Not a big fan of either of these, but while I have played and enjoyed the Wilco one, that National just never stuck after multiple tries after hearing it praised by others. The Wilco one also name checks all sorts of local places so that makes it fun for me.

I could hardly muster the effort to vote, but I went with Wilco.

Actually even though YHF is far from my favorite Wilco, it still blows The National away.

No, it's not.

But, given the median age of this board, considering when Obner began, it's not surprising that nostalgia has played a ridiculous part, and continues to, with regards to this album.
