    I just decided to give these guys another whirl. I got Kickin TV, Yankee Foxtrot, and the new one. Is that a pretty good starter kit?

    Yeah Dewie. That's a good start. Their early stuff is good, but IMO these guys really got it going later in their career with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sky Blue Sky, Summerteeth, A Ghost is Born and Wilco (the album).

    My current favorite song is Everlasting Everything, the final track on Wilco (the album)....
