True story: I saw Maroon 5 the summer that their first album came out. They opened for John Mayer and somebody else I think. They played their asses off. They played rock n roll with real instruments. It was a different time.

So they actually used to be a band and not just Adam Levine featuring ???????, ?????, ?????, and ?????????

You take that back. Music today is amazing.

It's true. And Adam sat down and played the piano the whole time like a god dang musician, instead of a model. I've never seen a better example of fame wrecking a band.

I feel like this song/album was the last of the Maroon 5-as-a-band-of-musicians era. After this they (Adam) kind of blew up so quickly and huge that it became easier just to get others to play the instruments or use computers to produce the sounds. Also, sex. Sex sells. Adam sells.

I also think it was the song that put them over the top because I don't recall hearing about them at all until this song came out when I was in 6th grade and every radio station, person, and dog was listening to it.

Meh, maybe this song. After 2007 their music changed entirely and they became less of a band more of a platform for Adam Levine to show how sexy he is.

Holy Crap I feel old now. I was out of college and maybe already one wife down when I heard of them first.

Also remember that one woman with the smashing voice whose career never took off?

 

[Braineack]

she sounds like ME singing... smashing is fitting.

You are old, my friend.
And I'm confused...Adam has a band?!!

Children born in the year 2000 will be getting their learner's permits next year. Even as someone who isn't that old, that makes me feel old.

Kind of reminds me of a softer version of Evanescence (from when I went through my goth/punk/metal fusion phase.)
