If your a fan of Supergrass and appreciate similar music from a band that is long lived, check out Sloan.

They are about to release the 10th album of their 20 year career, "The Double Cross". 
 
Alas. . . from the 11th June 2011, Supergrass were no more. . . shame.

This album is both good and important—it does it all, and its influence continues.

Sometimes I still don't get bands. I mean, these guys cut the album of their lives and promptly break up over the perennial "musical differences." That sucks.
 
Agree, but it really makes me appreciate all the more the ones that stayed together.

I totally agree.  And if not for RP, I never would have bought it.

I think this song is underrated. The music and lyrics build great images of nostalgia.

This evocates a mixture between Lennon and Harrison, somehow (that voice)

They have a new album out. It's much more rockin than Road to Rouen. I like it a lot more. Reminds me of their older material.

Life forms all have influences. This is really enjoyable music that appears to be made by people who enjoy making it. I thank RP for exposing me to this band and this album.

Completely agree. The first time I listened to them, I thought The Beatles meet Pink Floyd

What's so wrong with wanting to aspire to greatness?

children wish to be like their role models
artists wish to be like the masters
musicians wish to be like the greats
and on and on...

sounding like the Beatles is a great compliment as far as I can tell...if you're into the Beatles sound.

sounding like Otis Redding, or Marvin Gay, or Brian Wilson, or John Mayall, or Herbie Hancock, or Wynton Marsalis, or Charles Mingus, or John Coltrane...

painting like Monet, or Klimt, or Kandinsky, or Van Dyke, or Rothko...

playing like Tiger, or Ripken, or Unitas, or Pele...

living like MLK, or Ghandi, or Ben Franklin, or Carnegie, or whatever diety you choose for that matter

writing like RW Emerson, or PD Eastman, or Frost, or, Samuel Clemens...

and on and on...you get my point.

whatever you aspire to or believe in, right? isn't this how we define greatness to some degree? if no one ever grooved on the work of those we collectively consider great...wouldn't those supposed "greats" just have been masturbating all along?

i would guess that one could only hope to someday be referred to as "sounds like, or writes like, or lives like, or plays like **insert supposed greatness here**"...what a statement of high regard...assuming you're not a gimmicky, no-talent hack of course.

Every time I hear the intro, I have this heart-stopping moment when I'm terrified it might actually BE that detestable song... So glad it isn't!

I think the backing female vocals are processed through a Leslie Speaker (or a Leslie simulator).

I just bought this album after hearing a couple of tunes here on RP. The whole album is great, except I don't really see how the song "Coffee In The Pot" belongs on the album. It's growing on me, but I don't get that song.
