Wilco

Dari Wikipedia, ensiklopedia gratis. Wilco adalah band rock alternatif Amerika yang berbasis di Chicago, Illinois. Band ini dibentuk pada tahun 1994 oleh sisa anggota grup country alternatif Paman Tupelo setelah kepergian penyanyi Jay Farrar. Formasi Wilco sering berubah, dengan hanya penyanyi Jeff Tweedy dan bassis John Stirratt yang tersisa dari inkarnasi aslinya. Sejak awal tahun 2004, anggota lainnya adalah gitaris Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalis Pat Sansone dan Mikael Jorgensen, dan drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco telah merilis tujuh album studio, satu album ganda live, dan tiga kolaborasi: dua dengan Billy Bragg, dan satu dengan The Minus 5. Musik Wilco terinspirasi oleh berbagai artis dan gaya, termasuk Bill Fay dan Televisi, dan pada gilirannya memengaruhi musik oleh sejumlah band rock alternatif modern. Band ini berlanjut di negara alternatif Paman Tupelo di album debutnya A.M. (1995), namun sejak itu memperkenalkan lebih banyak aspek eksperimental pada musik mereka, termasuk unsur rock alternatif, dan pop klasik. Wilco menarik perhatian media untuk album keempatnya, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002), dan kontroversi seputarnya. Setelah sesi rekaman selesai, Reprise Records menolak album tersebut dan mengeluarkan Wilco dari label. Sebagai bagian dari kesepakatan pembelian, Reprise memberi Wilco hak atas album tersebut secara gratis. Setelah streaming Foxtrot di situsnya, Wilco menjual album tersebut ke Nonesuch Records pada tahun 2002. Kedua label rekaman tersebut adalah anak perusahaan dari Warner Music Group, sehingga salah satu kritikus mengatakan bahwa album tersebut menunjukkan "betapa kacaunya bisnis musik di awal abad kedua puluh satu." Yankee Hotel Foxtrot adalah rilisan Wilco yang paling sukses hingga saat ini, terjual lebih dari 670.000 eksemplar. Wilco memenangkan dua Grammy Awards untuk album studio kelima mereka, A Ghost Is Born tahun 2004, termasuk Album Musik Alternatif Terbaik. Wilco merilis album studio ketujuh mereka, Wilco (Album), pada tanggal 30 Juni 2009; per Juli 2010, telah terjual 271.000 eksemplar.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released seven studio albums, a live double album, and three collaborations: two with Billy Bragg, and one with The Minus 5. Wilco's music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, including Bill Fay and Television, and has in turn influenced music by a number of modern alternative rock acts. The band continued in the alternative country of Uncle Tupelo on its debut album A.M. (1995), but has since introduced more experimental aspects to their music, including elements of alternative rock, and classic pop. Wilco garnered media attention for its fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002), and the controversy surrounding it. After the recording sessions were complete, Reprise Records rejected the album and dismissed Wilco from the label. As part of a buy-out deal, Reprise gave Wilco the rights to the album for free. After streaming Foxtrot on its website, Wilco sold the album to Nonesuch Records in 2002. Both record labels are subsidiaries of Warner Music Group, leading one critic to say the album showed "how screwed up the music business is in the early twenty-first century." Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's most successful release to date, selling over 670,000 copies. Wilco won two Grammy Awards for their fifth studio album, 2004's A Ghost Is Born, including Best Alternative Music Album. Wilco released their seventh studio album, Wilco (The Album), on June 30, 2009; as of July 2010, it had sold 271,000 copies.
