radiokills Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 i dont think any of the songs on YHF are overrated, except maybe HMD. but the majority of wilco songs are great, so it doesnt really matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewR Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I can't believe how many people hate HMD. That was the song that introduced me to wilco. I guess that is why I like it...I have that special connection with it. I'm glad to see that a lot of summerteeth songs are seen as underrated. Summerteeth and YHF are probably my two favorite wilco albums. But I do appreciate a.m. and being there, even though i caught on to wilco late...I mean wilco is almost as old as I am(well I am 5 years older than it is . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cars_cant_escape Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm new to this board...but here's my 2 cents. Underrated- wishful thinking (my absolute favorite), poor places, less than you thinkOverrated- Spiders (i love the outro jam live, but kind of bores me on the record) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cooperissup3r Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 company in my back is underrated. i love the song but no one ever really talks much about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Underrated: Don't You Honey Me. People rag on the lyrics as simple but I think that's why I like it. I like the sing-songy/nursey rhyme/innocence angle to it. Just a nice little tune. The solo version JT does of I'm Always In Love. Probably my favorite single Wilco-associated piece of music. It's just got a magical quality to it for some reason for me. Like a long ago dream or something. Won't Let You Down. Again, simple lyrics but just a great little rhythm/rock vibe to it.

cooperissup3r Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 oo ooo Should've Been In Love...underrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitty Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Under: Company In My Back, Why Would You Wanna Live Nothing jumps out at me as an overrated song right this instant... Glenn should get a medal or something for the drums on "Company In My Back". Beautiful feel to that song- funky without slapping you upside the head and announcing it.

Lazy Locomotive Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Whats the world got in store is pretty underrated.. never gets much mention here Totally agree. The banjo is so freaking amazing in that song. Easily the most overrated song: California Stars. It drives me nuts when Wilco plays it live to please the masses.Most underrated song (currently) On and On and On. I might be the only one, but I think this is the best track on SBS.

badger Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've been listening to A.M. a lot recently and truly believe that apart from a couple of tracks it's absolutlely killer - I Thought I Held You, Dash 7, Box Full of Letters, Should've Been in Love and Pick up the Change in particular. In A Future Age is a forgotten classic. As far as overrated songs go, I think that most of those mentioned here were indeed less impressive on record than they have become live. Misunderstood is a classic example. I very rarely listen to Shot in the Arm these days, but I would be mighty disappointed if it didn't make the set list (Wilco's most played song?).

magusmachine Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Underrated: Won't Let You Down. Again, simple lyrics but just a great little rhythm/rock vibe to it. Agree so much. I want another version of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
