Sorry to jump into the discussion late, but I've just jumped into the forum, too...

"Gun," which I think represented a major breakthrough in Tweedy's skill as a songwriter. It's what made me think he could someday lyrically compete with Jay. I still think it's one of the best things he's ever written.

After that, "Black Eye," "No Sense In Lovin'," and "Screen Door." Typical choices, yes, but deserving ones.

I know it's not UT, but I've always felt that "Dash 7" didn't get enough respect. It's my favorite track from A.M..

Wait Up without a doubt is the BEST TWEEDY SONG EVER!!!! And that includes Wilco.........the intimacy in that song is intense. Mark T.

I Love "No sense in Lovin" and " I wish my Baby was born". Just stand out songs (if a little painful)

Way too many to name but I'll try. :) Black Eye, Watch Me Fall, Fatal Wound, Acuff Rose, New Madrid (fave live song).

And just for the record, my fave Jay UT songs are Grindstone, Still Be Around and Chickamauga.

I second that! After listening to the four "long plays" recently, I noticed too how well the backing vocals are... by both of them.

Fatal Wound is really good as is D. Boon and Watch Me Fall. Did someone mention these? Sorry, if I've repeated--I'll spare you any excuses.
