My local station, the appalling Fox FM, just played 'Big Yellow Taxi'.

Now, I know they deserve to get famous, but if I hear some radge singing 'Raining In Baltimore' out of tune, I swear I'll start on a killing spree.

Oh, and while we're on the subject...
Artist: Counting Crows
Album: August & Everything After
Genre: Rock
Reviewed By: Bob Waliszewski and Bob Smithouser
Pro-Social Content: A handful of potentially positive tunes deal with relationships, but context and true intent are cloaked in a lyrical haze.
Objectionable Content: The artist and "Mr. Jones" fantasize aloud about beautiful women and fame while they pass around a bottle of booze. "Rain King" espouses a misguided theology involving "a sea of pens and feathers . . . faith and sex and God in the belly of a black-winged bird." "Perfect Blue Buildings" paints life as meaningless. A depressed, suicidal woman "parks her car . . . takes her clothes off, says she's close to understanding Jesus" on "Round Here."
Summary/Advisory: The band's obscure, symbolic poetry (delivered with gritty Bruce Springsteen- and U2-style vocals) leaves a lot to the listener's imagination. But taken at face value, certain problematic lyrics would indicate that the Crows are for the birds.
