Favorite Counting Crows Songs - Addendum to Counting Crows Album Ranking List

 Favorite Counting Crows Songs

As a follow-up to my recent ranking of the studio albums from Counting Crows, here is a list of my current top 25 favorite Counting Crows songs. Overall, this is more difficult than ranking the albums, as there are so many good to great songs to consider and come up with an absolute favorites list. In addition, favorite songs tend to change more readily with time and circumstances, thus this list represents what I am thinking today, and would probably change if reconsidered next week, month, or year (although the top 5 or so are pretty solid and probably won't change much). Anyway, here is a list of my current top 25 favorite Counting Crows songs (with album indicated in parentheses-see key below), as well as my bottom 5 least favorite songs. 

25. Recovering the Satellites (RTS)
24. Hard Candy (HC)
