Discuss.

How To Fight Loneliness by a wide margin.

That said, Radiohead and Wilco are both about equally way high up on my list of favorite artists.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

How to Disappear Completely ftw.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Wilco

 

[Dalton]

i might go with how do you fight loneliness.

 

[lazarus]

Pyramid Song.

 

[Dalton]

Lazarus has been eliminated for not following the instructions.

 

[Bonochick]

Wilco

 

[LMP]

I haven't heard the Wilco track yet, but it's hard to top How to Disappear Completely.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I haven't heard the Wilco track yet, but it's hard to top How to Disappear Completely.

How to Fight Loneliness, Boston, 10/19/02. The original version on Summerteeth is far superior, but this is the only live version I could find on my computer. In the process I realized I have six or seven Wilco shows on here I don't remember ever listening to

Nobody does achingly beautiful the way Jeff Tweedy does. End of story.

Sophie's Choice.

With a gun at my head, I would have to go with How to Disappear Completely. It moves me on a deeper level.

 

[Lancemc]

Compared to a great Wilco song, How To Disappear Completely might not dominate so wholely and completely. Unfortunately, as it stands, it does.

 

[LemonMelon]

How To Disappear is so much better.

And there are many songs on Summerteeth I would take over HTFL.

 

[Zoots]

I haven't heard the Wilco track yet, but it's hard to top How to Disappear Completely.

 

[LemonMelon]

There are too many people here who haven't heard Summerteeth yet. That must be remedied.

 

[LMP]

I really dug that track on your Desert Island list, I'm gonna get the rest of Wilco's discography soon.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I love Summerteeth -- both the record and the song.

 

[UberBeaver]

How to Disappear Completely kills me (though Exit Music is a religious experience - especially live).

I'm listening to the Wilco song now. Excellent, but HtDC takes it.

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

how to disappear completely I would consider more depressing than beautiful none the less a great song. Probably favourite radiohead song

 

[LMP]

The Wilco track is excellent, but it isn't even the "most beautiful" track on Summerteeth.

That would be "In a Future Age"

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Nah. It would be Via Chicago. That song kills me every time. We're Just Friends is a tough one, too.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Via Chicago is really gorgeous.

 

[Mr. Green Eyes]

The How To Disappear Completely was a better song then the How Do You Fight Loneliness? I watched them both on utube just now, and I really liked the feel of HtDC song, especially the ending. The HDUFL one was just.....I don't know, I just didn't feel anything from it.

 

[Jack In The Box]

both are amazing songs

this is unfair

 

[LMP]

Nah. It would be Via Chicago. That song kills me every time. We're Just Friends is a tough one, too.

Damn. It's up there for me, too.

Why haven't I heard all of Summerteeth until now? It could be my favorite Wilco album.

 

[phillyfan26]

I've never heard this album.

 

[Zoomerang96]

isn't it "how TO fight loneliness"?

both are great songs.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Why haven't I heard all of Summerteeth until now? It could be my favorite Wilco album.

I think it's my fourth favorite, behind Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Being There, and Sky Blue Sky. Wilco just has so many great albums.

 

[LMP]

It doesn't take itself as seriously as Sky Blue Sky though, which may put it a step above for me. I don't know.

Right now it's:

1. Yankee
2a. Summerteeth
2b. Sky Blue Sky
3. A Ghost Is Born
4. Being There
5. A.M.
