Some of my non-Wilco loving friends were actually sad that I took down What Light from my MySpace...soooooooooooo cool!!! :D

If they gave us more of a choice over there, I'd put something else up. What Light is beautiful but overplayed to me already.

 

So I've settled for Heavy Metal Drummer for now...that kicks butt!!!

You swapped the current holder of the title of "most despised Wilco song" for the previous one. :lol

:cheekkiss Nothing wrong with it ... I like both songs. But they do tend to evoke negative reactions among certain factions...

I, for one, cannot find a single thing wrong with "Heavy Metal Drummer." I find myself singing it constantly. Very catchy and rhythmic, but at the same time experimental and unique. I think it's an excellent song.

 

I haven't yet heard "What Light." I'm still working my way through each successive record.

K, just to explain my love :wub of HMD...you need to know that I heard it many, many times LIVE before ever hearing the actual recorded version. And to me live ANYTHING always wins out!!! :rock Not to mention the fact, that one of the versions where Jeff sings "playing Kiss covers" he threw in about 30 additional bands i.e The Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo, etc. and he was actually sort of laughing and having fun it was nice :D

worshipper, no need to explain. it's a great song. definitely no love lost on my end, and if you genuinely like it, you shouldn't feel the need to justify it to anybody else.

Heavy Metal Drummer is one of the better sing along songs of the Wilco catalog, although I'm not sure if "oooooooooo .... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" qualifes as sing along.

 

It's one of Wilco's song that I prefer Jeff doing solo rather than the band performing it, especially when he namechecks other artists.

 

Other songs I prefer solo over the band:

 

How To Fight Loneliness

In A Future Age

Candyfloss

Reservations

The Late Greats

Sky Blue Sky (or Lullaby For Rafters and Beams)
