Calexico Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ...the album given to me by a friend who bought it and didn't like it, so I got it for free. Yay me! I hope he was happy with the Longpigs album I gave him in return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ...made me realize how special this band truly was, and really inspired me as a musician. I will never forget the first I put the disc in player and I heard the opening of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart". This album was also the topic in one of the first conversations my wife and I ever had when we met 5 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ...helped my wife and I get through the fallout of 9/11, thanks to Wilco generously streaming the album at their website not long after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I bought knowing nothing about it or Wilco, but because the cover looked cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.miller Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Made me feel alive and made sense of the world around me and how much really happens in the spaces between what you see happening -- make sense? I also feel like someone has something wrong with them if they can't "get" or don't "understand" YHF. It is epic. It is experimental. It is original. It is timeless. It may very well be the artistic peak of this wonderful band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unposed_question Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ......drew me in literally from the first musical notes. ......made me become a Wilco fanatic after being an REM fanatic for 15 years. ......restored my faith in rock and roll. ......introduced me to Jesus, etc., my favorite song since So.

phish907 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Wasn't as groundbreaking to me as everyone thought,although I loved it from the first spin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phish907 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 got it in 2002, but it took me until 2004 to come fully around to it and fall in love with it (and the band). now, it's one of my favorite albums and Wilco is probably my secnod favorite musical artist. after all this time, the only thing that has changed is that i really don't like "Heavy Metal Drummer." every other songs stirs my soul, but that one does nothing for me... -justin I always skip over HMD, love the cd, just don't see its place on it!!

unposed_question Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I always skip over HMD, love the cd, just don't see its place on it!! Oh phish, I think you are missing out. Remember this was when Glenn first joined the band,so I always think of this as Jeff's homage to Glenn, even if it was written before he joined or bysomeone else.

Remember this was when Glenn first joined the band,so I always think of this as Jeff's homage to Glenn, even if it was written before he joined or bysomeone else. Being a huge fan I have tried many times to get with it. It even reminds me of growing up. I am around the age of Jeff, so I feel I can relate to where he is coming from with the lyrics, I just don't like the tune and it is always an excuse to go the bathroom when its played live. With that being said my daughter has always loved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 was a demarkation point between my pal Dancin' Joe and myself over Wilco... He was really tied in...He got me a copy in the early part of August. (The CD was (mis)titled Yankee Foxtrot Hotel... He described it as more of 'that Tweedy and Bennet noise stuff' and I heard it as being sublime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
