The band makes the American Association of Retired Persons’ list of 2011’s Top 10 Albums for Grown-Ups: “This album strikes the perfect balance of experimentalism (Wilco sometimes goes too far in this department) and easy charm that make Wilco one of the best American bands we’ve had since — well — The Band,” say the AARPists. In what passes for a compliment down at the home, they go on to call The Whole Love “truly listenable.” Which is true, in the sense that it is absolutely possible to listen to The Whole Love.
Congrats to Wilco for making a list that also includes Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett.
Our condolences to Feist.
