henley v. tweedy

I'm hardly a Wilco fan but the Eagles are never the right answer

henley

who looks better holding a guitar

I would listen to Tweedy covering "The Last Worthless Evening" but not Henley covering "At Least That's What You Said." So . . . I'm not sure what the correct answer here is.

(j/k Tweedy)

by 'all-time jams' do you mean jams that go on for literally ever

jay bennett vs don felder

what did Don 'n' Ghost of Glenn think of Wilco?

"Outta mind, outta sight."

"Well, yeah."

don felder not dead yet! did not realize that bernie leadon rejoined the band in 2013 until recently, though.

did don henley ever form a band with his son and call it "henley"? that's sort of what i thought when i saw the thread title

uncle tupelo kills the eagles

esp the early stuff had such a great mix of replacments, minutmen and what would become "alt country"

only one is Jim O'Rourke approved

it's so funny to me cuz i still think of wilco as his next inferior band, like if everyone only knew brian baker from dag nasty or something

Thought this thread would be about Cheryl thumping someone at the Regatta

was uncle tupelo willing to experiment as much as wilco though? or is this why ut > wilco?

i dunno i like wilco but tupelo had a great four album arc, a gradual maturity of their sound ending in their best album then broke up

also i like them together better than apart (i am a wilco fan as well)

i guess i don't see wilco being all that "experimental" in the real sense of the word, i mean they did some production stuff etc but i never saw them being any less of a rock band than tupelo at the end of the day and they never really gave the rush of adreneline that tupelo could imo

but it's hard they broke up and wilco stayed a band so it's kind of unfair tupelo has the advantage in that sense

wilco is a good rock band

ya i never gave tupelo a chance but i probably should

i just really loved yankee hotel foxtrot and ghost is born

yeah i dunno tupelo's kind of different thing from a different era so it might not be your bag

i listen to all kinds of stuff tho

whats there best album?

their obv

i'd say for me a tie between Still Feel Gone (best earlier scrappier one) and Anodyne (the last and prob best overall)

cool man

will have a listen

Neither.

anodyne is awesome, start to finish. last song is devastating in retrospect, knowing these two bros who built such a great band would end up never speaking again

only one of these dudes wrote boys of summer but unfortch he's also one of the most loathsome pieces of shit in popular music so i'm really on the fence here :(

none of these dudes wrote boys of summer

ok I take it back I guess he wrote the words?

more like soys of bummer

don henley cover band

"The Boys of Summer" is a song released in 1984 by Eagles vocalist and drummer Don Henley, with lyrics written by Henley and music composed by Henley and Mike Campbell.

I guess I just didn't want to admit that Henley had any role in creating a great song besides delivering a whiny vocal

well, yeah

don't look back you can never look back

I saw a Wilco sticker on an iPad

i dunno i like wilco but tupelo had a great four album arc, a gradual maturity of their sound ending in their best album then broke up

also i like them together better than apart (i am a wilco fan as well)

this just seems like a question of narrative more than musical content. wilco had the same four-album arc except it ended with jay bennett getting kicked out and destroying himself through substance abuse. take away wilco's second act and i think they'd be thought of as a lot more "experimental" than they are today.

give me the Eagles over uncle tupelo

Well I just like Uncle Tupelo better

I don't think Wilco is experimental in any sense

really? i've never cared much for them but i'll give them "experimental" just on what i've heard from album to album

but uncle tupelo versus the eagles?

I mean seriously, this is like the "Al Green, C or D?" thread title.

Henley Metal Drummer

Hon Denley v. Teff Jweedy

henley schmenley

Kinda weird to think Jay Farrar is the Glen Frey in this equation.

well, yeah

I'd bet he'd consider himself the Bernie.

Jay Farrar's slow-burning, dirge-like "Smuggler's Blues."

Henley's songs are better and he's a superior harmonist by any measure, and probably a better musician overall

hating on the Eagles is seriously such a drab self-identification exercise at this point, it sounds like Beatles bros who got tired of telling you how bad they hate Yoko

Or maybe they just suck.

I really hate to write this, but Joan tom – in the main.

*otm

good thing ILM has never turned reflexively hating on Wilco into a drab self-identification exercise

i listened to every goddamn Eagles song even the Wal-Mart ones

^^We Are Veterans Of 1000 Tequila Sunrise Wars

lol

I'll take six "Boys of Summer"s and "The Long Run"s over the Wilco catalog, it's true.

The Eagles still suck.

They also have the better documentary.

Well so does Arnold Friedman.

Saw Wilco here in Portland the other night and man oh man Jeff Tweedy is one funny guy, I'd love to see him host a talk show, Anyway, I'm voting for Tweedy because he was great that night. As as the band, as was their opening act Joan Shelley and Nathan Salzberg (?).

Shelley and Salsburg made one of 2015's very best albums, called Over And Even. if you liked their set you should check it out.

Tweedy runs circles around Henley.

uh have you seen the shape they're both in? ain't nobody running except to CVS for pills

Joan Shelley & Salsburg are fucking amazing that's cool they are taking them out

Nels Cline plays for Wilco and killed it when I saw them a few weeks ago

Why choose?

get you a haggard old liberal songwriter who can do both

someone had to do it, Eazy. Godspeed.

henley's infinitely superior vocals give him the edge, i can't hang with the tweed's croak..affected/constipated

henley has one of the prettiest voices ever.

Alright he was a good singer but let's pump the brakes

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Knowing how ILM never fails to surprise with polls I wouldn't be too surprised if Henley won this

well, yeah

'surprise'

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
