Chez Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Much easier than picking my favorite Wilco song. And the loser is . . . Capitol City Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Jesus Etc. is tied with California StarsI'm just tired of hearing them nearly every show. Cali Stars is only ok when there's a guest playing on it, and then it's still kinda boring cos the guest just solos and goes about their night. Both have really predictable chord changes and often times the audience screws up the sing alongs. I'm grumpy about those 2 songs for sure. Conversely, I could never ever ever get tired of ITMWLY.

On any given day it could be Shake It Off, What Light, Leave Me Like You Found Me, or I Thought I Held You. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger Sid Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 On any given day it could be Shake It Off, What Light, Leave Me Like You Found Me, or I Thought I Held You. Agree on Shake It Off. That, along with Walken, are 2 I've never liked. Leave Me Like You Found Me & I Thought I Held You are 2 of my favorite all-time Wilco songs. Mostly for the vibe they put off. And I love the musicianship in the latter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Walken has warmed me a bit when played live. still don't like "Hate It Here." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 You’re playing Jesus Etc wrong if you think that it has really predictable chord changes unlike California Stars being just A-E-D-A. Yes! And the "tall buildings shake" walkdown is so good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Interesting dynamic of "At Least That's What You Said" is while that it is one of my favorite songs by the band I've maybe listened to it in its entirety twice, once out of curiosity and probably the other time due to laziness of not hitting skip. I personally love "Leave Me Like You Found Me". Jesus Etc has always been my pee break song at shows, I don't hate it but its not required listening/viewing. I would say mine is "Shrug and Destroy" or "Kicking Television". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suki Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Less Than You Think in its entirety -- although I do like the first part of it. Jesus etc. was my favorite Wilco song for a long time although I've probably heard it enough now to last a lifetime. The "tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs" line was so evocative of 9/11 to me. And even though it was written before 9/11 it meant more to me than many songs that were written about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That's easy for me, Kicking Television. I don't like punk at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It's tied between: Leave Me Like You Found Me, I Thought I Held You and Can't Stand It I like that someone here loves these songs, like I love some other people's least favs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Jesus Etc. Gobsmacked. And I thought I knew you... I'd probably vote for "Capitol City." I like the ambition, but it doesn't work for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Sorry I know everyone loves it but I don’t like spiders. Kraut-rock (album) version, or acoustic version? Or both? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Gobsmacked. And I thought I knew you... I guess I’m thinking about it from a set list perspective. I’d rather hear a different song. I’d never skip it on the record. Honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I think we need a topic called "Songs You Can't Figure Out Why You Don't Like". Then I would say, "Hell is Chrome". I don't know why. It has wonderful elements but just leaves me unmoved. Please don't all attack at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 For me it has to be ITMWLY. If for no other reason than every time, I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME I've seen the band (since 2002, maybe 20 times) they've played it. I think if it wasn't so ubiquitous I wouldn't feel this way. And, to be fair - I almost never listen to anything past about 2006. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also what song, etc made you a fan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
