As those of you who listen to our podcast series already know (courtesy of Glenn Kotche), Wilco is curating the Solid Sound Festival at MASS MoCA. We were planning to do a playlist for the festival — but Jeff Tweedy beat us to it. So, instead, here is a trip through Wilco through their studio albums — in mostly non-studio versions, of course. Wilco fans are invited to debate how we fared in our selections on the forum — and everybody else is invited to enjoy some of the smartest songs around:

1995: A.M. — “I Must be High”
1996: Being There — “I Got You (At the End of the Century)”
1999: Summerteeth — “She’s a Jar”
2002: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot — “Jesus, Etc.”
2004: A Ghost Is Born — “Spiders (Kidsmoke)”
2007: Sky Blue Sky — “Impossible Germany”
2009: Wilco (The Album) — “Bull Black Nova”
