The Tennessee Kids son Bruno's band. It ain't even close.

I will say, Bruno is a better pop melody writer than JT though. And technically a better singer. But he doesn't have the songs that *move* me. JT's got them. "Broke version of...." all you want, his songs move. Outside of "Locked Out of Heaven" Bruno has nothing that doesn't sound like an American Idol contestant's first single for me. But I wouldn't pit these two against each other, when both are eatin' off plates they deservedly earned.

Here's the thing about JT that I'll doubt you'll accept. Dude is charismatic as fuck. And he's surrounded himself post-boy band with team of dudes who elevate that charisma musically. Is he seeing the "great?" Probably not. But is he seeing his contemporaries? Yeah. Ten fold.
