Next Wilco Album
Four years later... "The Album" hasn't been mentioned. It may be their best so far.Waiting for "Tweedy" to come in. I think this one is going to be great! 
Greatest song titles..
Mapman: To your post... "Steve Martin"... "Atheists Don't Have No Songs". 
Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye"

Similar sounding bands.
Dido "No Angel" vs. Beth Orton "Central Reservation"?To me, the similarities are striking. 
Similar sounding bands.
Check out Chuck Prophet, especially "Soap & Water" and tell me you don't hear Tom Petty? The vocal styling, the familiar tempo of the guitar? The basic driving beat/undertone of the songs here. Huh?Onhwy61: I've listened quite a lot to my comp... 
listening in the dark?
Buconero117: That makes sense to me but I find that my mood or excitement of listening to a new lp or preconceived notion of how a brand new lp may sound affects my listening experience much more. (All of this may be in the same ballpark though) H...
