Always love Wilco. The remind so much of the "Jayhawks" mainly because they dont get along with each other artistically which is what makes bands great, theres nothing worse than a band that agrees with each other. Though this is what broke the Jayhawks up, they were album to record together pretty much for 15 years.

So I'm assuming you're a Golden Smog fan as well. What about Son Volt? Wilco is by far my favorite 'alt country' band. "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is the best album of all time, in my opinion.

YHF is definitely one of the best to come out of the "00's"

Yeah i really like Golden Smog and Son Volt, i agree "Yankee" was an outstanding record, and how it wasnt up for album of the year when it was considered the Best album by every critic amazes me. That whole group of artists from Ryan Adams,Jayhawks,Wilco,Golden Smog,Son Volt,Gillian Welch,Lucinda Williams etc...Are some of the greatest artists to come along the last 20 years. People dont realize that Gary Louris (Jayhwaks leader) was responsible for the Dixie Chicks Latest record which was album of the year.

I'm also a huge fan of Soul Asylum and Dave Pirner's lyrics.

I like Wilco a lot, but that song's kind of a preachy snoozer.

Love Wilco! A Ghost is Born was brilliant, despite a 10 minute feedback drone which I haven't gotten through.

Being There is my favorite.

They have a great documentary called I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, based on the making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Yes the documentary is amazing too! On a different note, if u havent heard it check out the Jayhawks "Sound of lies" cd from 1997, one of the best records of the 90's. I heard that record cost them about a million dollars to make and they borrowed the money against their contract since the label wouldnt foot the bill for them.

Yeah Gary Louris, who was the lead singer of the Jayhawks before they broke up in 2005, is one of the best "unknowns" in the industry. Responsible for so much great music, including the Dixie Chicks recent album of the year. But he has worked with alot of the artists mentioned here. The Jayhawks started off more acoustic alt-country, got a little harder edged electric towards the end, but always great stuff.

I actually prefer "Tomorrow The Green Grass." But any Jayhawks album is alright by me!
