Brother James.
well, maybe not the 'best', but it's my favourite.

when I first heard the intro to Bro James live I fucking flipped out and it was so awesome.......

Brother James, Shaking Hell (Live), Ghost Bitch, Flower.

Such a hard question!
I wanna say The Sprawl, Shadow of a Doubt, My Friend Goo, Brother James, Snare Girl, Unmade Bed, I love you Golden Blue, Wildflower Soul, Death Valley 69, Stereo Sanctity, Mote, Swimsuit Issue, Sweet Shine, one of those definitely.

I may have to go with the Sprawl.

ok just listened to it and it game me chills. totally the sprawl is pretty close to my favorite. If any song were possible. I remember very clearly where i was- what i was doing- the way i felt - my pov. Everything- about the first time i heard that song feels like it just happened.

YES!

That or Wish Fulfillment for me, those songs truly elevate Dirty to the point where it repulses me when people talk shit about it. I also adore Turquoise Boy.

Death Valley '69

Lee really should have wrote more songs with SY, the band is perfect for his style

impossible..

Marilyn Moore or Rain on Tin

Pacific Coast Highway for me - can't tell you how much I really dig it!!!

I thought the question was, which is the best Sonic Youth song.

I think this is impossible.

MOTE

"The Sprawl". I love the whole song to death, of course, but the "section" that starts past the four-minute mark is probably my absolutely favorite piece of music, of art, by anyone, EVER. Too bad that the only time I saw them live they did the, um, "Sprawl Breeze Medley", in which that part of the song is jettisoned.

Why is this thread been bumped, I thought we resolved this question already :cool: :cool:
