Never heard of Wilco (perhaps I've heard a song and didn't know it was Wilco), but I think it would be an insult to The Cars to say Wilco sounds like them.

Ok, Mike, I checked out Wilco on youtube and after 30 seconds, it was evident to me that Wilco sucks.

Sorry.

It just doesn't do anything for me. In fact, the first video you've posted is the one I started to watch.

Perhaps I'm too old to get it?

Default Wilco

But better than the cars? Different eras. Different style. Not better, just great in a different way.

Bands starting up 20 years from now will say they were influenced by Wilco. None will say that about The Cars, just like none are saying it now.
