I truly, truly don't hear/get the comparisons.

I'm not sure Jay Ferrar is in UT or SV. I do like Jay Farrar a lot, however.

Perhaps the mods can put this in its rightful place.

THAT statement I can fully agree with.

If you're going to hold every album up to the standard of the late 60's/early 70's output of The Stones, those albums are fucked. I'm sorry you fell that way about VL. Is there a middle ground between having a handful of great songs and sucking ass?

I believe they resist the categorization that they are a 'Southern Rock Band.' Being that all the members are from the South, it's pretty hard to argue against what you said. As far as their whining about it goes, it's hard to sympathize when the album that put them on the map is Southern Rock Opera.
