American musical group; alternative rock band

Claude says:Counting Crows' melancholic 90s alt-rock has been a steady companion through your years of listening, with their best-of compilations doing the heavy lifting while deeper cuts like "Omaha" and "Angels Of The Silences" suggest you're drawn to their folk-inflected weirdness as much as the radio hits. Adam Duritz's narrative, bittersweet approach to songwriting seems to hit something specific for you, especially in patches—that March spike speaks to a moment when their particular brand of wistful Americana just made sense.
