You can, but it's not the "default correct form." You should use が. If you use を, it places emphasis on the preceding thing. I've spoken with professional linguists, both non-Japanese and Japanese, about this. It's not really a "rule" so much as something that just happens to be true. (I said so inelegantly.)
