Also, as much as I love Depp's acting I would've been really intrigued to have seen Christopher Walken in this movie, who was apparantly originally considered for the role. Jesus!!! That would've been even more twisted.

I guess you didn't look hard enough, I believe you see them a couple of times. You see one on a keyboard, one smashing a guitar over an amp and I believe that's 4 of them looking like The Beatles.
As for it being compared to the original flick it's unavoidable but unfair. Roald Dahl hated the first film adaption with a passion as it wasn't anything like the book at all. Gene Wilder (especially at the end when he flips on Charlie and his Grandfather, that still shocks me even today hehe) was amazing but some of the songs drove me crazy even when I was a kid, and when I was stoned.
This is supposed to be a more faithful adaption of the book, NOT a remake of the first film which is why I'm looking forward to it...plus...at least I wont have to listen to "Cheer up, Charlie" argh!
I guess comparisons are enevitable though...

Yep, I saw them the second and third time I watched the trailer. I was so emotionally distraught and freaked out by the music when I watched it the first time that I completely missed them. I though I had read somewhere that the underlying theme of the movie was that Willie Wonka was really supposed to be the Devil. The original was very twisted.
