This was a fantastic thread! I just recently (finally) got my hands on the whole Wilco discography and listened to them in chronological order while reading the reviews. Very impressive. And I have to say that Wilco are such an amazing band....can't believe I've been missing out all this time!!!
Definatly up there in my favorite artists by far. I loved A.M. and Summerteeth. Some of the best lyrics I've heard in such a long time. As much as I love the alternative country genre, I think the mix of some experimental and psychedelic influences in their sound progressively throughout their albums really did it for them. I also really enjoyed some of the longer instrumentals such as "Impossible Germany".
Thank you for some insightful and interesting information on the band's background and albums. The reviews complimented my listening experience
Now I have to give their latest album a go. I'm very excited.
