If you can do a HECK of a lot with just guitar, bass and drums, then just
imagine how much more you can do with more than that. And what is the
matter with music appealing to "chicks"? The last time I checked, there
were more women than men. If someones music appeals to women, then better
records sells, right? Also, there are rock songs on Neon Ballroom and
Diorama. Just because you're not banging your head to every song doesn't
mean a thing. As for Counting Crows, Train, Hootie, and Ben Folds Five.. I
always labeled most of them as one hit wonders or crap. Dave Matthews band,
however; is much better than all of those bands. Dave Matthews music brings
black and white people together and lovers together all the while rocking at
the same time - what's wrong with that? In popular music, right now, a lot
of the rock guys are bringing out mellow songs that actually have meaning.
Two, that I've never liked anyway, are Kid Rock with Sheryl Crow and Uncle
Kracker covering someone else's song. "Give me the beat boys and free my
soul I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away..."
