You sound like an idiot. I respect what they do a great deal. It's a white guy singing soul music. It's kind of banal to me, thus I don't listen to them in the car or at home. But I did see them live and thought it was awesomely entertaining.

I'd love to have them playing their songs with some Van Morrison at my wedding. Don't get offended just because your top 3 favorite artist isn't my favorite, especially when I'm complimenting them.

You make a good point. The first time I heard "Call Me" I was kind of blown away. The more I heard it, it just seemed like a white guy impersonating something between Otis Redding and James Brown. Portions of the song sound like a straight rip-off from "Hold On, I'm Coming." And although not as good of a singer, Mayer Hawthorne was doing retro white boy soul a few years ago.

I think your point is valid. Live, their show really gets me going. Really awesome stuff.

and while their record is good, there is just no way to encapsulate the live act in the studio with them.

Top 3? They are great but cmon man.

I'm not sure how you can possibly contest his claim. That is what a live show is all about: personal connection and experience. How can you possibly state that HIS SPaBB's experience wasn't a top 3 concert expereince for HIM?
