I prefer any other Wilco album to A Ghost Is Born. I wasn't feeling that record.

Yankee Foxtrot Hotel would have made my top 10 albums of the past decade. But I just love the lyrics and more chill vibe of Ghost compared to Foxtrot.

Well, the more I think about it Foxtrot was chill too, just in a different way. I need to listen to the other Wilco albums.

2) Yuck - Yuck
3) Wilco - A Ghost is Born
4) Kasabian - Kasabian
5) The Horrors - Skying

Assuming Radiohead doesn't count as most people know them... =D
