Bill just loves to disagree with me:
Hmm, for a small hypothetical, if you removed the vocal track from all
three Wilco records, and just listened to the instrumentals, you wouldn't
find each record different from the other? (What's the degree of difference
significant to your mini-analysis
PS: For the record, I don't hate ELO nearly as much as many others around
these parts seem to; I love early (i.e. Syd Barrett-era) Pink Floyd, and
though Sgt. Pepper is my least favorite Beatles record, I can't say I hate
it either. Nonetheless, I still don't like Summerteeth.

I can't stand any pink floyd or sgt. peppers

Stevie my man, the Floyd I ain't even gonna touch, but The Pepper? As
overrated as I think the album truly is, "A Day in the Life" is why rock
means a damn thing (and may redeem the mediocrity which preceded it). If
nothing else, McCartney's

Terry, your ELO premise is wrong. While the band's original records were
equal, more or less, to crappy, pretentious, classical rock, the ELO period
that Summerteeth is inarguably borowing from, and borrowing heavily--I say
inarguably, because you only have to listen to A New World Record to hear
ObWilco: I'm quite taken with Via Chicago. Yet to pass judgement on
the rest of the record -- some nice sounds, though no songs have grabbed
me.
ObNorton, Amy sez:
Primal Fear is
the first and most striking example of that: a mediocre thriller with a

i wonder how many people who like this album actually liked anything done by
elo, or the sgt. peppers, or late period pink floyd. i mean, that's my
problem in a nutshell. i can't stand "summerteeth" cause it sounds so much
like an attempt to duplicate those things, which i loathe. big

But what has really got my simple little mind all a-twist is how a band

used to accuse people of being too static to accept a new horizon??

Maybe we just don't like Wilco.

How do you get from this:
A sprinkle of Pink Floyd , just enough to mellow out the strong
flavor of Beatles, and finish it off with big dollop of eighties pop
to this:
there are new and uncharted territories yet to be discovered and
Jeff Tweedy and Wilco are just the guys to prove it.
