Best album?


Hi i am interested in Wilco what would you say is their best album and maybe some good singles, thanks

reply

i think their most accesible album is summerteeth, but their best album is definately yankee hotel foxtrot, it's just so cohesive and unique, i love it. also a ghost is born is great. i'm not sure about singles but some great songs that will get you into wilco are theologians, hummingbird, kamera, jesus etc, i'm always in love, she's a jar, wishful thinking and poor places. my fav song of theirs is pot kettle black.

(hope this helps)

I believe that Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are their two best albums, by far. Don't buy A Ghost is Born first, because it is an acquired taste.

Ever album is good. It's so hard to choose. um maybe you should start with some uncle tupelo (His first Band w/ Jay Farrar). Start from there, get the anthology collection. Then you can branch out from there to 2 great bands Jeffy Tweedy's - Wilco and Jay Farrar's - Son Volt.

if you like those move on to

AM - which is sort of a contunitation of Uncle Tupelo.
Being there - When Wilco really starts
SummerTeeth - totally new sound for the band
Yankee Fox Trot Hotel - Instant Classic
A Ghost is born - Another strong album
Sky Blue Sky - Best album to date.

Hope this Helps

It's not a "Wilco" album per se, but it has more of the original band in it than the last three albums. Anodyne has Jay Farrar writing a little more than half the songs and Tweedy writing and singing lead on the other half. That album changed my whole perspective on music, and got me to love an entirely new genre I call "Americana". I wish they had made a couple of more like this one before they went their separate ways.

A Ghost is Born is my favorite but it's also their most experimental.
