I wouldn't say he's like Dave Matthews . . . their voices sound similar and they both play acoustic guitar so there were a lot of comparisons drawn, but I think anyone who compares the two is missing a lot of the more subtle details.
I wouldn't say Jason Mraz or Howie Day is necessarily any better -- I think John Mayer has equal amounts or more talent -- but since they're less overplayed they still sound newer, more fresh sounding and therefore less boring. I do like John Mayer but I do think that the more the radio plays his stuff, the more boring it all sounds.
And yes, those kids who just "discovered" him this summer and think they're really cool for doing so are pretty obnoxious . . . but that happens with every artist.
