kidsmoke Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I was musing about how a future KTEL type marketer might package a Wilco "Best of" album, and wondered what songs I'd choose if I had to choose just one song from each of their official releases...one song from each album. Some picks are (almost) obvious, because Good God how could a "The Best of Wilco" by Ronco not include I'm the Man Who Loves You? (Though it kills me to eliminate others from that album!) So, be brave, let's see what you'd compile if this were handed to you as a work assignment. One song, each official album released. Mermaid Avenue included. What goes on THE BEST OF WILCO! Whaddya think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 It's harder than you think it's going to be, isn't it?! And really folks, you have to include ITMWLY. Trying to sequence this oddball collection would also be interesting...you'd need a powerhouse opening song, a good closing song, and reasonable pacing amongst the rockers and the ballads. Love the love for Secret of the Sea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
