I have listened to this group a couple of times live on TV. They just played on American Idol and I have to wonder what the hype is all about? The music sounds like a mix of the 60s-70s with random modern day mix-ins that could probably be produced by anyone.
I don' know, I like this band. I like a lot of their songs. I never used to like them but after a while I got hooked. I think the fact that many could do what they do is common with bands today. Almost all of them steal songs from previous artists and rarely write their own material.
It's just what the music industry has become (commercial), and in quite a short time I might add.
