[quote=Diesel]catholic block. steve's drumming style on this song was never tried before and he hasn't done it again since!? the fast drum rolls, the dance-ish hi hat twang and add to that a trademark lush 80's sy ending (which is too short leaving you wanting more) contribute to my allmighty highly inconsistent opinion.

who the fecks with me? i'm right about the drums aren't i. ybaybaa

I'm with you, diesel. First time I heard this song, I said :" wow, is it possible ?
This is a fucking good sound ! Nobody can do better." Then, My second choise is Schzophrenia.

Bal 01.02.2007 07:07 AM

expressway. and 100 others.

satirejohn 01.02.2007 08:43 AM

The Sprawl

others: Tom Violence, Schizophrenia, Expressway

whorefrost 01.02.2007 08:45 AM

it's sort of the Sprawl

Trasher02 01.02.2007 08:48 AM

Mote
Tom Violence
Teenage Riot

And all the other sy songs in no particular order.

porkmarras 01.02.2007 08:56 AM

Too many.

farmhouse 01.02.2007 10:28 AM

right now . . . because this exercise is impossible . . . and also because i wanted to throw in some love for rather ripped . . . i'm gonna opt for pink steam. that fucking tune has been getting me out of bed for the past month. hot damn it's a sexy dirty bitch of a song . . . lots of beautiful foreplay before thurston's release . . . (did i say that?) . . . okay. . . but yeah, sure . . . i doubt it's an all time favourite . . . mine would be the same as most others here . . . the obvious epics that encapsulate the youth's force. early shit basically. evol just kicks too much ass.

James Blonde 01.02.2007 11:44 AM

James Blonde says Ghost Bitch.

EvdWee 01.02.2007 04:18 PM

golden blue for sure

the intro can make me cry...

Dead-Air 01.03.2007 02:22 AM

I can't believe I'm the first to say "Brother James"!

"Ghost Bitch" came close, and for that matter, "Justice is Might".

musicfallinglikesnow 01.03.2007 07:32 PM

Theresa's Sound World, Unwind...

drrrtyboots 01.03.2007 07:36 PM

Incinerate!!!

No. It's tough but i'd either say Cotton Crown or Schizophrenia.

stadtgorilla 01.03.2007 09:06 PM

Tom V.

It's hard to pick out ONE gem when you've got several chests of treasure filled to the brim...i could make a list of at least a dozen songs. then again, why bother...i just love this band too much...and wonder why tom violence is mentioned so seldom...when i first heard that song, i wanted to change my name...and yes, brother james would have to be on my list!

soapbars 01.03.2007 09:43 PM

no queen blues
pipline/kill time
trilogy

Sugar Kane 01.04.2007 10:17 AM

Yes! Pink Steam is such a good song!
Intense and pure, straight to the heart, sexy song.
Love it.

i'm with you there. when bad mp3s of the new record started appearing on the net, i was quite horrified about the reviews on this board. i remember people blaming s.y. for producing a commercial record because the members had families to feed...that's so gross. lee did an interview with a leftist berlin-based weekly called 'jungle world' just before their amazing berlin gig on sept. 16th where he talks about the new record using quite traditional song-structures and how implementing them was a radical step for them. but nothing that they planned. and notes the irony that their last record on a major album was their most 'pop' record. it's a really cool interview. i'll try to translate it and post it here or on my website.
the record grows if you hear those songs live, but i loved the record before the show. it's such a great record. i listen to it all the time. (when i'm not listening to 'the destroyed room')

toxic johnny 01.05.2007 07:13 PM

Right here, right now, this minute, this second... Eyeliner...
followed by... The Ineffable Me.

Subject to change hourly...

Sugar Kane 01.09.2007 07:14 AM

Well just because rather ripped is a more 'pop' album it doesn't make it a bad one..it's just different and i find it interesting to explore sy in pop-ish style too...plus live it sounds fantastic ;)

...yes stadtgorilla i'd be interested in the interview

i was supposed to quote a message but can't get the hang of this so excuse me for the mess.... :|

pure sexual tension build up. mass instrumental foreplay until thurston errrr explodes on the mic . . . joking aside, the lyrics are brilliant . . . just came by to run you over .. . . just came by to see you quiver . . . . fuck yeah! . . . and killer killer eyes is just so right. frantic fuck of a song.

"I love her all the time" was my first SY song. ;)

kingcoffee 01.11.2007 06:57 PM

Eric's Trip. At least that's my favorite Lee song. Don't know what the best SY song is.....

Danny Himself 01.11.2007 07:07 PM

Sugar Kane. It's part of my email address and numerous other account names on various websites. I love it.

I've gotta say that's pretty close to mine, but I'm just not that big on ghost bitch. Wish Fulfillment is my favourite SY song, even though it's not a very good representation of their sound, but godammit Lee is a legend.

DemonBox 01.12.2007 09:32 AM

Schizophrenia
