In the last six months or so, they've become pretty much the only music I need. For me, the thing I love most is their celebration of music somehow avoids any star power or emergent, singular personality. O how I love the band. I echo your love for The Band.

Although Richard Manuel's vocals tend more towards "classic soul" where Wayne Coyne is a little bit "nasal indie." With that said, however, I'm a fan of both. By the way, "Whispering Pines" is a classic example of what I'm talking about here. This chorus is an absolute hymn. The mix of Manuel's vocals and Garth Hudson's organ take me back to the sawdust trails of a past that I never experienced.
