I can't tell you how refreshing that is to hear. I'm not the only one that landed on that side of the divide afterall. I really like both, all of the bands a lot though.

I've heard good things about Wilco, but they sound like just another alt/rock band to me- at least from the few songs I've heard.

In my opinion, Wilco is one of the greatest indie/rock groups to come out of the last twenty years. Each new album, starting with A.M. right up until their new self-titled album, demonstrates the growth of the groups core members (Jeff Tweedy in particular) as well as the fresh perspective each new member in the ever-changing lineup brings to the table. It's really been an astounding transformation to behold over the years, especially considering Uncle Tupelo co-pilot, Jay Farrar's group Son Volt has remained pretty firmly rooted in the same backwoods, country rock territory.

Additionally, I've become surprised at the general lack of exposure the group's recieved over the last decade. Granted, some of that has been self-imposed, and I'm seeing more and more young people catch on. But the majority of die-hard Wilco fans aren't of the younger demographic.

They're definitely one of those groups that I always seem to have playing in the background at some point during the day.

Thread merged, pleeeease search before making a thread.

Duly noted.

Sorry, lot's of thread pages to sift through. I did'nt know they merged. Thought it would be easier to revive it by creating a new one rather than searching for an old one.

Making a compilation of Wilco songs for my housemate who dosn't see what the fuss is. in the heated argument that followed a friendship was badly damaged due to his ignorance of dismissing a band he's never given more than a cursory listen to( and that was Sky Blue Sky at that). As an attempt to bridge this chasm that has formed between us,I'm making a Wilco compilation for him to show him the error of his Wilco-ignoring ways. Any suggestions?
Thus far I'm including:
Misunderstood
Can't Stand It
Via Chicago
Heavy Metal Drummer
Jesus Etc
Spiders(Kidsmoke)
Impossible Germany
Company In My Back
Bull Black Nova
I'll Fight
You And I
Dreamer in My Dreams
Handshake Drugs
Kamera
Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway (Again)
I Got You At The End Of The Century.
