Combining superior musicianship and songcraft, Wilco is the best band in existence right now, and they are making a strong case for the best band of all time with their two most recent albums, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born. In a rare example of good taste by the Recording Academy, Wilco recently won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album for 2004's A Ghost Is Born and deservedly so. Lead singer and creative force Jeff Tweedy conducts a symphony of guitars and layered samples to create Wilco's unique sound, while guitarist Nels Cline is the most talented guitar god in the business today.

Wilco's Sports is really when they came into their own.

I've been a big Wilco fan ever since the release of their 2002 album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" where, uh, Jay Bennett's presence became more apparent. I think "A Ghost Is Born" was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

I'm so glad that this thread popped up. It totally made my day after another dreary session on the job. BTW Walrus, using Wilco was genius. I was ROFL hardcore after I read it. My inner-Bateman needed to come out and play. Thanks.

Don't encourage him too much or we'll have to endure these threads for the next month.
