A German band who are generally thought of as a Krautrock band but they're occasionally a great Prog band. You should check them out. Gayest thing. It's almost like girls with make up on.

JC. I could almost cry everytime I listen to it. Its SO heartfelt. You can really feel that the whole band's soul lost something because of Joe's death.

My favourite SY song is the live version of Shaking Hell from the Kill Yr Idols EP, my favourite Thurston song is probably Candle and favourite Lee is probably Hoarfrost. And my favourite thing without vocals is the one off Evol.

Lets not speak of those survival threads, that shit was like Monopoly, endless and no real winners.

I think it would`ve been much easier to say which songs are not their best, but if I have to say one best song, it´s still Reena to me.

Not all Lee's songs are good, but many of them are. For example Walkin Blue and Skip Tracer are lower than average SY song.

I say Genetic, Mote or Hoarfrost. Genetic should have been on original Dirty release.
