Plain rip-off.

For some bizarre reason, I just can't see Counting Crows ripping off Wire.
I can't see them ripping off anything good.

The first time I heard it, I thought it was the Pernice Brothers, and I thought, "What the hell is Joe [a grad school classmate of mine] doing on The Rock?"

Still, this band is totally crap, "Long December" being yet another example of that one decent song by an otherwise wholly reprehensible outfit. And the singer is one of the more physically repellent pop stars in recent memory.

Counting Crap.
