Roger Wilco was awesome! Space Quest FTW!

is Ashes of American Flags dvd any good?

3/1/2010 7:51:48 PM

Loved everything up to YHT, YHT was ok, but annoying as shit at points. LOVE A Ghost Is Born

3/1/2010 8:01:10 PM

^ YHF is my favorite. i can give you "radio cure" and maybe "reservations." outside of a couple songs on AGIB a lot of it is kinda meh in my opinion.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:10 PM. Reason : YHF]

3/1/2010 8:09:20 PM

SUMMERTEETH

anyone? anyone?

3/1/2010 8:10:28 PM

I know it's out of character for me to be pointlessly declarative on matters of opinion, but Being There is the best Wilco album. Period.

3/1/2010 8:10:45 PM

i <3 being there

and summerteeth

those are my favs

3/1/2010 8:11:43 PM

^^ not really gonna try and argue that. i just find YHF more interesting. "dreamer in my dreams" is probably my favorite wilco song though.

3/1/2010 8:12:50 PM

few things make me more mad than the last 2 wilco releases

especially the most recent one

god

awful

3/1/2010 8:16:56 PM

Summerteeth is about as perfect as a straight ahead alt country rock pop whatever album can get. Being There kinda drags a bit in the second disc.

Pretty much all my favorite songs from ages 15-19 can be found on those two albums, though.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:20 PM. Reason : khcadwal isn't a Weezer fan I see]

3/1/2010 8:19:25 PM

hahaha

well i forgot about weezer

that doesn't get me as worked up though

and i <3 ernie for sharing my affinity for summerteeth.

i think sky blue sky starts out alright. it just falls off precipitously after "side with the seeds."

3/1/2010 8:21:59 PM

On and on and on is my favorite dad rock era Wilco song. One Wing is probably the best dad rock era Wilco song.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:23 PM. Reason : shit maybe Impossible Germany]

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:23 PM. Reason : lol wtf Walken]

3/1/2010 8:23:27 PM

HAHAHAHAHA i was about to say on and on and on is kinda good in a really bad way.

and i was about to say don't even mention walken that song makes me want to vomit.

impossible germany, i'll take. you can have the rest

and don't even get me started on wilco the album and wilco the song. good god.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:25 PM. Reason : .]

3/1/2010 8:24:23 PM

The Song is great, I really love it

Walken is so fuckin goofy durp durp durp

3/1/2010 8:26:00 PM

Other than a few songs here and there, I can't remember Wilco ever being good. And I've given Wilco a serious try. Along similar lines, I can only think of a handful of songs from Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, and even Lucero, but Wilco just doesn't speak to me.

I do like Whiskeytown and a few Ryan Adams albums however.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 8:34 PM. Reason : Lou Ford, not bad.]

3/1/2010 8:33:46 PM

sucks how much wilco has gone downhill in their last 2 albums since nels cline came along. at the same time the best songs on those albums are almost entirely because of what he brings to the table in my opinion.

3/1/2010 8:33:50 PM

boring Nels is boring

"boring Nels is boring"

not on "impossible germany" and "side with the seeds" he isn't

3/1/2010 8:43:18 PM

Because that isn't boring Nels, that is Nels Cline fuckin shreddin

3/1/2010 8:43:59 PM

i tried to listen to his avant garde jazz shit one time and made it like 30 seconds into one song

3/1/2010 8:45:31 PM

So did Jeff Tweedy

3/1/2010 8:46:05 PM

I like Wilco, Son Volt I could do without

3/1/2010 9:15:08 PM

3/1/2010 10:15:56 PM

I remember when they were Uncle Tupelo, and played the bar scene here (STL)... to mild success.

[Edited on March 1, 2010 at 11:40 PM. Reason : added STL]

3/1/2010 11:40:02 PM

technically wasn't only like half of wilco in uncle tupelo?

3/1/2010 11:52:21 PM

who would win in a fight between uncle tupelo and mr. bungle?

3/1/2010 11:53:41 PM

I've always liked a few Wilco songs, but could take or leave them in general. I have to say that all of the songs in the original post are pretty decent at minimum, and a couple of them are really good. I Got You (At the End Of the Century) is great...I'd never heard that one before, and I really like it.

3/2/2010 1:27:15 AM

wow, I have to say I have a newfound appreciation for Wilco after checking out some of the songs in this thread.

their newer stuff is mostly pretty boring and mediocre, in my opinion. My favorite song out of their material I'd previously checked out (Say You Miss Me) is, no surprise, an older song.

I'll have to give some more of their older stuff a listen.

3/2/2010 11:56:16 PM

Now they have all changed to Hess stations.

Damn buyouts

3/2/2010 11:59:30 PM

3/3/2010 12:17:31 AM

wilco was never awesome

3/3/2010 12:20:42 AM

get out

3/3/2010 12:33:41 AM

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart was a tight little flick. Summerteeth is totally my favorite. And just because this is a vinylbandit thread...

^ Well-played, sir.

I'm feeling good today. theDuke866 found out that old Wilco is awesome, I've got thumper listening to Outkast deep cuts...maybe I should use my powers for good instead of evil more often.

^^ no, that's new crappy wilco

8/23/2010 12:35:31 PM

Is this bttt about the Numero Group release?

8/23/2010 1:18:52 PM

what're some other good, old, Wilco songs?

I have about 10 of their songs now...I'm hoping that they have more really awesome stuff that I just haven't found yet. They certainly have plenty of songs that just suck.

8/23/2010 1:25:48 PM

Just get Being There and Summerteeth -- that's three albums worth of mostly great stuff. "ELT" and "A Shot in the Arm" are both on Summerteeth. I don't see any good videos for either, but they're two of my favorite Wilco easy rockers. I don't think they play ELT live much these days, but ASINA is great live.

You'd probably also like the stuff they did with Billy Bragg, writing music to lost Woody Guthrie lyrics.

edit: here's New Wilco playing Shot in the Arm
