kimcatch22 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I have never ranked them. It is a difficult endeavor. at this exact moment in time, here's my answer:Kicking Television (because it a retrospective type-thing)SummerteethYankee Hotel FoxtrotBeing ThereMermaid Avenue/Mermaid Avenue 2 (I see it as one album, even though it isn't)AM Sky Blue SkyA Ghost Is BornMermaid Avenue 2 The above list is complete bullshit. I disown it. For me, it honestly can't be done. If I had the proverbial gun to my head, I'd just say albums because their is no way the coercer could know if it's bullshit or not. I honestly see all of the albums as equally stellar. It is a lateral difference to me, not a hierarchical one. This isn't a cop out. This is sincerely how i view the Wilco canon :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes Absolutely wrong, not matter how sincere you are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 "reading comprehension"I understand the words above but not the context. I'll stop with my silliness about an algorithm to solve the unsolvable and just be literal. I disagree with you about me being wrong because it is a subjective question. There is no correct way to rank Wilco's albums other than being correct to the induvidual ranker. Damn. It is a lot more fun joking around than being serious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a statement, request, command. Can't I ever do anything right? Whoa, I sound like Charlie Brown. If nothing else I played a role in bringing you out of your self-imposed ban.
