#680... Yankee Hotel Foxtrot?!
KEXP in Seattle has been counting down the top 903 albums of all-time over the last few days, and something shocking just happened. Sandwiched in between Alexi Murdoch's Time Without Consequence (#681) and Whiskeytown's The Ballad Of Carol Lynn (#679) was the Chicago classic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I know it is hard to please everyone in a fan based voting system, but I find it hard to believe that there are 679 albums better than Wilco's best. In fact, while Sons and Daughter's (677) and Ratatat (676) play, it is clear we need a recount! Regardless, if you are tried of debating Palin vs. Biden, check out the rest of the countdown at KEXP.org, and start debating Wilco vs. The Meat Puppets.

i thought it was clear that wilco was no longer cool? pretty crazy that w-town was before them, i really like a few songs on that album, but i think that half of the album isn't as great.
