i thought this thread was about a gas station chain

3/1/2010 9:38:23 AM

wilco was never awesome

a better name for this thread may have been "remember when wilco was tolerable?"

3/1/2010 9:39:15 AM

I thought this thread was about the farm supply cooperative

3/1/2010 9:39:44 AM

yeah.

their stage performances now are about as boring as can be.

(same can be said about the last couple of albums)

Jay Bennett really did make a big difference

3/1/2010 9:45:01 AM

Sigh

Dammit, I came in here to post

jay bennett (r.i.p.) reminds me of why i love playing music

i was in a band for a while where the songwriter wanted me to "hit my marks" and play the exact same accents and fills every time we played, and i'm just not that kind of guy

on that version of "monday", bennett's all over the place

playing inversions, playing an octave up, but doing it all within the framework of the song, not missing his lead part or noodling at all

he's into the song and he's having fun

3/1/2010 9:53:35 AM

I REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!

this thread makes me sad

RIP, WILCO

3/1/2010 9:55:11 AM

I NVEVER HEARD OF ANY BAND YOU SUPPORT.

"Americana" is actually a grammy category?? When the fuck did this happen??

Aww I still like Wilco, sad.

I am going to see them next month in Providence, I hope they do not suck.

I CAME HERE TO POST THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS GRAMMY WINNING, TOP FIVE RECORD HAVING, GOLD ALBUM SELLING BAND. I AM IGNORANT OF DECENT MUSIC. THIS BAND IS OBSCURE TO ME.

3/1/2010 12:00:50 PM

3/1/2010 12:01:01 PM

3/1/2010 12:05:11 PM

^ TROOF

3/1/2010 12:25:06 PM

A band that's mediocre to the genre but successfully increases popularity in the mainstream music world.

I.E. - Wilco is whatever. I don't care for them personally, but they did bring some attention to the genre.

3/1/2010 12:29:15 PM

White people love them some Wilco.

3/1/2010 12:30:17 PM

I think what Netstorm is trying to say is that he loves Son Volt.

3/1/2010 12:33:26 PM

Lol at the people claiming wilco to be some underground band

3/1/2010 12:38:09 PM

but in all srsness pre-Fight Songs old 97's > wilco

3/1/2010 12:50:11 PM

What is Wilco?

Remember, I do not listen to gay music.

3/1/2010 12:52:21 PM

i didnt know that wilco formed when uncle tupelo split

that is relevant to my interests

3/1/2010 12:55:17 PM

^^^^^

3/1/2010 12:56:28 PM

i really liked wilco (the album) when it came out last summer, but now i find myself not listening to anything on it except for "one wing" and "bull black nova"

3/1/2010 4:58:26 PM

You and everyone else

(except for the part about liking the album)

3/1/2010 5:12:27 PM

i do have a serious problem of significantly overrating albums after the first listen or two and then realizing how wrong i was later.

3/1/2010 5:20:49 PM

i really liked wilco when i first heard them...these days i can take it or leave it.

It is obscure. I have no idea who they are or what they play. I don't listen to the radio or watch any form of mainstream TV.

3/1/2010 7:09:40 PM

I, too, frequently refuel at Hess.

3/1/2010 7:12:10 PM

lol, how did you know? Hess is my favorite place to fill up. They're the only place around here that carries 40 cetane diesel.

3/1/2010 7:13:41 PM

Wilco has a few good songs. I prefer son volt, though.

I don't see how so many of you have never even heard of wilco.

3/1/2010 7:16:35 PM

wilco is not that obscure of a band

people in this thread are retarded

i know a lot of people that don't listen to "gay" music that still know wilco because people that like rock and country sometimes venture into alt country and eventually stumble upon wilco. i also know a lot of jam band types that enjoy wilco.

they are far from obscure.

i mean i know this is tww so i don't expect much. but sheesh. its fucking wilco.

3/1/2010 7:21:56 PM

I'm extremely disconnected from mainstream society. It's kinda neat actually. On the rare occasions that I go to [downtown] bars I hear nothing but music that is new to me.

3/1/2010 7:25:12 PM

like journey?

3/1/2010 7:35:42 PM

anyone who saw a volkswagon commercial during the summer of 2007 has heard wilco

3/1/2010 7:36:25 PM

I came here to post what everyone else has already done.
When was Wilco awesome?

3/1/2010 7:38:45 PM

^^ they heard the non-awesome wilco. but that is true

3/1/2010 7:39:47 PM

well obviously I know Journey, etc.

I'm referring to new rap.
