My Wilco list:

 

1. Summerteeth

2. Being There

3. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (when it first came out I thought it was their best CD, but I don't listen to it now nearly as much as I do Summerteeth and Being There.)

4. A Ghost is Born (I didn't like it as much as their other CDs upon first listen, but, like has already been pointed out, after hearing the songs in concert, I got more into it.)

5. Kicking Television (Wilco's really, really good live. Like...really good.)

6. A.M.

 

Townes Van Zandt (focusing not on reissues and compiliations. I will only be satisfied after everyone listens to and appreciates the genius of Townes Van Zandt.)

 

1. Live at the Old Quarter

2. Our Mother the Mountain

3. For the Sake of the Song

4. The Late, Great Townes Van Zandt

5. Townes Van Zandt

6. Delta Momma Blues

 

New Kids on the Block (I defy anyone to disagree.)

 

1. Hangin' Tough

2. Step by Step

Acid Bath

 

01. When the kite strings pop

02. Peagen Terrorism Tactics

 

Heeeeey, Acid Bath. Man, I could tell some ridiculous Dax Riggs stories. He used to live by me. He invited my brother over to his to eat spaghetti one nite. He tried to give himself oral sex in the backseat of my cousin's Honda. One of my friend's brothers was in Deadboy and the Elephantmen with Dax up until about a year ago when Dax kicked everybody in the band out so he could let the chick he was bangin' in the band. Yeah, but as far as the two Acid Bath CDs, When the Kite String Pops is better than the second one, but I think the first Agents of Oblivion CD is better than anything else Dax Riggs has been involved in.

Shangri La De Da was my fave STP cd...probably just me though. I thought it was a nice move from radio rock to a more Beach Boys-esque production value.

What is it that I don't like about AGIB? I can't tell what it is, but I just don't enjoy it as much as the others. Is it the soloing? I usually like solos. Weird.

It's not as catchy. Not as thoroughly interesting as its predecessor. Jay Bennett might be a bit of a headcase, but I missed him on this. However, I will say that A Ghost is Born sounds great live. I was way impressed with "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" and "Hummingbird" in particular; the latter became one of my favorite Wilco songs after I saw them. "Theologians" also gets a lot more bounce and sounds like it could have snuck onto Being There quite nicely.

Over a year apart betweeing seeing them post-AGIB, and both times during the performance of "Hummingbird," towards the end of the song, Tweedy turned his back to the crowd and started jogging in place. I assume you saw this, too.

 

And I love the album version of "Spiders," but live it becomes a fucking monolith. Both times I saw them do it I screamed in exult whenever they hit the "rock out" part.

Oh, and I love the free jazz skronk of the guitar on "At Least That's What You Said." One of the few moments of life on AGIB, an album that's so cold and unfeeling.

 

Also, AM is a good album that draws too many—if understandable—comparisons to Uncle Tupelo. Many, many good songs on it. "Box Full of Letters" makes a convincing case that Wilco could've been a great power pop band.

Even though it was the first time I saw Wilco, the jogging was such an obvious "I do this every night!" arena tour bit. Rest of the show was good enough to forgive that, though.
