I realize liberals are supposed to like Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Try as I might, I just can't appreciate this lo-fi nerd noodling.

I was wrong and most rock critics were right. Upon further listening, it's excellent.

I shouldn't have been so rash with my judgment as more often than not the best recordings are those that require at least several listenings. Also, I should've known better because I own every one of Wilco's releases (including their seminal Mermaid Ave. recordings).
