This was way too difficult. On second thought, I refuse to participate and will only go as far as saying my two least favorite Wilco selections are It's Just that Simple and We're Just Friends!

AM: Box Full of Letters (might be Casino Queen but it's been overplayed at casa jhc) > Should've Been in Love

 

Being There: Dreamer in My Dreams (see above re: Monday) > since I've learned to love Hotel Arizona, can't think of one

 

Summerteeth: How To Fight Lonliness > We're Just Friends (worst Wilco song ever, followed by My Darling)

 

YHF: Poor Places > Radio Cure (not a bad song, but have to be really relaxed to be able to sit through the first few minutes)

 

AGIB: ALTWYS > I'm a Wheel

It was actually meant as a joke. I take it you're not a Colbert fan, are ya?

 

Trust me, I'm not gonna insult someone's choice of fav/least fav Wilco tunes: it was hard enough picking the "least favs" of the group. The fact that you're here and I'm here shows we have something in common with our musical taste, right?

 

:cheers

 

Having Wilco in common is enough for me. You're right, it was very tough picking some of these. It's been on my mind, that's why I began the thread.

Outtamind (Sesame Street Version)

Am I the only person who always smiles whenever I hear this? I'm a sucker for some sleigh bells. And, judging from this, a simpleton.

 

AM - don't have it. I know the ones I like from live shows, but have not heard all to choose a least favourite. This is intentional. To buy it now would be to admit an addiction.

Far, Far Away

Unwelcome Guest (that's a tough call)

How To Fight Loneliness

Airline to Heaven

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (obvious, but no less affecting every time I hear it)

Muzzle Of Bees

ST: A Shot in the Arm/When You Wake Up Feeling Old

MAII: Secret of the Sea/Joe DiMaggio Done It Again

That was tough. I'm sure people still like their least favorite pick but it still stings a little to say "least favorite."

 

I can't believe all the "Why Would You Want To Live" least favorites. I dig that tune.

 

Only reason "Joe DiMaggio..." gets a least vote is because he's a Yankee. Couldn't Guthrie write a Ted Williams song?!?

Honestly, I could say that about all mine except for "Jesus, Etc." I know it's one of the most beloved Wilco songs ever, but I can't stand it. Whenever I hear it live, it's got to be the worst 4 minutes of any Wilco concert for me.
