Paste's 30 Best Wilco Songs

 

My real time reaction...

 

She's a Jar...30?...already I'm concerned. Definitely top 10 for me.

Hate it Here...one of the few I can clearly say is NOT a favorite.

Gack. Wilco (the Song). Another rare non-favorite.

Casino Queen. Ok, I get it. AM was the real Wilco for some people. Not my favorite Wilco, not my favorite song on that album.

Handshake Drugs. Great song. A lot higher than 26 for me.

Theologians. Also great. Not too many lesser songs on AGIB. Again, higher than 25 I suspect for me.

Ok with the next couple.

Impossible Germany...22...that's a top 5 for me.

I Must Be High at 21...still not my favorite Wilco.

20...Ashes...top 10 for me.

Ok with the next couple.

Yikes. Poor Places at 17. Top 5.

I Got You. One of my least favorite Being There songs.

ALTWYS. Probably around 15 for me too.

No problem with the next few, although they'd have to drop a little on my list.

I like Spiders at 10, many will not.

Can't do Passenger Side at 8.

The rest of the top 10 are all great...except for Heavy Metal Drummer. I'm probably liking it more as the years go by, but the standards for a Wilco top 10 are SO high.

 

So my list would look a lot different. If they'd replace HMD with Poor Places at least their top 10 (er...6 or 7) would look pretty good. I miss Pot Kettle Black, Muzzle of Bees, Far Far Away, Sunken Treasure, You Are My Face, Side With the Seeds......

I don't have any problems with this list. I might slightly reorder things and replace a couple songs -- but it's a pretty good representation of what makes Wilco great.

 

I think they did a pretty good job, too. I would probably replace Wilco (The Song), Casino Queen and HMD with Hotel Arizona, Pot Kettle Black and Hell is Chrome.
