My Music Listening Journal 2021: Day 71: Friday March 12, 2021.
- WILCO: YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT: 2001: 5+ STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: IPOD: ALTERNATIVE ROCK: I haven’t done much thinking about it but Yankee Hotel Foxtrot may be my favorite album of the first 20 years of this century. It is certainly the one which pops to mind first when I thought of that question. There is an excellent documentary that goes along with the album- on the making of the album I Am Trying To Break Your Heart. The widely praised album is also Wilco’s best selling and highest charting album. Mount Rushmore: ‘I Am Trying To Break Your Heart’, ‘War On War’, ‘I’m The Man Who Loves You’ and ‘Kamera’ but the entire album from start to finish is stellar.
I like this MUSIC LISTENING JOURNAL idea, some proactive thoughts that’s come out of it; nice work!
Thank you. I need to get back to listening to more music I used to average 5-6 albums a day….
Here’s to the 1000th day of the journal – I’ll see you then 😉
I need to hear this. Just borrowed it 🙂
ENJOY!
Yay! One of several high rides for Wilco (the doco being quite aces, too) x
Completely agree… a strong contender for my favorite album of this century (most def in top 4) and by far their best work…and little they’ve done has been bad. Best album I ever bought on “spec”… that is to say, hadn’t heard any of it but I kept seeing so many good reviews AND thought they were decent when I saw them in concert 2 years prior so bought it “sight unseen”
That will be hard to top- sight unseen.
Its a good one Hans and that doc is also good.
