my 10 cents. Overrated: A.M.: "Box Full of Letters" Being There: "The Lonely One" Mermaid Avenue 1: "California Stars" Summerteeth: "How to Fight Loneliness" Mermaid Avenue 2: "Airline to Heaven" Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: "I'm the Man Who Loves You" A Ghost is Born: "The Late Greats" Sky Blue Sky: "Walken" Wilco 7: "Wilco, The Song" (Yes I already think this song is massively overhyped.) Underrated: A.M.: "It's Just That Simple" Being There: "Say You Miss Me" Mermaid Avenue: "Another Man's Done Gone" Summerteeth: "My Darling" MA2: "Someday Some Morning Sometime" Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: "Rad

I tend to agree. It just seems like there's no spark. It's like when you're laying in a hammock and there's no reason for you to get up. You're too relaxed. Sky Blue Sky was a very going through the motions album to me.

Where can I get that set? I know there was a torrent up a while back...

That doesn't actually list what I'm looking for; that lists rare tracks. Occasionally you'll see single information. What I'm looking for is a complete list of Wilco songs that were broken off the record so to speak and sent out as promo singles. for example: What Light Can't Stand It

Definitely AGIB. We already have about 30 pages on each record pre-2004 in the Kot book, and a dvd about the making of for YHF and AGIB (well the bonus dvd.)

I was just wondering, what songs were released by Wilco as promo singles? A.M.: "Boxful of Letters" "I Must Be High" "Casino Queen" Being There: "Outtamind (Outtasight)" "Monday" "Hotel Arizona" Summer Teeth: "Can't Stand It" "A Shot in the Arm" "Nothingsevergonnastandinmyway (Again)" Mermaid Avenue Vol 2: "Secret of the Sea" Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: "Kamera" "War on War" "Jesus, Etc" "Heavy Metal Drummer" A Ghost is Born: "Muzzle of Bees" "I'm a Wheel" "Theologians" Sky Blue Sky: "What Light" "Walken" Other: "The Thanks I Get" "One True Vine" is that

My roommate in college told me that...he was obsessed with the wild west...I never bothered to cross reference it, because I figured he knew his stuff. Though I think in the case of Joey and John Wesley, Bob was just trying to write his own take on the "Pretty Boy Floyd" anti-hero type.

John Wesley Harding, oddly enough, was completely racist too, and killed way more blacks than William did...but once again, he was a cowboy, which is a cool thing...like a mobster or a boxer...but not like a plantation owner. I'm not saying that makes Zantzinger a good person, it's just funny how like...equally bad people can be "cool" under certain circumstances.

Yeah...the earliest cds that started to sound loud were probably early 90s grunge records. Then by the mid-90s every record was compressed to hell...which doesn't work well on certain music, but on rap I like my bass pounding.

hahaha I know..subtle way of bitching about it. In all seriousness, I'm excited. The CD total suffers from 80s CD syndrome; I don't know if it was even really mastered. It's so tinty, and tiny sounding.

Nels isn't a problem to me. I have more problem with Mike's Yanni-esque piano parts which have like no tension at all. Jay had such a great approach to counter-point, and the whole mathematical side of music. People love to diss on Jay, and act like he would've ruined the band, but all of his major co-songwriting contributions are among the boards favorite songs; I don't see anyone ever dissing Jesus Etc or Poor Places, yet Jay wrote parts of both of those songs (for Jesus, Etc, basically the whole instrumental part.) I'm glad we have AGIB, but SBS was proof to me of how much they've suffe

This almost makes up for getting dumped last night.

Oh my God...I just peed myself. Yeah, Jay and Jeff reuniting is about as likely as Elvis Presley, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Warren Zevon, D.Boon, Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith doing a cover of We Are the World to bring in the Chinese New Year.

"Like a Rolling Stone" oh wait...wrong thread.

He was scum. I found it odd how Dylan was demonize scum on occasion like Zanzinger, but then champion someone like Joey who was also scum, or Hurricane Carter, who actually still has a lot of evidence pointing to him as the perpetrator of those murders.

"Summer Teeth" was on at Guitar Center of all places.

Wow...those are like...two of my top 5.

You are ALL wrong...because none of you have mentioned "Gel" by Collective Soul or "3 A.M." by Matchbox 20. DEAR GOD.

Jeff also mentioned that they recorded a total of 30 songs for Being There; we only have about 21 I think...maybe 22? It seems the average # of outtakes is between 6-12 per record.

I'd honestly like a new element that hasn't been in previous wilco records; every album they add a new element it seems. The Melotrons in Summerteeth, the noise in YHF, guitar jams in AGIB. I dunno? I was a little dissapointed when Jeff inferred after AGIB that the band was expirementing with polyrhythms a bit (citing Fela Kuti as a new influence) and that never materialized into a record. My biggest hope is that the album doesn't sound like any Wilco record before it, nor any Wilco record after it.

Seriously? I think melodically and arrangement wise, it's one of wilco's most consistent albums, if not the most. There's no song on Summerteeth that doesn't knock my socks off. If I did my personal top 20 Wilco songs, it'd include about 8 songs from YHF, 6 from Summerteeth and 6 from the other records. Of course, I never gave a shit about Country before getting into Wilco, so I have no problem with Summerteeth's arrangements; in fact they're a lot more in tune with what I listen to outside of Wilco (Beatles, Beach Boys, Zombies, Late Velvet Underground, early 80s Elvis Costello) then are m

Well, I love Summerteeth and YHF... personally I think both should have 5s on AMG, but since they only did one, I'm glad it was Summerteeth (since YHF has a zillion perfect scores anyway.)

Didn't know where to put this...but I chose this. AMG upgraded a couple of albums to 5 star, and Summer Teeth became one of only 4 rock albums since 1998 to get 5 stars from them (and I think one of only like 7 albums period.) As a HUGE fan of the album, it was nice to see it get some of the praise that's usually reserved for YHF.

Blind Willie McTell (1983) would be a top 5 song for any modern artist imo.
