Produced by Rick Rubin. It's taken me a long time to be able to appreciate the Chili Peppers, and they still have moments where I just don't get what the big deal is about them. But I have to admit...albums like Californication are growing on me more and more. And that's saying a lot, considering my mind was closed to these guys for such a very long time. This album is, for me, about the good that can come from keeping an open mind about music, albums, and specific bands that can sometimes drive you crazy. [First added to this chart: 04/13/2012]

16. A Shot In The Arm (Alternate Version)

In 1999, with the release of their third album Summerteeth, Wilco was on the verge of greatness. They were moving steadily away from the alt-country roots of Uncle Tupelo and closer to the experimental excellence of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but what was really making Wilco a special band was the growing presence of Jay Bennett. Bennett had joined Wilco in 1994, and his abilities on a wide array of instruments were making Wilco into a very special band. Summerteeth has not only him as a strength, but also the continuing improvement of Jeff Tweedy as a songwriter. They weren’t quite there yet (that would be on their next album), but Summerteeth is definitely close to as good as Wilco would get. The sound is crisp and immediate, and the songs are very, very good. A definite step up from the second album, Being There.

“Can’t Stand It” was released as a single, and it fared poorly. But there are a bunch of songs that are big improvements for Tweedy lyrically (he was having marital problems and was reading a lot of American literature, both of which are clear in the songs), including “A Shot In The Arm” and “Via Chicago”. The real highlight, though, is the work of Bennett, whose instrumental prowess gives the band a depth they would otherwise never have. The partnership between Tweedy and Bennett would sour during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, with Bennett being fired as soon as that album was released (he then release a slew of solo albums before dying in his sleep in 2009). Summerteeth is the album where Wilco really grew up, a huge step from where they had been,, and a great foreshadow of where they were going. Not perfect, but more than worthwhile.

1999 – UP/WARNER BROS
Produced By PHIL EK & DOUG MARTSCH

1. The Plan
2. Center Of The Universe
3. Carry The Zero
4. Sidewalk
5. Bad Light
6. Time Trap
7. Else
8. You Were Right
9. Temporarily Blind
10. Broken Chairs

Built To Spill is simply one of the coolest bands ever. Don’t believe me? I give you a short list of three albums by this band from Boise, Idaho (of all places) that I am sure will convince you. Three consecutive releases, all within five years of each other. Their second album, There’s Nothing Wrong With Love from 1994. Then 1997’s Perfect From Now On. And finally, Keep It Like A Secret from 1999. At the end of the nineties, there was not a band that was better than Built To Spill. These three discs are great…a group at the height of their powers. Keep It Like A Secret is a great band at their peak, a should have been hit. It was not, which is okay…it keeps this band a cool little secret we can say we know about while others don’t have a clue. It’s good to have a band like this in your hip pocket.

“Center Of The Universe” and “Carry The Zero” are monster tracks. “You Were Right” utilizes lyrics from other famous songs by other artists in the best way. Nobody here is trying to come up with a hit single, and it shows…Built To Spill makes their own music on their own terms, which is what only the best of bands do. That late nineties trio of albums by Built To Spill is about as good as it gets. And they are still a great band…still together, still making records, and still not seeming to care a lick if they have a hit single or not. You really can’t go wrong with anything by Built To Spill, one of the best and most underappreciated bands of the last thirty years. And please…take the challenge I presented above. Your ears will appreciate you for it!
