I like "Karen Revisited" first and foremeost--love that line something about "the sheets went up like gasoline" or whatever; I also like the lengthy improvisation towards the end--whatever concert it was culled from. And "Karen Revisited" was the better title, considering that 4 years earlier A Thousand Leaves had "Karen Kolrane"; "Karenology" just sounds like an overstatement or something.

Second best would probably be "Rain On Tin"--great jamming number.

Oh! by the way, the Japanese/European bonus track some of you have been referring to is "Street Sauce", which, I believe, is a segment from a longer number on the Pola X or Demonlover soundtrack--I'm not quite sure at the moment, I get these things confused, there being so much non-mainstream material out there in there repertoire...

demonrail666 04.20.2007 12:17 PM

Karen Revisited.

Arguably the last great song (SYR aside) Sonic Youth have recorded.

fluxequalsrad 04.20.2007 12:27 PM

No love for empty page eh... Yeah I agree with Karen Revisited though.

Magic Wheel Memory 04.20.2007 02:05 PM

I don't get it. You ask us what's our favorite song "off" Murray Street, but all of the choices are songs on Murray Street. Which is it? ;)

k-krack 04.20.2007 02:31 PM

Radults has moved into my number one (taken away from Karenology).

I don't get what the deal with Pastic Sun is... it is such a fucking rad song.

Torn Curtain 04.21.2007 09:01 AM

Sympathy.

Derek 04.21.2007 01:56 PM

Karenology.

Chaffie 04.22.2007 11:31 PM

Karenology.

With Rain on Tin close behind. Both of those songs are flawless. The album is too.

LDopa 04.22.2007 11:33 PM

Rain on Tin.

PAULYBEE2656 04.23.2007 06:25 AM

................45 ish minutes later..... rain on tin is the victor!

nicfit 04.23.2007 06:27 AM

I voted rain on tin.

pbradley 04.23.2007 07:48 AM

Hm, I don't know. Murray Street always comes across as tedious to me. I have to be in the right mood and even still Rain on Tin loses my interest after a while. Karen Revisited is pobably my favorite just because the first three minutes is beautiful. Communication Notice comes in second, fucking cool ass riff right off.

ZEROpumpkins 04.23.2007 08:17 AM

Rain on Tin.

musicfallinglikesnow 04.23.2007 09:40 AM

Karenology. I love it when Lee sings ASK-ME-IF-I-CARE, and a common place becomes epic. All the emotion in it including the instrumental break.

MARKJONES 05.26.2009 03:52 PM

Sympathy for the strawberry is fresh and epic.

automatic bzooty 05.26.2009 04:52 PM

rad adults.

demonrail666 05.26.2009 05:01 PM

Rain on Tin.

We all hope
To signal kin
Rays of gold
Now rain on tin
Gather round
Gather friends
Never fear
Never again

EVOLghost 05.26.2009 06:01 PM

ugh too hard.

EVOLghost 05.26.2009 06:02 PM

Karen Revisited or rain on tin or radical Adults or plastic sun.

EVOLghost 05.26.2009 06:02 PM

(I voted rain on tin)

Kuwa_Slayne 05.26.2009 10:00 PM

Karen Revisited. One of my favorite SY tunes ever. That song can lift my spirits or bring me down. Depends on my mood.

joe11121 05.26.2009 10:03 PM

RAAAIN on tin!

canabero 05.26.2009 10:05 PM

Radical adults! that noisy part drives me crazy.

Death & the Maiden 05.27.2009 12:02 AM

Rain on Tin or Karen Revisited

_slavo_ 05.27.2009 04:13 AM

Empty Page.

greedrex 05.27.2009 04:56 AM

all of them.
Their most coherent piece of work ever.

RanaldoNecro 05.27.2009 07:39 AM

I have had some lost moments listening to Sympathy....

But in the last year also I have learned to appreciate Radical as well.

Schizophrenia 05.27.2009 08:00 AM

Karen Revisited.

[Sandbag] 05.27.2009 09:00 AM

alex_could 05.27.2009 12:36 PM

Rain on Tin or Disconnection Notice. I've decided to support the latter.

Tuff Gnarl 05.27.2009 02:24 PM

Disconnection Notice.
