I like the fact that he compared them to U2. I feel that a lot of these indy-disguised pop bands these days are trying to be U2 clones.
I have never really thought too much about The National. They neither intrigue or offend me.... I just find them boring and contrived, but at least they are not Muse.

I don't typically like rock music, but I really do like this song. First time I've even heard of The National.
I don't see the Stone Roses similarities though.
also, I Wanna Be Adored is the best Stone Roses song.
Check out more National songs on youtube, and listen to the album Boxer...it's one of my fave albums ever.
Songs by them I recommend:
'Lucky you'
'Daughters of the SoHo riots'
'Fake empire'
'Mistaken for strangers'
'Slow show'
'Start a war'
'Racing like a pro'
'Sorrow'
'Bloodbuzz Ohio'
'This is the last time'
'Forever after days'
Trust me...if you burn these songs on to a disc it'll be one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful albums you've ever listened to. Also include 'apartment story' of course.

I love both Joy Division and The Stone Roses. Didn't know anyone in Calgary had heard of the Stone Roses.

Maybe this is a joke I'm not getting, but...
