Of course, if you step out of the Audities universe and into the real world,
the album was vastly UNDERrated, as the average Joe on the street will have
never even heard of Wilco and certainly not YHF (as opposed to say the Who
or Christine Aguilera).
By the way, I'm probably the last to figure this out, but I know that YHF
was very much influenced by Tweedy's love of radio; I just realized that
Wilco is like, "Roger wilco, over and out."
