counting crows - duritz's lyrics can stand on their own as pure poetry. they've often got a catchy and soulful melodic delivery that has spawned countless imitations.
weezer - they're a bit like blink182 in that they combine a bouncy cheerful punk sound with a decent dose of melancholy at times. most punk groups wear on my after a while because of a constant and repetitive sound... but weezer has a variety and complexity of delivery that have kept their music in my rotations since the first time i heard buddy holly.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
