Becuz

It doesn't seem accurate, but it's the first one that popped into my head when thinking about the question. I do love it.

Dead-Air 03.17.2008 12:20 AM

"She's in a Bad Mood"

mostly because it was the first thing I ever heard by them and thus it completely changed my life. So if I could only have one song, I'd go back to the beginning for me.

Alexander 03.17.2008 03:53 PM

For the sake of name dropping, either Schizophrenia or Cross the Breeze

ps. piss off


Thats the spirit.. I think threads like these are interesting, because peoples taste in music, and SY in particular, changes all the time.. I agree that SY are about albums, not songs, but I cant really see your point here Diesel.. If you get confused by these threads, I wonder why you bother to post 4000 posts on this forum..

in that case, my would be Dirty Boots, especially ending of that song.

Hyperstation

It has to be Hyperstation for me, its simply the most epic peice of music I've ever heard. I know epic is a shit word to describe music, and I can't tolerate bands like Muse in their desperation to be epic, but it seems so effortless on this track. If I was the band I would have closed the album with this track, Eliminator seems a bit of an anti-climax to DDN. But hey, i'm just happy it exists.

I coulda cried when I read that they played it the night after the one I went to :(

"Tom Violence." Or "Schizophrenia." I'm not sure. Too hard.

Gary Black 03.18.2008 06:33 PM

Has to be Unwind. It was the song that started my whole SY adventure. It has a lot answer for, but what a tune (Diamond Sea is very close behind). :p

nature scene 03.18.2008 07:50 PM

making the nature scene



(Skip Tracer and Sunday to round it out and give me one from each singer)

fluxequalsrad 03.18.2008 10:09 PM

Sweet Shine

great lyrics, really hazey sonic. It effortlessly drifts with a really off putting chord strummed on the bass laying down the rhythem. Its got really great melodies by kim with the perfect sleepy delivery. This song is a total downer though, like a wasted summer or something.

"I dreamed that you were my vacation, woke to find desire and dislocation"

Death & the Maiden 03.18.2008 11:56 PM

Eric's Trip is my favourite Lee song.
The Sprawl is my favourite Kim song.
Titanium Expose is my favourite Thurston song.

rossboss 03.19.2008 09:44 AM

A tough one!
Although with a gun to my head I'd prob have to go for New York City Ghosts & Flowers...........

lots of love for this song in this thread.. IMO, NYC Ghosts+Flowers = an inferior 'I Dreamed I Dream'.

Pessimist 03.30.2008 04:42 PM

jean-nicolas 05.09.2008 06:05 AM

Anagrama is for me the best song live and on record.
I also really like karen koltrane but the live version was not as good as on the album so my number one is Anagrama.

jon boy 05.09.2008 06:47 AM

either schizophrenia (ypb version) or i love her all the time.

waltermcphilp 05.09.2008 01:41 PM

expressway to yr skull.

DON 05.10.2008 05:17 AM

Definitly Karen Koltrane
