37. Wilco: 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' (2002) Amazingly, Wilco's label refused to release 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' as they believed it had little to no commercial value and would be unsuccessful. Sensing they were not on the same page Wilco split with the label and acquired the rights to the record before beating Radiohead by five years and released the whole thing online for free. The album was then picked up by another record label and went on to sell half a million copies making it Wilco's best selling album to date and showing that sometimes your boss doesn't always know best.

- Absolutely love this list! Although, where are Kaiser Chiefs?
- not good enough really
- Kaiser Chiefs are on our worst albums of the decade countdown
- not enough dance
- I was just thinking about this the other day. Can't argue with most of these although I am missing Beck's Sea Change, Bon Iver and CSS.
