10 Best Wilco Songs on WhatCulture


Recommended Posts

sorry, but I just refuse to scroll through 10 pages of ads.

 

If someone wants to post their list, then I'd be happy to comment. I saw that You Satellite was Number 10...that's a pretty ballsy statement considering the album in only a month old.

The List is as follows:

10. You Satellite

9.   Misunderstood

8.   California Stars

7.   Hummingbird (Soma/Alternate Version)

6.   Magazine Called Sunset

5.   Radio Cure

4.   Spiders (Kidsmoke)

3.   Venus Stop the Train

2.   I am Trying to Break Your Heart

1.   Impossible Germany

 

Only 4 and 5 would translate to my top ten so, to each their own.

No 'Heavy Metal Drummer' or 'Shot In The Arm' - thank goodness.

 

Really interesting list there. The inclusion of Venus Stop The Train is really inspired. By sheer coincidence I was listening to this track on repeat just yesterday - must have been the first time I'd listened to it in a couple of years.

Glad they didn't just choose the obvious tunes.  i don't know if Impossible Germany is Wiclo's "best" song - whatever that means..  I might be able to argue that I Am Trying To Break Your Heart is their "best" song - at least in my listening experience... I'm sure I could argue with myself if I thought about it a bit more.

I rationally know lists ranking artistic output are fatuous, but the heart wants what the heart wants.  So, for what it's worth (absolutely nothing), here is one human's opinion.

10. Box Full of Letters

  9. Spiders (kidsmoke)

  8. Misunderstood

  7. Born Alone

  6. Via Chicago - live version

  5. Poor places

  4. Ashes of American Flags

  3. Impossible Germany

  2. Sunken Treasure

  1. I am trying to break your heart

 

The reasoning behind this list would become dissertation length...but to pigeon hole it: lyrics are good, but so is noise rock
