Thanks for the recommendation Andrew, Wilco were yet another of those bands that had passed me by, but I tried YHF and there's some great stuff on it, think my favourite on first listen is 'I'm the Man Who Loves You'. I'll give the Tweedy newsletter a go as well. Tim
I think I'm one of about 12 people that like "Summerteeth" over YHF. I'm a sucker of sugar-sweet pop. and "I'm Always In Love" is about as close as Wilco gets to it. I'd set it aside for awhile, but as vaccines started becoming available, I started seeing people posting picks of getting the jab with "A Shot In The Arm" playing (heh). That was enough for me to dig it out again.
I think the closest I came to your playing YHF for friends was with America Music Club's "San Francisco." To me ear, that record is everything. To most of my buddies it was...the opposite. Anything by Jawbreaker makes me want to hug the guys from my block. Makes me miss the days when we all went to shows together. Truly an era of good music and bad decisions...

Summerteeth! Another classic. I don't think I've heard of America Music Club at all. Guess I know what I'm listening to this afternoon!
