Both of those songs have a strong backbeat, something your always finding in rock. The singing sounds nothing like a country song. I hear no relation to Johnny Cash. Getting hung up on the acoustics again are we? Well since you keep bringing that up, what about this?

Nearly EVERY genre has a strong backbeat, it's not something you'll find only in rock. Vocalization is hardly a genre-strict thing anyway. Unless you're going to start running around claiming Southern Rock is country because of the accent. You've proved nothing about it being a rock song you've just pointed out two obviously things and tried to pin them down as genre descriptions.

Acoustic guitars are a very dominant thing in country music its what all those guys like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash played you know. I'd consider it an element of roots music because most folk artists just use an acoustic guitar and Wilco are extremely rootsy. They're slowed down and have plenty of elements of roots music, more so than they do rock elements and country music is roots music so...

The violins aren't even that prominent in that song. Since when have violins been an instrument of choice in country? I agree it has a rooty sound to it, but it's not country.

I just said violins weren't very common in rock music not that they were a country element. Weren't you just bitching about my reading comprehension?

Maybe you should type up a definition of rock music, country music, alt-country, and alt-country rock because you seem to have different definitions for the genres then I've ever heard before. For instance I didn't know how someone sings was something to classify them on genre-wise. So it would be of a great help if you could just explain these genres to me since I'm so stupid compared to you oh great one.

Fuck I'm not even going to bother. You think Wilco isn't country because Jeff Tweedy doesn't have a southern accent and they have drums. I think we know who the real idiot is here.

Oh that's definitely going to get you somewhere. I'm still the mod here as you pointed out and I'm not going to move this thread just because Wilco have a strong backbeat. Case closed.

Wilco has elements of Country and Rock. Does it matter which one it's in? Just give Don what he wants Ethan, it can't hurt.

ProggyMan · 05-13-2008, 10:06 PM

I have an older account, and I've seen plenty of Don posts and you called sleepy jack fire drill Crowquill. Suspicious, mmm?

As to Wilco, what's wrong with a forum that nobody goes to having a thread on a band with elements of that genre? I don't see why it's so important.

Seems to me that Country fans make up Wilco's main fanbase.

1. You act like him. Different taste, but personality is the same.
2. You did. You wouldn't be used to calling him that. Not that I really care. If you are, welcome back, if not...

**sleepy jack** · 05-13-2008, 10:35 PM

I'm not moving it bigger Wilco fans have had 0 problem with it being here, I have 0 problem with it being here and finally Wilco's drumming isn't going to be the decider for what genre they are. End of discussion.
