Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was widely acclaimed as one of 2002s best albums, appearing in year-end lists of Mojo, NME, Q, Rolling Stone, and Uncut, among many others. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot also was featured in multiple decade-end lists, with Rolling Stone naming it #3 Album of the 2000s, as well as many Greatest Albums of All Time lists, including in the NME.Among Yankees inspirations was a recording Tweedy bought at Tower Records in the late 1990s, The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations. As Bob Mehr points out in his new album note, the record got deep under Tweedys skin. Tweedy said in his 2017 memoir, Lets Go (So We Can Get Back), It was as fascinating to me as anything being made by actual musicians using actual instruments I wanted to know why it was so hypnotic to me. Why could I listen to hours of this stuff, even though I had no clue what any of them were saying. That question became the foundation for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot the way people communicated or ultimately failed to communicate.
