  1. 1. Which song do you enjoy more?



Recommended Posts

seems like a totally random choice of songs to pit against eachother. I really really like "Im Always In Love," especially the real uptempo rock version of it, but "Monday" was an early favortie for me and it always makes my night when they play it live, so it gets my nod.

Both of these are tunes that get a little extra volume when I hear them. I love, love, love the version of "I'm Always in Love" in the IATTBYH film. I have a hard time comparing the two, though. If you go w/studio versions, one is a guitar-heavy track and the other is a keyboard-heavy track. Both could be classified as power-pop, for sure, but one's more alt-countryish and the other is more Beatles-ish. I dunno. I'm gonna go with "I'm Always in Love," because it's twice as beautiful in the solo setting.

I agree with that succession entirely. The 2000s-era revamp of I'm Always in Love is the best full-band version of that song, period.

 

The only reason why today's Monday is better than the Monday of yesteryear is that Jay's vocals were ALWAYS too high in the mix - ALWAYS.

There should be an option to choose both. I went with IAIL, but Monday is one of my favorites from the catalog as well. Out of curiosity, why these two?

 

P.S. Do you think the background vocals on IAIL were meant to sound like "smoke pot, smoke pot, smoke pot, smoke pot"? And if this has been addressed in another thread, I'm sure Analogue Man will direct me. ;)

They weren't "meant to sound like," they are. In some instances, they've changed it to "don't smoke pot," "don't smoke," or a few other variations I'm forgetting off-hand. John said in an interview once that it was an homage to the Beatles "hidden lyrics" of yore.

No need to get snarky and quote me. It was an honest question. Thanks for the answer. Sounds like you really know your Wilco. :thumbup

Curious: Has anyone ever done a march madness style wilco song bracket tournament?

 

We could seed the wilco songs in four differnt #1-16 brackets (Live/ Bsides/ Electric/ acoustic????? off the top of my head) and then vote it out.

 

a mammoth concept, of course, i'm just an idea guy, not sure how we could actually pull it off..

That's a damn fine idea. Have at it!

Is quoting considered snarky? I wasn't trying to be.

 

My bad. The quotation gave you answer a passive aggressive tone. I just wanted to know if I was hearing something that was or was not there. No worries, and I am sorry if I misread your intentions.
