big bob Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yankee Hotel FoxtrotA Ghost is BornThe Whole Love*SummerteethSky Blue Sky *hard to place The Whole Love because its still very fresh to me. i never really got into A.M., or Being There, or Wilco (The Album). I really love Loose Fur, especially Born Again in the USA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not a bad list, but excluding Being There gets you a failing grade. But then again, excluding Wilco (The Album) gives you extra credit so you pass. Welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 wow, i thought this board had stopped attracting new people. Welcome. And Lamrod's right about Being There, but not sure that one should get extra credit for liking (the phone in). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 He gets extra credit for not liking WTA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He gets extra credit for not liking WTA. oops. yes i knew that but accidentally omitted the word "not." i don't rate said record either, but think it's bad karma to give someone extra credit for negativity. anyway, A.M. is fantastic.

mpolak21 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Welcome to VC! Any Loose Fur fan is all right with me. My favorite two records Tweedy has been involved with are Summerteeth and the self-titled Loose Fur record (YHF is a close third). --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know, just messin around. A.M. is good, but I never really got that into it either. But Passenger Side alone makes the album a winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big bob Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I admit that i never really bothered much with A.M. or Being There. I listened to them a few time and they seemed like straightforward songs that didn't pull me in. (not that there's anything wrong with a nice simple song) i owe those records a revisit, though.

Beltmann Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i owe those records a revisit, though.Sometimes that works. I share your enthusiasm for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot--it's my favorite, too--but Being There is next on my list. Welcome to the board, by the way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Welcome, Bob.However, my favorite Wilco albums are probably Summerteeth and Being There, so you and I are gonna have to have it out, buddy! Oh, and have you heard any Peter Laughner? (Jeff lifted the line "Take the guitar player for a ride" from him. And he is brilliant.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big bob Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 i have not heard Laughner. ill check him out! i am in love with every album that i listed, including summerteeth...its so hard to put them in an order from favorite to least favorite when they are all so great.
