Kin Woo asked:

<< which is better: "Being There" or "Summer Teeth"? >>

If you like music the way you say you do (heartbreakingly beautiful and 
sincere) then Being There is right up your alley.  Most of it is acoustic 
dirges and pedal steel lullabyes that are complemented so beautifully by Jeff 
Tweedy's soothing voice that it almost kills you.  Its not so country as its 
been labeled.  Its sort of the borderline between early Stones and Woody 
Guthrie, with more of the former than the latter.  
Summerteeth is more racous and Beach Boys-ish, but its great as well.  Its 
not as personal or affecting at BT, but if you like rock more than gentle pop 
you'll like it.  Its got alot more synths and screaming and moogs.
Personally I recommend Being There.  Its not that Summerteeth is a bad album, 
but when you try to follow up a contemporary classic anything you do will 
pale in comparison.  Well, I hope this helped more than confused and that you 
enjoy whichever you choose...later
