Top 10 Most Embarrassing Songs

9. The Art of Almost

Artist: Wilco Album: The Whole Love (dBpm) My friends got mad at me when I mentioned this was going on the list, but hear me out. Some of you are fans of the alt-rock of A.M. Others like the depressingly upbeat tunes of Being There or Summerteeth. Others the experimental-ness of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost is Born. Maybe the mature wistfulness of Sky Blue Sky. But if you, like me, love Wilco, and you hear someone say, €œI don€™t really know them, but that electronica song for their newer album is pretty good,€ don€™t you cringe a bit? Eclecticism and adventurism is fine, and necessary at some point. But Wilco is not The Postal Service, and never should be. Alt-rock can combine with avant-noise rock, but electronica is a bridge too far. Tweedy, I love you for who you are, stop trying to impress everyone else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz6UrYvacQk
