Not easy to evoke the exciting event Wilco. Well known in the US, the group has a much smaller reputation in our region. It must be said that the more time passes, the more difficult it is to store Wilco in the big mess modern rock, and still more difficult to append to it a particular audience as his (long) musical journey reluctant to settle in a box comfortable. Between the blues rock beginnings, pop exalted some of their biggest hits ("Theologians" 'Heavy Metal Drummer ", the album" Summerteeth "), the radical kraut-rock or post-rock of their era" A ghost is born "or the old bar piano rock 'Sky Blue Sky', there where drinking and eating: there are the Beatles of shards, stonienne roughness or velvetienne, a Radiohead lyric or the horizontality of Neu, without mentioning the innumerable traces of Pavement, Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, Big Star, Feelies, and many others: we are here in polite company. The only constant is the disturbing voice of Jeff Tweedy, the indefatigable singer and his delightful sense of songwriting, both complex, touching and bright. The Wilco career alone merits a book, to go deep on this mammoth evolution, protean, captivating, a crazy freedom. Let us say that this best-of, for once deserves its name as the careful choice of songs for information well with this constant change is the perfect opportunity to get an idea. After, free to each according to his sensitivity to focus on a particular album. Personally rugged diptych "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot-A ghost is Born" is my preference, but it is another story.
