Ok, fight.

How the hell am I going to use the new popcorn smilie if there's no fight?
Elvis Presley said:Tweedy is the best american songwriter of our time. Whether you feel his lyrics are depressing or detached they are heartfelt. As for who is the better singer, well, its close. To me they both sing with a wide range of emotion. James obviously leans towards heavy reverb for his vocals in almost every case. While Tweedy is more raw and real in my opinion.

To me, its like comparing a seasoned well decorated veteran to a hotshot rookie. As it was stated, at this point, MMJ are not in the same league, but they could be, and fast.

In an America where Bob Dylan last released Love & Theft and is "currently" working on a new album, I beg to differ.
I would also put Stephen Malkmus and the watered-down Paul Westerberg higher as well.
Many people would also put Bright Eyes higher than Tweedy. Although I can't stand the guy's whiny delivery, there's no denying his talent.
When I think of songwriting I'm thinking about lyrics and vocal melody, structure. Wilco's talents lie more in the things they are willing to try in the studio. I'm not saying Tweedy is subpar, but best in the U.S.? A bit much.

They both have beards, but I think James wins this battle....
