50 Most Important - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Number 49 is Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I have a friend who was completely hooked on this album when it came out. Me I personally never understood the appeal. It's a solid album, but certainly not their best and a bit too experimental for me. I much prefer Wilco when they are hitting out the solid, well versed pop tunes. In the piece about this album the people that put this list together talk about how this album opened up a whole new sound for Wilco. I'm not sure how that qualifies it to be one of the top 50 albums of the decade.
