Not really. I like plenty of basic songs, as well as more complex challenging songs, but these guys just sort of bore me. I gave Boys And Girls In America another listen and thought Stuck Between Stations was good, but other than that nothing caught my ear.

Forgive me, but not even the most brilliant lyricist on the planet could salvage a dull piece of music. I don't particularly like classic rock yes, I prefer something new and original regarding style, but if the likes of The white stripes can produce exciting rock music (that is very much rooted in the classic rock genre), I don't see why I should tolerate a band that never should have left the local bar scene. This is in no way a brash generalization, it's quite individualized, The Hold Steady make boring music that gets on my tits.
