With your suggestions from that post. I kept listening and now I can't stop listening to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born. I think I may actually buy their new live album which i hear is amazing.

    glad to see a youngin' seeing the light!!!

    I'm a Wilco nut and frankly I'm a little underwhelmed with the live album. It has it's moments (notably via chicago, misunderstood, comment, hell is chrome" but overall, I think it's just so-so.

    I would suggest you pick up "Mermaid Avenue v.1", or "Being There" if you're looking for where to go next with Wilco. Another route would be the DVD "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", great look at the making of YHF, insight into the recording process, the interactions of a band, and fantastic music to boot.

    I have had YFH for a while, it is good, but honestly don't listen to it much.

    For some reason I felt the need to pick up the live album and I am loving it. Good live band, I will probably go back and check our A Ghost Is Born sometime soon.

    yeah, it does take a while with them...i went through the same thing, and so did some friends of mine after I told them about Wilco..but now we all love em..anyways, the live album is a must have..its easily one of the best live albums I own, i've seen them live twice and was still blown away by how good the live album was..great tracklisting too.
