Before they started their own successful bands, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar were boyhood friends who formed a group called Uncle Tupelo in the 1980s. Uncle Tupelo wasn't all that famous or successful in their time, but historically they would prove hugely influential on a generation of alt-country acts.

Even after the success of Tweedy's band Wilco and Farrar's band Son Volt, fans continue to debate over who was in the right.
