Ok---Being There...


Recommended Posts

If you would whittle this record down to 1 disc. What would be your tracklisting?

 

 

Edit: One disc = 11 tracks.

I'd say if you're going to pose this, do so on a time basis -- say fitting 45:00 onto a single disk. DOMD would be equal to 2 other songs, for instance.

I'd probably keep the entirety of Disc 1 save for What's The World Got In Store and Hotel Arizona. Then add in Sunken Treasure, Someone Else's Song (it's weaker, but thematically important), and the Lonely 1 from the second disc.

Side A

1. Misunderstood

2. What's the World Got in Store

3. Outta Site Outta Mind

4. Monday

5. Dreamer in My Dreams

Side B

6. Hotel Arizona

7. Far Far Away

8. Red-Eyed and Blue

9. I Got You

10. The Lonely One

11. Sunken Treasure

Decent choices, but you'd really end the album on a lull. I think you've got to end it with DIMD. Open side B with Sunken Treasure.

I would be tempted to throw Hotel Arizona on side one but there's no place to place it to balance the tempo of songs preceding/following.

The only clunkers on the album are "(Was I) In Your Dreams" and "Why Would You Wanna Live".

 

Those are two songs that they probably could have left off IMO, but it's not like I skip over them or anything. I think Jeff was just pretty pilled up when he wrote/recorded them.

 

It's impossible to say which Wilco album is my favorite, but I'd say I've listened to Being There the most out of all of them.

I cry on the inside.

 

Seriously, everyone stop this and go listen to Hotel Arizona on headphones real loud. You will change your mind

 

agreed. Hotel Arizona is one of my favorite wilco songs

Two of my faves on the record. Say You Miss Me is the only song I could do without and I would also take off The Lonely 1 as long as I still got to hear it at solo shows.
