"Superman (It`s Not Easy)" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
It`s not difficult to see why Five For Fighting struck a chord with young American audiences. In their music one can hear a bit of Dave Matthews`s vocal warmth, Tonic`s pop sensibility, Train`s melodic soulfulness, and Counting Crows` intensity. This is not to say that the ceaselessly infectious and hook-filled AMERICA TOWN is derivative. It`s just that Five For Fighting are tapping into a gestalt of which they are as much a part as any of the aforementioned bands. They also happen to be quite good at plying their pop-rock trade; constructing enough classic melodies, memorable choruses, and gritty ruminations to hopelessly ensnare anyone enamored of folk-rock circa 2001. Hooks, warmth, charisma, what more could one reasonably ask for from a humble American rock band?
