Wilco and Son Volt are very similar to me but I would never compare them to Eagles. And I would not get any votes for "hipster" as more than a few around the forum would surely exclaim.
For me, Wilco and Son Volt are lucky to have two or three songs on an album that are interesting and the others are just warmed over mud pies and just that tasty to the ears. Both bands are more "miss" than "hits" to me with very forgettable songs.
I have given them plenty of opportunities because both bands have not bad starts with a few of their albums but the songs quickly fall from my favor. I have at least three albums each from both Son Volt and Wilco and could count on ten fingers the number of songs that I enjoy listening to.
Catchy? Someone said catchy? Let me remind you how catchy Fountains Of Wayne and Bowling For Soup can be. Both bands seem to have genuine fun making music; granted one of them is a little better at making music than the other.
Fountains Of Wayne is just not sure if they want to be grown up with mature lyrics or school kids with the problems and quirkyness of adolescence. Bowling For Soup are close to locker room antics and less than thought provoking. I am not recommending that anyone go out and get all their albums but some of their stuff is worth a listen once. Fountains Of Wayne, however should be somewhere on your next purchase list.
And you can almost miss the Pink Floyd reference in their song, "Supercollider". Not that there is any other resemblance or influence.

So call me what you want.
