# The Best Wilco Guitar Solos > The 17 best Wilco guitar solos, ranked. #1 is Impossible Germany (2007), then Side with the Seeds and At Least That's What You Said. Canonical URL: Wilco moved from alt-country to noisy art rock, with Jeff Tweedy's raw, emotional leads and later Nels Cline's jazz-trained, wildly inventive playing. Cline's work on Impossible Germany made the band an unlikely stop on lists of great modern solos.
