My dad went through a phase of listening to that soak.up the sun album.and I wanted to blow my fucking brains out as a kid. Now I like it. Goddamn

Tuesday Night Music Club is a great album. Also she's hot.

Ehh.. Not bad. But I'd never listen to her on purpose.

Boring momrock/faux 90s bad girl shit. That is to say she had a kind of badass image, but the actual music didn't support it and was just boring radio pop rock. Also she was pretty much a singles artist and her albums had little depth or artistic direction to them--there wasn't much there beyond the hits.

I used to pop so many boners to her when I was 14.

She appeals far more to my eyes than my ears

If It Makes You Happy was just a Big Star rip.

I saw her live a few days ago, probably the most boring concert I’ve ever seen.

She was kind of a calculated girl version of Tom Petty (particularly on the 90s albums) with similar accessible pop/country rock that appeals to a lot of people.

That song seems like it was trying too hard for a shoutalong arena rock anthem. Rest of Globe isn't like that and the overall musicianship on the album is of a high standard.

She's one of those artists who, I like it when one of her songs comes on at Walgreens or whatever but I'll probably never actually go out and buy one of her albums.

Her and her producers managed an...interesting brand of music that wasn't quite rock, pop, country, or jazz, but had elements of all four.

TGS was her artistic peak easily.

>Sheryl Suzanne Crow (born February 11, 1962) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and actress. Her music incorporates elements of pop, rock, country, jazz, and blues. She has released ten studio albums, four compilations, two live albums, and has contributed to a number of film soundtracks.

You know, back in the day I didn't even know she was past the age of 30 when she broke. I saw her live in the early 2000s and great show.

Superior female 90's buttrocker coming through.

every day is a winding road is a decent song desu

I actually agree she was kind of a modernized 90s take on 80s radio/arena rock like Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks and the S/T and Globe particularly emphasize that connection. Still, her albums managed to be unique in their own way and not just copypaste those artists with updated production.

Not much when you last for one album and your music only appeals to edgy teens and hambeasts.

Her first trio of albums are really good. I think the bias because of her relationship with Kevin Gilbert skews the view for some folks.

>I think the bias because of her relationship with Kevin Gilbert
I have absolutely no idea who that is.

You're better off not knowing.

"if it makes you happy" is on the s/t, not globe sessions. you know, the one that sold a bajillion copies and had like 4 hit singles

The characters in her songs are usually these kind of lowlife skeezeball women who aren't necessarily evil people, just with no impulse control and they'll go and do self-destructive things again and again. Tom Waits is a bit similar in a way but his characters are older and more resigned to accept their loserdom. Sheryl's characters are still young enough that they could in theory turn their lives around.

That's nice how you make her sound like the 90s Bob Dylan, but she didn't even write most of the material on album one. Much of it is owed to the late, tragic Ken Gilbert.

Since the second and third albums were better than the overrated TNMC, I doubt Mr. Gilbert was as important to her songwriting as you claim. I think she didn't really survive the transition from the 90s into the 2000s that well--C'mon, C'mon and subsequent albums sort of lost the formula that had worked so well for her previously. S/T and Globe actually did a pretty good job of updating the Petty/Knicks sound for the 90s.

I think in the end, she also sank from overexposure. As someone pointed out, she was already into her 30s when TNMC came out and had years of accumulated experience as a session and backing musician. So she understood the music business and how it works pretty well. But eventually she became such an ubiquitous media presence you saw on every other award show and magazine cover that people just kind of got burned out on her.

Funny that since The Globe Sessions included a cover of Mississippi, an unreleased Dylan tune.

C'mon, C'mon is much less cohesive of an album than the 90s stuff and is about 50% filler. The filler isn't even interesting filler.

actually based and redpilled.
Sheryl Crow, Dido, KT Tunstall, and Tori Amos can go die, I fucking hate momrock.

She's actually a pretty competent musician and does actually play guitar unlike some girl singers. I think the music on her albums is more captivating than the lyrics (though maybe if I were female I'd connect with them better)

And no doubt that having been born in 1962, she grew up on 70s rock and you can hear a lot of that influence in her music.
