15. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot – Wilco (2002)
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot nearly didn’t see the light of day—Wilco’s label famously rejected the album, forcing the band to stream it online for free. Despite this rocky start, the record slowly caught fire, resonating with listeners through its experimental blend of Americana and art rock. Critics and fans alike now hail Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as a defining work of 21st-century indie music, marking Wilco’s creative peak.
