The last one is the filler for me. Stereophonics aren't a band I ever liked except for one song that, tellingly, eludes me.

Same here. I've tried to get into them multiple times, mostly because people I know are baffled that I'm not already into them.

Just remembered the song I liked. Tho watching the video again, maybe liked is too strong a word.

People are always telling me I should like them because I like Can and stuff. I don't get it.

Nothing remotely like Can. Odd.

Can? Jesus, I never heard Can in them. They sounded to me like a quality basic bar band but with enough Britpop sense to chart.

I'll tell you one thing—since I've joined this band, I've really discovered how bad other people's ears are in terms of being able to identify what bands actually sound like. We had a huge argument the other month because the guitarist had written a song that sounded exactly as if it was a new Cure song, and the singer kept harping on and on about how much it sounded like The Smiths. I couldn't believe it.

Oh shit. I'm thinking of Stereolab, sorry.

Oh, okay. Yeah, there I can hear Can. Stereolab are okay, but most songs sound the same to me. I can listen to 'em but rarely feel an interest to do so.

Either way, I was trying to argue "why are we ok with sounding like either of these bands?" This band is stressful.

I assume your argument is to not sound like anyone else? It's a great ideal, but the vast degree of sub-genres makes it pretty much impossible now.

No, I'm not that idealistic, but I think when somebody comes in with a new song where we all say very confidently "that sounds very much like [band x]" we should work a little harder to cover our theft. I get enormous amounts of pushback on this small preference.

only one band you need to be trying to sound like, imho:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!
