jethro Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Considering Walken (a.k.a Best Song Ever) isn't on the list...If I didn't understand English then I'd probably really like Walken too. I voted What Light for best (it's the only song I've heard so far that I wouldn't change anything about it) but ranked they'd go something like: What LightImpossible Germany Is That The Thanks I GetWalken Either WayWe Can Make It Better!Let's Fight On & On & On I know Is That The Thanks I Get and We Can Make It Better! are nominally the same song but I'm hoping Jeff comes to his senses and gets rid of the fluffy feel good tack on bit so it can join the good songs on the list.

lovenmercy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I love Impossible Germany. It is lyrically beautiful and has kickin' solos. Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 All the new ones sounded great on Sunday, but What Light's lyrics put in number 1 for me. Link to post Share on other sites
random painted highway Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 It's hard not to give it to "Imposible Germany", but I'd have to go with "Walken". It's a pre-Summerteeth song that's probably 10 times better than most pre-Summerteeth songs, methinks. Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 on & on & On isnt on the list above to vote..Ditto. Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Not much to choose from here. It was like voting for president. I'm just trying to pick the least bad song. I'm hopeful however that the songs will benefit from some studio time. Edit: Oh, I also am hopeful that hearing them live in Chicago will bring something new to my experience.

mascis Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 WALKEN IS ROCKIN'!....I always want to replace "Bud Light" into the lyrics of What Light. Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I am finding I have a dislike for what weve heard of "Let's Fight", which is weird cause I have really enjoyed everything else that come up."What Light" is boardering on mixtape classic already. And I wasn't alone in thinking Impossible Germany is tops. What I wonder is did "On & ON" and "Either Way" get discarded by the band or did they just put them away to save them for the record after playing them a couple times?

wheelco Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 for reasons abundantly clear, I did not vote for On & On & On & On Link to post Share on other sites
theDoctorb Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Walken is my favorite of the new stuff ... but from the list I'd say Impossible Germany, it's constantly running through my head during the day. Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 for reasons abundantly clear, I did not vote for On & On & On & On For reasons abundantly clear, On & On & On didn't even make the poll. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think either where discarded, what Wilco has done in the past with new songs is played them for a run of shows and then rotated them in and out of the setlist until the album was completed. Walken, At Least That's What You Said, some of the earlier stuff are exceptions to this rule, but I don't think they've been retired. Whether or not they end up on the album is anyone's guess at this point. --Mike Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 If I didn't understand English then I'd probably really like Walken too. And so you voted for - ahem - What Light instead. Hmm. "If you're trying to paint a picturebut you're not sure which colours belongjust paint what you feeldon't let anyone say its wrong" Also, the line "Don't let anyone change your bag" is hilarious.
