10 Best Wilco Songs

Another song which you can find on rarities album Alpha Mike Foxtrot, this was actually an outtake from the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sessions.

Less than three minutes long, A Magazine Called Sunset is a sixties-inflected warm pop gem. With its upbeat feel you can see why it never made the final album cut, and in fact it would probably have been more at home on previous record Summerteeth.

It also has possibly Wilco’s most ridiculous intro. Like a cross between a circus clown act theme tune and a cheesy 70s lounge act, it has no relationship whatsoever with the rest of the song.

While it’s only ever been a recorded footnote, the band have never shied away from playing it in the live arena. It’s been performed over 60 times in recent years, not bad for a band with such a vast back catalogue.
