Any Wilco fans here? 

Also wanted to know if anyone has gotten their new double live cd called "Kicking Television:Live in Chicago".  I know I could read their site to see a review of the album but I hate getting biased reviews and wanted to know what a GNR based music fan thought of it. 

I went to a show of theirs 14 months ago and I gotta say that was some of the best musicianship I've ever seen out of a group.  Sure they are sort of slop-rock but they are good at what they do.

For those unfamiliar with the band, I would compare them alot to Tommy's Village Gorilla Head cd.

I have Summer Teeth. Not my favorite album of all time, but very appropiate for a certain mood. Country rock at its best, so I don't think is that similar to Tommy's album.

They are very respected in the business. Rock press and colleagues praise this band as a major influence and so on. I don't particulary see any of this, to me there are just another good Rock and roll band with country influences, but hey, it's just my .02.

any other album recommendations Deez?

I don't see what the deal is with Wilco. I don't hate them, just don't dig 'em that much. Kinda bore me.

Definitely agree that you have to be in a certain mood to listen to them.?

I'm not a hardcore fan or anything but I think 2002's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is their best cd and also probably their most critically acclaimed.? It's a pretty cool story that their label (Sire/Reprise) actually dropped them because they thought that YHF wouldn't sell and then they came out with that cd on another label and it sold like 3 times more than their previous records.?
