nalafej Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yesterday, looking for an pandemic activity, 3 Wilco fans and I drafted and created a 10 song album of Wilco (+Mermaid) originals. Your vote matters. Who did it best? Also, what song would be your first pick? Mods, feel free to delete if this is too far off brand for 'Just a Fan' Album A Side 1:MisunderstoodYou Are My FaceWar on WarI'm Always in LoveImpossible GermanyAlbum A Side 2:Airline to HeavenPassenger SideHell is ChromeThe Late GreatsBob Dylan's Beard Album B Side 1:I Am Trying to Break Your HeartHate it HereVia ChicagoForget the FlowersToo Far ApartAlbum B Side 2:HummingbirdRemember the Mountain BedMondayJesus, EtcReservations Album C Side 1:One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)Poor PlacesSpiders (Kidsmoke)Side with the SeedsTheologiansAlbum C Side 2:Box Full of LettersWhat's the World Got in StoreAshes of American FlagsOne by OneA Shot in the Arm Album D Side 1:Random Name GeneratorI'm the Man Who Loves YouNothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)California StarsHandshake DrugsAlbum D Side 2:Hotel ArizonaSunken TreasureArt of AlmostHow to Fight LonelinessAt Least That's What You Said Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Album A reads as the best album to me (or really, playlist that flows) although there are a number of songs on the others I like better than a couple of the picks on A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson580 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 My personal favorite would have to be Album C. Side 1 is killer... all five songs are desert island contenders for me. There’s an inevitable drop off on Side 2, but with Ashes and Shot that’s a solid 7 for 10. Album B is pretty top heavy. 3 or 4 of the band’s greatest, most iconic songs. But somehow Hate It Here finds a home? Sorry. Impossible Germany is near the top of my personal list. Not too many other favorites on A’s album though. Kudos to D for snagging ALTWYS. There are several other personal favorites on that album, but not quite enough to push it above C Level. (See what I did there?) I’d probably draft IATTBYH first. Not necessarily my favorite, but a hellacious anchor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brucebanner Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Album A for me, can't go wrong with Misunderstood as an opener, I like IG to close out side A. Airline opening Side B is a good choice, kind of taking it into an acoustic direction (exception Hell is Chrome), then closing it out with Late Greats / Bob Dylan's Beard (maybe as a hidden track?)
