Wilco has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. My favorite album of theirs is A Ghost is Born. I felt the lukewarm reaction to Sky Blue Sky (52 in pitchfork; a lot of my friends didn't like it much) was somewhat undeserved and due to unrealistic expectations, and that it's a very solid album too.

Their earlier work is good too but imo not on par with their later stuff and I don't really listen to it.

Other stuff they've done that I love include their Woody Guthrie covers with Billy Brag called Mermaid Avenue (and Vol. 2). They also have an awesome live album.
