Wilcoworld Radio on ... now

Cline is amazing, but that's Tweedy tearing it up on At Least That's What You Said. I've only seen them play it once in the nine concerts I've been to.

 

Wow, you're right. Didn't think he could play like that.

 

I think the most accessible Wilco song remains the Sesame Street version of Outtasite. Just a good catchy rock song.

I like Wilco a bunch, but they're not the kind of band where I can just play one of their albums front to back and be happy. I have to pick and choose tracks. They put out some truly unlistenable shit.

Radiohead peaked with OK Computer. Nobody can argue otherwise and really mean it.

 

I'm going to start a podcast called Dad Rock Internet Fighting.

 

They've got nothing on Radiohead and Ryan Adams* when it comes to unlistenable shit.

*Unlike Radiohead, though, some of his stuff is REALLY good.

 

I unapologetically love the self-titled album that most people (fans?) think is boring.

 

I like after the 2:20 mark. The lyrics are godawful but the jamming is pretty great.

 

Some of Wilco's lyrics are not good -- it's the main reason I do not enjoy YHF as much as most fans -- but Radiohead wrote an entire album by literally picking random thoughts and making "songs" out of them.

I'm not putting Tweedy on any list of my favorite lyricists despite my appreciation for the path he has taken as an artist.

Who are your favorite lyrics folks?

Wilco the Album has grown on me. The middle portion of the album — One Wing, Bull Black Nova, You and I (yes, even that one), You Never Know and Country Disappeared — is a great stretch of rock, whether you're sporting a Dad Bod or not.

 

You and I is awesome. Feist's best collaboration outside of "1,2,3,4" on Sesame Street.

Odd that SS has been mentioned twice on this thread.

 

Frank Turner
Joe Pernice, though he hasn't done much lately
Butch Walker
Jason Isbell
Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys)

 

Love Turner. He had been opening for Isbell. Saw their show about a year and a half ago.

Ray Wylie Hubbard is my new songwriting crush.
