Wilco
Mermaid Avenue
Easily, Definitely, Without a doubt the best CD of the year
Review Score:
(10/10)Last year I thought that "OK Computer" was the best CD of the year. This blows that one away. These are songs that move you. Woody would have been proud. This is even better than "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" which I didn't think was possible
