But you misunderstood (heh) me absolutely completely... lost highway's post put it probably way more eloquently than I can put it, so I won't type a long reply, but you are expressing sentiments on a single song within a double album... Misunderstood, Sunken Treasure, some tunes off Summerteeth... it was Wilco's demonstration of breaking new ground, sure, but when YHF was released, the game changed. That is an entire album that redefined the music industry on an incredibly poignant front. I just cannot compare that to Being There. Sorry to make your head spin, I'd offer Advil if I were over

I think I disagree that there are more genres represented on Being There. The difference between some later Wilco albums and Being There is the incorporation of different stylizations within the songs themselves. By listening to a single song (post Being There), you're able to absorb a huge spectrum of textures and ideas and concepts from a plethora of different styles and genres of music. Monday, Outtasite Outtamind, Misunderstood, Far Far Away, I Got You, Kingpin, Lonely 1, and one of my absolute all-time favorite Wilco songs, What's the World Got In Store - absolute classics. So good.

1. A Ghost Is Born 2. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 3. The Whole Love 4. Sky Blue Sky 5. Wilco The Album 6. Summerteeth (very interchangeable with A.M.) 7. A.M. 8. Being There You can kinda tell which Wilco I like best... I have honestly spent the least amount of time with Being There than any of their other albums, because it isn't exactly my cup of tea. A double album of a genre I'm not too crazy about seems like a chore most of the times. That's my justification, sorry. Ps. +1 to those who think GIB is an amazingly produced album - it is completely masterful in every way. Muzzle of Bees ha

Love the Bon reference. I know what you mean. The lyrics to Dawned On Me were pretty easy to figure out! Dawned On Me I've been young, I've been old I've been hurt and consoled Heart of cold, heart of gold So I'm told I've been lost, I've been found I've been taken by the sound Of my own voice And the voices in my head I can't help it if I fall In love with you again, I'm calling Just to let you know it dawned on me Every night, is a test To the east, further west The sun rises and sets As a sun At its best I forget that I know I regret letting you go Sometimes, I can't belie

Me neither... me neither. Got any specific Leroy moments? Because I think this is purely, 100% Mikael's flavour, especially from the Wilco B sides. ie Diamond Claw, One True Vine, Panthers, Rottnest... so distinctively Mikael and so pretty. The guitar in One Sunday also reminds me of the guitar from Diamond Claw.

I made that comparison, Kalle (; Why would anyone compare that? Because structurally and conceptually they are extremely similar songs. They give off the same vibe for me, too. Very strict verse chorus verse structure, very chord based, the guitars and keyboards are very blankety and work as accents for the vocal melody rather than as structurally integral riffs or chords... comparisons between songs don't rely solely on how they "sound".

I want in on this discussion! New here, been a HUGE Wilco fan for a year. Listened to them nonstop for literally the past year. I love this album. +1 on the Mikael comment, the piano in Sunday Morning is sublime - so pretty, so beautiful, so breathtaking. Sounds like stuff off of the Wilco Book. Why does nobody like Born Alone? One of my favorites from the album, no doubt. Rising Red Lung sounds like a cross between Chinese Apple and Solitaire - sooooo good. But really, the MVP here has got to be Sunday Morning. Such an intimately emotional, chilling, and sad song - one of the mo
