Bob Dylan edit
Is Adam Duritz's singing style really compared to Bob Dylan's? I always get the sense that people assume that because of the Bob Dylan line in "Mr. Jones." Olin
- I've never heard anyone compare him to Bob Dylan. For one, because he simply doesn't sound like Dylan, and for two, because the music is incredibly different.--Cwiddofer 06:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- I don't know if there's an official name for it, but the loose, rock and roll, swinging style of music in Mr. Jones especially is much more comparable to acts such as Rickie Lee Jones, Tom Waits, and early Bruce Springsteen (especially "Spirits in the Night") than to Bob Dylan.

More sources needed edit
There is a lot of unsourced material in the article. I have tagged it accordingly. SunCrow (talk) 08:46, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
"Is"/Are" edit
Given that the IP edit about three months ago (to "Counting Crows is an American rock band...") hasn't been reverted, I included alterations from "they" and "their" to "it" and "its", where appropriate, in my recent edit.
Seriously, though, this is a truly dire way of talking about bands - and the Chicago Sun-Times, as quoted in the article, agrees with me, and refers to them as "they". Just saying.. Harfarhs (talk) 19:14, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
