My Top 1000 Songs #186: Jesus, Etc.

But when it comes to the Wilco song that's found it's way onto the most mixtapes and playlists, "Jesus, Etc." wins hands-down. It's beautiful, melodic, entrancing; the sort of song you reach for if you meet someone who doesn't (yet) love Wilco and need to quickly win them over.
