    2. Putting on clothes in the bathroom if it is still steamy from the shower

    3. Shoes with laces

    Love the Southern Rock love in this one!

     

    For the record, this is totally a favorites, not who is the best kinda thing for anyone else who wants to chime in....

  3. My personal top 10 feel better songs are (in no particular order):

     

    1) The Weight (The Band)

    2) No One's Gonna Love You (Band of Horses)

    3) Hey Jude (Wilson Pickett version)

    4) Twist and Shout (The Beatles)

    5) Shelter From The Storm (Bob Dylan)

    6) Trench Town Rock (Bob Marley)

    7) Stay With Me (The Faces)

    8) The Happy Song (Dum-Dum) (Otis Redding)

    9) Instant Karma! (John Lennon)

    10) Via Chicago (Wilco)

  4. It broke my heart. Here is why. My best friend and talk music more than anything else. It is part of the glue that binds us (such as the case in many friendships). For the most part we had always agreed on most things this side of say a TV on the Radio (he hated, I loved). When Sky Blue Sky came out I gave him call to give my opinion and here his. For me, Sky Blue was a bit of a disappointment given what had come prior to it. What I mean to say is it was a disappointment in the way that some feel Goat's Head Soup is a disappointment only because it followed Exile On Main St. The level of excellence and "the bar" had been set so fucking high that there was nowhere to go but down, even if down meant 4 stars instead of 5. My buddy on the other hand hated it and said that it was over, the window had closed. By window he meant that every band has a certain window for original greatness. Eventually, everyone makes their Presence or In Through The Outdoor. I tried to tell him, no it was a feeling out record. It was casual and sweet and that once the band really truly gelled they would find their teeth again. Then Wilco (The Album) comes out. I fucking cried. I cried because the album was at best a 3 star album (and that rating is me being a fucking homer) and more importantly because my friend might be right. Wilco may have run their course as far as brilliant original song works go. Don't get me wrong, just like the occassional flash found on Wilco (The Album) we may see more flashes in the future, but I am no longer going to hold my breath expecting it. This isn't to say I think any less of them as a live band, which they are only getting better in that regard and probably will as long as this lineup stays togther. I just feel like we all might have to come to terms with the fact that for us closing in on 30 or already past it, Wilco may be in for the long tidy stretch of adulthood now. Fewer risks, less chances, you all know what I mean, and if you don't, just listen to Wilco (The Album)...

  5. Bob and Jerry.

     

    also like robert fripp with what's his name?

     

    oh, and the two dudes in television. lloyd and ?.

     

    damn, i can't remember anything right now. been a long day!

     

     

    Dude, how can they be your favorite if you don't know their names? Look at all they do for us, the least we can do is learn their names.

  6. Here is three that I can think of:

     

    Rich Robinson and Marc Ford

    Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson

    Dave Murray and Adrian Smith

     

     

    Very cool and diverse three! I was a bit suprised you left out any ABB combos considering how much you contribute to that thread. Hey, is your avatar photo of Marc Bolan? Cause if it is that makes you three times cooler than push pops, and we all know push pops rock.

  7. I also wanted to say that I find it very cool that for the most part we can not reach a concensus on a top three. I think that is a true mark of being a fan of this band is that we all love them for so many different reasons. Sorry if this a tad whimsical lol.

  8. Ok, but I'm sorry, I can not and will not leave out the Mermaid Ave. albums. I just consider Guthrie and Bragg members of the band for a hot minute. Oh, and many people leave out the album that comes with The Wilco Book. I also think including Kicking Televison isn't really fair, I mean it's kinda like a live greatest hits album.

     

    1) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

    2) Being There

    3) A Ghost Is Born

    4) Mermaid Ave. II

    5) Summerteeth

    6) Mermaid Ave. I

    7) Sky Blue Sky

    8) Am

    9) The Wilco Book

    10) Wilco (The Album)

  9. Wilco taught me so many things about music (like I'm sure is true for many of us). One of the biggest things I learned was how much I love a band with at least two guitarists. So I was just wondering what are some of your favorite guitar duos of all time. I know this is a pretty simple post but I just love to talk music and I am so excited I finally took the time to check out this page. Ok, anywho, my top three are:

     

    1) Mick Taylor, Keith Richards

     

    2) Duane Allman, Dickey Betts

     

    3) Nels Cline, Jeff Tweedy
