I've gone back and forth with Wilco, loving some of their shit, and yawning at an equal amount.

But I think, after listening to them for over ten years, that they probably rank among my top 20 or so bands.

I'm not a Yankee Hotel Foxtrot freak. I think it's a good album, and I appreciate the move towards spaciness (spaciousness? space-rock? kraut?), but I think A Ghost is Born is a far far better album. I was raised on Being There, but I've always skipped tracks. I think I'm finally coming around to liking it as a whole, though. Summerteeth is still not a favorite, but I really like moments of their last three albums (especially Wilco the Album). There are still songs I can't stand.

Basically, I think they should be more spacey- more noise, more long songs, more integration of folk and kraut- and more experimental, but they're great live and they've made a few of my favorite songs of the 00's.

does anyone like Wilco (the band)?
