Well, actually your post is filled with inaccuracies, but your gusto sure echoes all the lame uber-critical negativity that overwhelms music criticism today, of which you say you dislike. See attached link:

That is actually the review RollingStone gave "Being There" and I remember reading it at the time...it getting the coveted first review and prime billing. You'll notice they actually name drop "No Depression" in the review. This review was actually written by Greg Kot of IATTBYH fame and is informative and well-written. In RollingStone no Wilco record ever received less than 3 and 1/2 stars and Primus' "Pork Soda" received 3 stars actually.

Personally, I find Gret Kot much more annoying (due to an obvious personal bias, which is fine, but shouldn't be presented as objective) than David Fricke in the movie who I think makes some very valid points about consumer culture and evolving (or devolving) musical trends. To my knowledge, no one ever came up with the source of his alleged quote about Wilco being the best band of all time. I can't understand why there's all the hate thrown out at Fricke and RollingStone unless it stems from a "we're cooler than that" attitude.

I'll grant that RollingStone has rightly taken a credibility hit over the last few years due to changing their format (shorter articles for flagging attention spans (hello Fricke)) and always putting the latest scantily clad, movie-star nimphette on the cover, but if you actually look inside the magazine and move beyond the tired littany of "RollingStone sucks man" comments, you'll find some of the best News writing and important political coverage out there right now. I don't think it's a case of all or nothing...but if you look under the cover there are some redeemable parts to the magazine.

The leader of a band called Wilco seems to find something of value in RollingStone. He references one of their articles on the Hotel S n' S recording.

I could keep on going, but I think I'll just leave it at that. Stepping down from my soapbox now.

Thanks for the input. That is a very extensive site and very helpful. I guess, when I compiled the list, I was looking for just a straight songlist: A-Z of every official Tweedy song release (vocal, written, cover, etc.) -- For instance I didn't know what songs, if any, he contributed main vocals to for the Minus 5...such discographies don't really talk about what specific songs he wrote (and some songs he helped write but didn't sing on, which I've excluded)...same with Uncle Tupelo...I wasn't as familiar with which songs were Tweedy's and which songs were Farrar's and the discographies don't really clear that up. That being said...I will definitely use that site to flesh out the list and thanks for your response. Any more advice/suggestions is much apprecited.

Cheers,

So. Not sure if anyone is interested, but this is a little project I've been working on and it's possible there's a list out there already that I haven't come across.

I've been trying to compile a complete list of unique Tweedy song releases, including his many projects: Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Golden Smog, Loose Fur, etc. I've limited the list to primarily studio recordings (including the Demos sets) but it includes live songs officially released (this includes a song like "Comment" but leaves off a song like "Political Science").

I'm going for a comprehensive list so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. There is information that is lacking on the list you will see. What am I missing?

Cheers,

Red

been out since last weekend on oink.

this is definitely a strong album from the man.

a bit heavy with the female vocals tho.

btw, who is the woman crooning alongside oldham?

Sorry for the unabashed grovel, but I don't suppose anyone has an extra Oink invite, just taking up space? Appreciate the consideration, whatever the answer. Cheers.
