Where did 25 years go....god, two weeks before I graduated college, driving from Charleston, IL to see them one last time.

Son Volt vs. Wilco is apples to oranges. It's a manner of personal preference. I always likened Farrar and Tweedy to Lennon and McCarthy.. both shared songwriting duties and purportedly had a contentious relationship. Tweedy certainly has experimented a lot more especially later in his career with Wilco. Farrar always seemed to be much more of a traditionalist, and my preference seems to lie with his Son Volt records. Take your pick, it's all good music.

Jay's voice is a national treasure.

I can listen to Wilco and be alright with it. But I just can't see myself buying a ticket to see them live. I go and see Son Volt every time they come to town. I can't explain it.

Damn this restores faith in humanity. Cheers to you young sir.

There are some that I can't see being replaced. Nels is sticking around for awhile I think.

Wilco is greater. Thats not to say that Uncle Tupelo wasn't great, Wilco just has better more experienced musicians(well rounded)

@MickeyYahoo puuhhleeze, Wilco is just as much a solo project with a band name as anything that ever was...Tweedy and Stirratt are the only original members..otherwise the entire band has changed...everyone may be treated like its a big family and maybe it was a genuine band in the beginning there, as that's what Tweedy knew and he was obviously not prepared [or wanted] to become Jeff Tweedy...anyway that was a long time ago...Wilco *is* Jeff Tweedy, and vice versa...anyone else is replaceable

@olddude1800 I agree with you about Jeff's voice, but Wilco is an awesome band with great guitar players. Son Volt is a solo project with a band's name.

Corrections. Jary Ferrar is not dead. He lives in South St. Louis and still writes and records. The Bottle Rockets did not come from UT. They began with three former members of Chicken Truck: Brian Henneman., Tom Parr and Mark Ortmann, along with a string of bass players. Only Brian and Mark are left in the band. Brian did sit in with UT alot. As for Wilco, I will never understand the popularity. I find Jeff's voice annoying, except when he's backing up Jay in UT.

@TheAdvocateMan ....the bottle rockets were brian Hennamens band way before tupelo ever split,....saw them open for them & play together many times.

@myndseye711 Jay Farrar is still very much alive. It's Jay Bennett (very much co-creator of SUMMERTEETH and YHF) who we sadly lost.

Son Volt's Trace is better than any Wilco record. Just my opinion. Nobody seems to recognize SV. I know some younger people who think Wilco is like the best band in the world, and they've never even heard a song by SV. Don't get it.

Roger Martin

Three bands came directly out of Uncle Tupelo: Wilco, Son Volt, and The Bottle Rockets. All three are terrific in their own ways. But for my personal taste, I would rank them Wilco (possibly the best rock and roll band in the world at this point in time), Uncle Tupelo, The Bottle Rockets, and then Son Volt.

I just can't REALLY get into songs when Jay sings. No offense to the deceased, but I just can't. If you like UT, but prefer Wilco, check out Jeff Tweedy at The Vic. He sings a bunch of old UT songs including "Gun". His voice is just more emotionally moving to me.
