It'd be really hard for me to argue with anyone saying this is one of the greatest albums ever made. It ended up being my first introduction to Wilco, and will always hold a top spot for me, though maybe one or two other albums I could say I prefer on a given day. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is as close to perfect as it gets, and I think it really can fit any mood or vibe. It begins to really delve into some of the more experimental leanings that Wilco have come to lean on at times, while also maintaining really catchy and accessible songwriting. There are tons of melodies sprinkled throughout that remain memorable long after the record stops spinning.
