@jakeiverson57 you hit the nail right smack bang in the middle of the head. Ryan Adams is a whole class above anyone

@jakeiverson57 Ahh c'mon, don't be a dickhead. I love Ryan Adams, but John Mayer is a good songwriter in his own right. Nothing complex, but a good songwriter. Listen to "3x5". Lovely song. nice natural imagery and atmosphere. Don't have to be breaking walls down to write a good song. It's a serene song about something as simple as enjoying the wonders of nature. That's enough for me, I like all types of songwriting. You call it "dumb", I call it the ability to locate beauty in simplicity.

@ShivaTheAuspicious Highly respected musician? The man is hated by any circles who know a thing about music. Mayer is a cookie cutter shape created for public consumption. You don't have to think while you're listening to him, and that's why he's popular amongst the dumber region of the public. It's very simple, very mundane, very run of the mill. He won't be remembered in ten years.

So damn good Ryan, one of my fav Eva songs

the drunk donkey all the way lol

@mrgeoovanni John, imo seems to have a real snarl to him. Not some implied or intentional faux pain or frustration with the world. John's songwriting seems to have a specific type of urgency to it. People who like RA seem to be attracted to the whole "Oooo hes a painful brooding musician..looks he's got a dirty v-neck shirt on! OOOooo!" Ryan to me appeals as sort of "housewife alt rock", where john has entered into a era of his career where he's become a highly respected musician in general.
-
@mrgeoovanni To me they're both too pop really. But most people contrasting ryan and john say Ryans a better songwriter. I have to pleasantly disagree. I tried RA many times over and it always seemed very..inauthentic and sorta like I was listening to a snobby, Apple using, starbucks playright, trust-fundee trying to be Claude Debussy (romantic) meets Edgard Varese (eclectic/avant garde).

is that guy giving beer to a donkey?Jeez. But would be a line from a Ryan Adams song somehow.
-
Yes indeed! This is great. Ryan looks ace in this. That guy in the background, really getting into it is terrific. Hope I get back there again one day. Brilliant place. Having to fly back home to cold, wet weather was a really depressing episode....anyway, great vid :)
