Mesh, I can’t take your non-polled opinion seriously if that’s what it’s going to be. But first, give me a minute to check Amazon for info…
…okay, it’s 60s and 70s indie folk. I’m safe, and you are indeed serious. I’ll take it under consideration.

Q, I do indeed have the other major Wilco albums, as well as the other major Beck albums mentioned. I don’t *need* anything. I’m just trolling for ill-formed opinions, that’s all. I figured that I’ll be happy with most of the list already, so I just need help picking from amongst hopeful winners.

Further, I hereby state that if Josh Daniels should choose to cast a vote, I will weight it by a factor of four.

Do you HAVE all other Wilco albums? Why guero? If you need a good Beck album get Sea Change. I’m not sure I understand exactly what you need. Considering that I consider myself to have hands down the second best taste in music next to JD, I feel like I need clearer guidelines before I beging to bestow my impressive knowledge upon the masses in this instance.

But among the current finalists, I’d pick Wilco, The Hold Steady and Guero. The last of which you should already own. Shame.

[Noel says this is not fair or helpful]

So, if I have to vote for one of the front runners, I’ll go for Z, but with trepidation, since I’m concerned that his voice and the sci-fi reverb will wear me out by track 4.

Thanks everyone who has voted so far.

Anybody else? Can I get a witness here?

I also support flaming lips live sessions.
