Wilco Band • Page 9

a trimmed down being there would be their best album

as it stands it's very good but they have better

 

It’s def top 5. I just don’t think due to its length it tops any of those classics.

 

I will say Ode To Joy is one of those sentimental favorites because it came out right when I went to London on my favorite vacation and it soundtracked that

 

I'm generally very very in favor of the 'this long thing with a couple weak songs would be better if it were a shorter thing with only great songs' argument, but I'm not sure there's anything on Being There weak enough for me to invoke it here.

 

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
A Ghost Is Born
Being There
Summerteeth
Sky Blue Sky
A.M.
The Whole Love
Star Wars
Wilco (The Album)
Ode to Joy
Cousin
Cruel Country
Schmilco

 

I would like to state for clarity that my like was for your being there comments. I politely disagree about SBS

but being there would be the best record most bands would ever make. Has 2 of my 3 favorite Wilco songs too

edit: I also agree TWL is seriously underrated. first and last songs alone make it better than their last several for me

 

Art of Almost is so fucking good

 

Finally got it live on the Sleater Kinney tour and I lost my mind during the end

 

It mostly goes without saying but this band’s C tier is most band’s A-tier

 

this feels like the right review of Wilco the album specifically. Like that is a flawed but pretty fucking great record if you remove the context of it coming after a historic run

 

for real, it has TRACKS. You and I is god tier wilco

 

won't hear any flaws about that extremely good record

 

Deluxe box with extra live album. 15 bucks used. Big scoreeeeee
