That's funny. I like A Ghost is Born (Wilco) a lot better than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, even though it hasn't gotten the same critical buzz. I just feel it has many more stronger songs. Being There is great, and I also feel that Jeff Tweedy's material on most Uncle Tupelo albums was so much better than Jay Farrar's. How do you feel about the Mermaid Avenue albums - I like the first but haven't heard the second one.

Mojo: You ought to check Wilco out. They defy categorization. Some stuff sounds like 1970s mid-tempo rock, then they have all-out country stuff that the Stones would have been proud to record in the Let it Bleed and Goats Head Soup era, then they have stuff that is post-alternative that just goes into their own realm. Great musicianship, songwriting, etc.
