As opposed to Animals?

Okay, I need help with any of these:

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

*It's nothing offensive. Just average, boring music to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*I can see a bit of appeal in the other albums, especially London Calling which I warmed up to a little (still not a classic to me though). This however, is absouletely terrible. I don't get it at all. I can't believe this is considered to be the best soul album ever.*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*See what I said about YHF. Not bad, just not the classic it's made out to be. I just find it kind of boring. It feels really dull and isn't exciting enough, sorry. Still a nice collection of songs though, I really like Hateful and Lost in the Supermarket.*

EDIT: Forget I wrote anything bad about Closer, it's fantastic.

I agree. It was a chore to listen to.

Very much disagree with you. It may be a hard album to get into for some people, but after a while, I'm sure you'll appreciate it. I love it because it's a diverse album that brings out the best of each area The Clash does.

That's because it is. I asked what it's appeal was once & was told it was because they fought that evil organisation Warners to get it released. No mention of the actual music at all. Just that it's seen as some indie moral victory.

Personally I just think Wilco are what this band would sound like if they had all the passion & authenticity sucked out of them....

I think Wilco might be an American thing. I'll be sure to check out Sparklehorse
