That assessment is most telling. And that you've never heard of Wilco speaks volumes for your taste and knowledge of music.

Again, nothing wrong with FF, but I just don't find them very interesting, original or inventive.

OTOH, I think that Wilco is all of that... and much - more and probably one of the best working bands in the country.

Tweedy's volume of work dates back to Uncle Tupelo in the early 90s and his catalog is deep and diverse. A master songcraftsman with a great nose for interesting arrangements. He has not put out a bad album in the the 18 years. His song contributions with collaboration stints with Golden Smog and Bill Bragg (Woodie Guthrie/Mermaid Avenue sessions) are tasty too.

I'm not sure what you mean by hippie, but if you walk on any major college campus and ask who is better, Wilco or FF, the response is likely to be "Foo Who?"

There's no use in debating with someone who has never even heard of them, as if you had that type of intelligent taste in music, you would have already heard of them. No shame in that, but I'm not alone in feeling that Tweedy is for the thinking man...and FF.... uhmmm, not so much. I'm sure the likes of Umphrey's McGee, Lotus, Disco Biscuits, moe. or The Steve Kimmock Band sail over your head at warp speed also.

But the real story is that Wilco even got nominated for a Grammy (for best Rock album of the Year). I think the new album The Whole Love is probably the best thing he's ever done and that is saying a lot. Most of my fellow Wilco fans disagree with my feelings about the new album though (they all like it a lot but don't feel it's his best). The fact that he can put out such a strong album (18 years after starting Wilco) means he has not lost his muse.

Your mileage obviously varies. Keep enjoying the paint by numbers FF and I'm glad you like them. Viva la différence .

i just love that my daughter has someone to look up to that doesnt strip on stage, post videos of smoking synthetic weed, on the cover of magazines leaving nothing to the imagination, etc. it is definitely not her vocal talent!!!

That should be "you're"....

Well, she is in a class all by herself. Although Bieber could give her a run for the no talent title.

Let either one sing without a microphone and mixing board to make them sound even halfway decent and the career would be over....

No, she just sings songs that sound like the ramblings of some psycho stalker chick that will eventually boil the family rabbit. Yeah, she's a great role model.

FP Crazy, you are certainly living up to your handle.

Wilco and the Foo look to me to be two un-comparable bands, judging off their finished products. Apparently I am not enough of a hippie to have cought on to Wilco so I YouTubed about four songs. After waking up, they appear to me to be some sort of love child band from the spawn of Tom Petty and the Grateful Dead.

Foo Fighters rock, they are "the last great rock band", not dubbed by me, the creativity on videos, side projects....Many in the music industry would compare Dave Grohl's pinky to others who can't come close.

I'd pick her over the alternatives any day my friend! You can stick with Hannah deep throat Montanna! I'm not worried about my daughter boiling rabbits, my wife and I trust the way we have Raised her thus far.

And parents of kids that are fans of the stars that you have knocked say the same thing.

Yeah, ummm, guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree. I'm going to go ahead and disregard your argument because you're comparing 10 different fruits here, not just apples and oranges. I just like A LOT more yelling / aggression / overall livelyness to my tunes.

College campus? WTF do I care about some college kids opinion on music. That's almost as effective as going to Best Buy and asking the same kid about technology. If you're trying to stay relevent with that co-ed crowd for the sake of the ladies, I get it, good luck.

If I want to listen to an 8 or 10 song, I'll queue up some Dream Theater (though i am still mad about the Portnoy thing), but that's just my poor taste....
