wow.

i already own YHF, which i absolutely love, and AGIB, which was OK for me.

per lenny and a few others here, i went with being there next. this is a ridiculously good album friends.

beautiful, jazzy, upbeat alt-country rock.

Being There containts a handful of Wilco's best songs, moreso than any other album, but as a full album i prefer YHF by a tiny bit.

Summerteeth is a blast as well, but i'd put it just behind BT for me (then Mermaid 1 & 2, AGIB & AM)

Summerteeth is too, I can't find the right word here, but I'm more of a Being there fan myself...

the only thing I'm sure of is that YHF is my favorite. after that, it's pretty much a free for all.

This is my 3rd favorite. Right behind AGiB and YHF. You really should hear a Jeff Tweedy show next. They released one from Chicago on there website.

yup.

behind PJ, Wilco/Jeff are the artist i've seen the most (after than prolly Ben Harper, Martin Sexton, and Guster).

think i'm at around 12-13 Wilco shows & 5 Jeff solo shows now since my first show in '97

kinda cool to have seen them in so many diff incarnations... this current one is def the most exciting, but those 97-99 shows were insanely fun too, Jay Bennett is great.

gee, i'll have to get summerteeth.

i love YHF, but being there as a different, more upbeat feel.

'kingpin' is great.

definitly a cool read if you're into the band. I read it on holidays a month back. It was cool to read and listen to the songs they were talking about.

Kingpin is amazing live. Just saw the band last night. Good show, just like when I saw them in November. If you want more details on the show and a Wilco messageboard check it out
