Hi,

Can someone out there point me in the right direction in terms of signature tracks, best album to acquire etc etc

Thanks!

Depends on your musical taste. I got into them through the documentary DVD I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, which followed the making of their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. That's probably my favourite of theirs. The latest album, Sky Blue Sky, is perhaps a little gentler than the previous ones but would be my second favourite - if not my first, half the time. A Ghost Is Born has some killer riffs but might require a few playings to get into. Some amazing tracks on there. I recommend "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" for sheer jump-around exhilaration.

The live album Kicking Television might also be a good place to start, seeing as they're a fantastic live band. There's a live DVD on the way, I hear.

Seek the tracks:

Radio Cure
Jesus Etc

& you shall find!

And my personal favourites:
- Hummingbird and Muzzle of Bees

And Please be patient with me, and Red eyed and blue and ..

Did I mention I love Wilco :-)

I'm a big fan of the album Being There (double-cd). Also, you can't go wrong with Summerteeth.

My dad always loved them but what got me into them was the Jeff Tweedy solo dvd Sunken Treasure.
I still love it

Also maybe check out the 2 CDs with Billy Bragg, Mermaid Avenue. I really like them

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I've gone and ordered myself a copy of Sky Blue Sky from Amazon for starters!
