My fav Wilco album is Summerteeth....pure class, I'd go for this one.

You should check out their DVD I am trying to break your heart....made around the time of YHF, getting dropped from their label...sacking band members....really interesting

Yeah, Summerteeth is a good'un. Being there is good, too, but I haven't really listened to it enough.

YHT and A Ghost is Born are realy, really, reallly, realllly good.

I dunno, depending what you're into, you could also try Mermaid Avenus, the one they did with Billy Bragg as a tribute to Woody Guthrie. Bit hokey but great. Vol. 2 is awful, though.

or hold out til nov 1 and get their new live cd.

anything by wilco is amazing, AM, Being There, Summerteeth, should all be bought as well as the Mermaid Ave records. if you have a good connection there are some great concerts on: bt.viachicago.org

if i had to pick one i'd go for summerteeth. no reason why but you have to pick one...

Vol 2 awful?? Airline To Heaven, Stetson Kennedy, Remember The Mountain Bed, Blood Of The Lamb, Someday, Some Morning, Sometime.

have another listen...

Get the Mermaid Avenues albums, my name's on them!

lordgoat

is it? do tell... you know jeff is playing the shepards bush on nov 22nd right?

Gordon

I won't see them for a while being in Greece I reckon

lordgoat

nasty it's a jeff solo show too! so how does one get his name onto mermaid ave?

Gordon

Jeff's solo now? Cool, he's a talented bloke, nice guy too. I assisted the engineer on the mixing for a month or so.

Tiddlywinks

Thanks guys! Got Being There in Tower and also Turn's new album..which i hope lives up to the rest.. Cant wait to go home and listen now cause my discman battery is gone! Hate that! Will go for summerteeth next methinks

I don't think that's what he meant. Jeff does solo shows every now and again.

What about that Loose Fur, wha?

Terrible stuff.

Tiddlywinks

I do have Loose Fur album and its brilliant, can't believe that anyone would think otherwise.Jim O'Rourke is a legend
