rwilson580 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Did I miss an earlier posting of this? 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...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Nice list...amazing that they have so many great songs already...sometimes we take it for granted....Pot Kettle Black...I's a Wheel...many others not on list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every Little Thing Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I found the list to be pretty accurate, although I would definitely put She's a Jar and Impossible Germany in the top 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody Girl Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 How did they not include Sunken Treasure? But I definitely agree on the top 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It looks like 30 songs picked out of a hat. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Agreed. Same theory could be applied to their choice of "best lyrics" from a song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 To reflect my mood today? AGIB + Being There, minus Sesame Street "Outtasite." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
