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

Seconded. I love that song!

 

the verses are great for headbanging to a song that isnt a metal tune.

 

starting from late 2001, the song came to its own with a new dimension when they started playing often again. pity its vanieshed now and there doesnt seem to be a recording of the paris 2004 show

I'm shocked at all the responses regarding It's Just That Simple. That is such a great song, one of the best on that album. It would've been very cool to see what Wilco would have sounded like with a co-songwriter in John Stirratt.

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 say that about all the songs on my list, except for "We're Just Friends." That one can go.

Huh. Guess I never put my two cents in on this one.

 

I did this quickly so as not to overanalyze. The only difficulties I encountered were that I don't really have a least favorite song on YHF, and I don't really have a favorite song on AGIB. And I imagine I'll catch hell from a few people for my dissing of "Bull Black Nova," but I really have no use for it.

 

AM: Should've Been In Love > Dash 7

BT: Say You Miss Me > Kingpin

ST: Via Chicago > My Darling

YHF: Pot Kettle Black > Heavy Metal Drummer

AGIB: Muzzle of Bees > I'm A Wheel

SBS: You Are My Face > What Light

W(TA): One Wing > Bull Black Nova

 

MA1: Hesitating Beauty > Hoodoo Voodoo

MA2: Airline To Heaven > Joe DiMaggio Done It Again
