nodep5 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Here is how I see it from my perspective. Top spot:Summerteeth/Being There So so many great songs, so so effortless. Sincere, natural energy. Couldn't go wrong. Next rung: YHF/AM Great for certain times/places, but not what I need all of time. AM makes me nostalgic and I appreciate YHF on many levels, but both are a little out of their skin unlike ST/ BT Next rung down: SBS/W(TA) Sprinkles on Ice Cream. These are nice additions but without ice cream what do you have(you get it) Next rung down: AGIB Forced,mixed bag (the only Wilco album that I could see someone flat out saying that they hate. ) I love them all for what it is worth, but don't think they will ever top that mid to late 90's peak.

rwilson580 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 My perspective: AGiB is a great album. And similar enough to YHF that I'm always surprised when someone loves one but not the other. And Summerteeth is anything but effortless, sincere, or natural. But those words work perfectly for Being There. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Their Perfect Record: YHFTheir Perfect "Live" Record: KTTheir Records That Come Extremely Close To Perfection: ST, AGIBTheir Really Good Records: BT, their half of MA1 and MAII, and The Wilco Book Bonus CD.Their "Bill Clinton" (good, but not quite what we expect from a great president or album)-- WTATheir Album with That Awesome "Pick Up The Change" song on it-- AMTheir Album No One Wants To Hear Me Talk About Anymore-- SBS. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody Girl Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 YHFBT/STAGIBAMSBSW(TA) Had a surprisingly tough time choosing between AGIB, AM and SBS (and would probably choose differently if I ranked them again in an hour). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 BTSTYHFWTA/AGIBAMSBS It pains me to rank one of the records in last, and WTA/AGIB is a wash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky speaks Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If I was trying to get someone who hasn't heard Wilco before to give them a listen I would give them the albums in this order...... AMSBSBeing ThereSummerteethKicking TelevisionWTAYHFAGIB So I guess that is how I would rank them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theologians Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Each of the older albums has held the number one spot for me...not so much sbs or wta. Maybe because these came out after I became an obsessed fan. in terms of quality/greatness/genius the order goes like this 1 Summerteeth2 YHF3 Ghost4 Being There...shoud be higher5 WTA6 SBS7 AM...love this album to death Quote Link to post Share on other sites

magcat Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 1. Summerteeth2. Sky Blue Sky3. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot4. Wilco (the album)5. A Ghost is Born6. Being There7. A.M. Too early to say where WTA will end up... it could go up but I doubt if it will go down. A Ghost is Born used to be my least favorite but hearing great versions of numerous songs from it live I came to realize it's the production of the record I dislike, not the songs. (To me it sounds like "Wilco in an Anechoic Chamber" (ironically enough, given the lyrics to "Hummingbird"). Summerteeth will always be their masterpiece to me...

Beltmann Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 YHF is the most important to me--it's the closest to my sensibilities--but BT is right there, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Seconded. I kept wondering if anyone would match me with the latest update. I feel bad for putting the two most recent at the bottom, but hey on the upside I like this one way more than the last one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
