Washing Machine
it's got so many brilliant tracks, namely Diamond Sea and the Jam session that accomponies it
indeed
i thought i would be able to be the first to say this album!boo. it is truly a masterpiece. Diamond Sea really is something else.
dirty
cos it's one of the first albums I bought.
sentimentalist that I am...
I like EVOL the most...
I'm really really trying to get into this,
but i really cannot.
what am i doing wrong?
hmm
loads of people say that.
Well I love listening to it late at night...
But I can't really help you other than the usual "listen to it more" shtick...
Hmmm
okay, i'll keep at it.
me too
i find it really really dull. i'm not a huge sonic youth fan in the first place, mind.
+1 for EVOL
I love the sound on it, the reverb makes it seem quite dark.. I think of EVOL as being dusk, Sister being day and Daydream Nation as being dawn.
In the Kingdom #19 is one of my fave SY songs as well.
...and that's exactly the reason I like it.
The sound of the guitar on Shadow of a Doubt and In the Kingdom just have that dark atmosphere about them, and the reverb and the occasional bit of feedback adds to it. Plus, Kim's singing on most of the songs is great in that quiet and intimating way.
*intimidating
Yeah, I love Shadow of a Doubt
the guitars almost sound like a whole piano being tipped over at one stage.
Tom Violence too! And Expressway to yr Skull.
Yup!
Great songs.
Sonic Nurse
Peace Attack, Unmade Bed and Dude Ranch Nurse in particular.
wewerewerewolvesonce +1
Can't fault Sonic Nurse.
Then Dirty >>> Goo >>> Daydream Nation >>> Evol/ Sister >>> >>> Washing Machine >>> Murray Street
Although, to be fair, i've hardly listened to Murray St. Is it worth a purchase?
Murray Street
is tres good, worth sticking with.
I really like Experimental Jet Set too, although my vote's for Evol
confusion is sex
maybe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sister, definitely
It's one of my favourite albums, full stop.
and
thousand leaves. and murray street.
Surley
Everyones fav is Dirty?
just a treat start to finish.
simple as.
goo
disappearer, mildred pierce, kool thing (TELL IT LIKE IT IS! YEEE! WUUURD UP!)
it also has mote on it!
Lee Ranaldo songs ftw!!!!
washing machine
hands down!!!!
yeah Lee
rules - Hey Joni & Erics Trip ftw!
Wish Fulfilment!
Sister and
Daydream Nation!
Murray Street
although I fluctuate fairly regularly.
Murray Street set up the modern Sonic Youth... and it's when Jim O'Rourke started to be really really really awesome for them. Also, it's a perfect album.
Don't make me choose!
All of them.
(except NYC ghosts and flowers which is a MASSIVE let-down)
NYC is pretty whack.
I'm not hugely into Thousand Leaves either.
a thousand leaves or sister
sister
top 5:
Daydream Nation
Sister
EVOL
Goo
Confusion is Sex
I always thought
Dirty, but recently i've been coming back to murray street over and over again. That and thurstons moore's new solo album.
I like
Dirty best.
It has wish Fulfilment on it.
P.s. I've just uploaded a couple of SY tracks on my blog. One of them is rare, I think (not sure if the extended Dirty boots on the re-issue the Rock & Roll Heaven version).
Link in my profile.
Dirty/Sister/Daydream Nation
Murray Street
probably
Sonic Nurse or Murray Street.
or Goo
or Evol
or Sister
or Washing Machine
i can't choose :(
