Just for kicks, I voted for Grudzy in the AL. I always kinda liked him. Notice how CC is still listed as an Indian?

I was a huge Uncle Tupelo fan – and a huge Son Volt fan for the first few albums, but I lost interest after awhile. I kinda feel like Wilco won that battle hands down.

but I haven’t liked the last few – too much experimental stuff. I loved the first two Son Volts, but I really hated the Jay Farrar solo record
