redjim Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 So where should a guy start with Wilco? I got one of their "old-school" albums, A Ghost is Born. I like it quite a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Listen to Summerteeth and Being There. Those are actual "old school" albums, and they're also the best. EDIT: If you like Ghost, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is probably the best next step.

PopTodd Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Start with 2 Uncle Tupelo albums: No Depression (their first) and Anodyne (their last), if you wanna go real old school. That way you can kinda see how Jeff has grown as a songwriter, coming out of something more solidly country. (Although Jay was always more of the traditionalist in that band, still...)

PopTodd Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 AGIB->UT would be a pretty jarring transition.Exactly. But I think that one has a greater appreciation for the band, when you can see where they came from. I love UT, but Jeff has changed his approach as a songwriter and musician so much since those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Exactly. But I think that one has a greater appreciation for the band, when you can see where they came from. Yes. "They rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo." Edit: You're probably going to find all of their albums anyways, so I would say start with Uncle Tupelo if you really wanted to. But you can't forget about A.M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But my method of discovering bands tends to hinge on whatever order I find copies of their albums. So I'm not a strict "start from the beginning" guy. But I do almost always recommend getting to the earliest stuff at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redjim Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Word up. Also back in 03 there was way way way too much talk about cockfighting. It was completely ridiculous. Turned me off right away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Cockfighting??? This wasn't about Jeff talking about the various meaning of the word "cock," was it? Why the hell would members of this board be talking about cockfighting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redjim Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I dont know about the Jeff stuff But yeah, cockfighting. I really dodnt know where or when it started but from what i gathered there was a bunch of ppl on here who lived in the chicago area and a bunch from minneapolis, there was some cockfighting teams from within multiple areas within the cities, talk of road trips to each other's city to fight. Really seemed out of place and strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
