The part with the slide guitar is great. Also, this is too dark and intense to close YHF.

Beautiful, but I have to skip it when the numbers station sample kicks in. Same deal with Gyroscope by Boards of Canada.

There isn't a single doubt in my mind that this is one of the greatest songs ever written and I am humbled to be in this generation to appreciate it first hand.

Every time I hear that creepy "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" part coming up, I get chills. Wonderful song.

As others have said, this album could not have ended here. Poor Places is the 1million frames per second of a half full wine glass smashing to the floor; Reservations is the dust that settles in the days, months and years later.

This was voted as the best song Tweedy ever wrote on ViaChicago (Wilco fan forum) and the pick makes a lot of sense. This is quintessential Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. YHF is an oeuvre-defining masterpiece. It all adds up. I always think about the suite Poor Places-Reservations when I think about YHF. They're one and the same glorious experimental triumph for me.
