I'm not very familiar with the band, i plan on listening to Foxtrot soon if that helps, but i do know they did a killer cover of Neil Young's freakass
"Broken Arrow."

Foxtrot's one of the first albums that really opened my eyes to all different kinds of music. Really influential to me. It's fantastic.

Yeah, i've heard it's pretty out there, and i can tell they must be pretty out there themselves just by tackling that song alone, especially as often as they have and how fresh they make the song feel. I'll be on it soon and bring back news.

I loved the band until it lost its engine--Jay B.

I havent listened to all of these albums, but I got into the band through the album Sky Blue Sky and I really love it. Obviously I need to get some other albums according to this poll.

Sky Blue Sky is great, but it's far from their best.

I have two albums by this band that I really love, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost is Born. I've listened to the other ones but never bought them... Anyways they're a great band. One of those that the critics seem to love but the majority of people have never heard of. I was watching a bit about them on TV once and supposedly their popularity is more of a regional thing... I doubt anyone on the West coast has heard of them, let alone people from other countries.

Anyways, my favorite Wilco songs would have to be I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Spiders (Kidsmoke), and Pot Kettle Black. Very solid albums overall, though. A Ghost is Born is up there with any of my favorite from the past decade.

I'm a Wilco fan. Haven't heard any full albums, but I've watched a few concerts on DVD that my friend turned me on to. Nels is such a spontaneous and natural talent on guitar, I mean just... listen:

My favorite Wilco album is Summerteeth but I think Being There is their best. You can't go wrong with any of their albums but those are my two favorite.
