KramkonG Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 wow...it is creepy in here...it's dark, damp, drafty and it smells like creamed corn and baked potatoes...but DAMN, the music is great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mastershake Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 theologians should not be on that list... that song is underrated if anything and i think more people here hate i'm the man who loves you over heavy metal drummer... i like both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have to say I disagree with a lot of things here.... First off, Hummingbird, IG, Via Chicago and Theoligans are some of my fav Wilco songs. Maybe because a large amount of my Wilco listening is live Wilco. Another thing, what is this assumption of VCers hating A.M.??? A.M. is tremendous stuff, maybe I'm the only one. And What Light is awful Where we agree is in his under rated list, all those tunes (with the exception of Company in my back) are Wilco gems. My personal most overrated Wilco song, I'm the man who loves you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 ^^^^^^Is this the official rankings with which we can now decide whether a song is under/over rated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrinkleintherug Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sure to be an argument starter. A MAGNET writer picks the five most overrated and five most underrated Wilco songs: http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2009/03/03/t...verunder-wilco/ Also recently posted was the in-depth (and somewhat controversial) 2002 MAGNET cover story on Wilco: http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2002/06/01/w...s-and-villains/ wow. that was one of the top five most over-rated articles i have ever read. writing about music is like dancing about art, anyway, so hopefully people don't rely on this swill and the clowns at RS to make their decisions for them. my eyes hurt.

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'd rather talk about the over and underrated songs on your list. I think you put more thought into yours than our pal at Magnet did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barbkm Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I like Heavy Metal Drummer -- it just makes me happy. And I may be out of the loop, but don't know Bon Iver. And I do like Sun Volt -- I just can't listen to an album all the way through cos his voice annoys me after awhile. (Same thing with the White Stripes -- I like, uyt after awhile his voice gets to me, too.) Oh well, everyone's entitled to his opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bhickman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 that Magnet article is pretty funny. I don't get the Via Chicago hate re: the vocal, but hey, everyone's entitled to their opinions. I loved the quick summation of "What Light" as "What Crap". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've always had a problem with "Radio Cure". Its the one song on that album I consistently skip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BassMan77 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Theologians is one of my favorite Wilco songs. I dont know why its in the overrated category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have seen on tv all of the overrated ones except Via Chicago. So maybe that is the criteria to be overrated. Except when they do underrated, they talk about songs that "real" Wilco fans don't like (yet I've seen HMD & Box Full of Letters on tv). They're criteria is all fucked up. I should just stop coming back to this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
