Jack Johnson I see you've retracted what you said before.

I have to say, I too have a greater affection for Mayer after the live versions. I love "I Don't Trust Myself" (real title??), and "Why Georgia".

John Mayers' music is far more introspective and deep. He's definitely not writing about Curious George... Wonderland I guess sounds similar if you aren't really listening. Mayer is also more accomplished, and I don't think they're really in competition together??

Also, I think that "No Such Thing" was intended to be reflective, and kind of a "message to youth" (wow, that sounded lame). It's like you want to just tell these kids to open their eyes! I actually emailed the lyrics to my step-bro to remind him or something...

Why bash either? They're both great to me.

John Mayer is talented. If you ever see him live you'll agree

Lol I'm trying to learn Waiting On the World to change on guitar, and ya... he's good. That shiz-nits is hard! At least the chords are anyway, the solo however is easy.

Dr. Rez

Try In repair and Belief on Continuum, they are both extremely good songs.

I agree with Crowquill and how John Mayer is pretty boring. His songs to me don't have much soul in them, and I can't really connect with them. Maybe that is my problem. Plus he isn't that innovative. He is only a popular guitar player who is somewhat good at guitar. It ticks me off how people who don't know anything about music call him one of the best of this generation because there are SO many better guitarists.

No, he really is a talented guitar player he just doesn't make good music or do anything with his talent. He's kind of like Eddie Van Halen in that sense.
