Which SYR gets yout juices flowing?
 

I say. You only let us choose one.
I like multiples. As far as getting my juices flowing, I've only fucked to 1-3.

Thanks, toxic. I've had practice on the Fall forum though, so I'm an old hand really!

I think SYR6 is a stupendous piece od work. It's certainly equal to if npot better than the best improvised work by other artists. At times it feels almost scored, but I suspect this is because the group were performing along to a selection of Stan Brakhage films and therefore had something to guide them.

Marvellous.

Anagrama is the best instrumental ever made by SY imo :)

I haven't heard them all, but some of my favorite Sonic Youth songs are on SYR 5.

haven't got a hold of syr6 yet. anyone care to review?

Voted....1-3 are my favorite. SYR 6 is better than I expected it to be.

I've only heard 1-4. So far SYR 1 is my favorite.

I only have SYR4...not a fan. I want to try some of the other ones though. I'll probably get whatever one wins this poll...so vote wisely.

GOD, i dont have any of the SYR series yet. ive thought about buying then a few times before but havent because they are so expensive everywhere.
guess ive gotta save up some money.

I like SYR 1 the best.

Ponce de Leon never found
the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion
Yout' Juice

I've only got the first SYR so I can't be sure. Heard parts of all of them though. Maybe SYR5 because its more noisey, Kim's SYR I call it.

Invito al Cielo is my favorite one...

I'd say:

1) SYR3: Invito al Cielo
2) SYR1: Anagrama
3) SYR6: Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui
4) SYR4: Goodbye 20th Century
5) SYR5
6) SYR2: Slaapkamers met Slagroom

But they are all great (I gave them all 18/20 in my reviews)

thats deffinetly not true imo.
anagrama is one of sy's finest for sure but there are soooo many other good instrumentals - tremens for example on the same ep.
that tune makes me wet. ;)

SYR 1 the first one i heard and still my fav

(but ive only heard 1-3)

Never heard them. I'd probably like them.

the last time i was asked this on the old board, i chose syr3... now i don't know, i would have to listen to them again.
alas, the majority of my record collection - including all syrs but one - are far away from me at the moment... so i just cannot vote right now...

plus i still haven't managed to listen to syr6 because i could not find it in a shop... (and i don't want to order it, because i still assume i should be able to find it in a "real" record store)

yes, 3 also.

happy birthday o o o
(I saw it at the bottom of the board)

I don't really know. I've heard 1-5. Having Never Written A Note For Percussion is an amazing song, but I would have to go with 1.

thank you!

gotta be 6 cuz ive been playing it a lot recently and it rocks in a totally different way to the rest of em!

3 makes me damp as a cellar-- all mildewy.

QFT!

you guys liek syr1 better than the rest; what are you, afraid of noise?

WUSSIES!!!!

syr 6 is pretty sweet too

most i've heard are great, even syr5 which isn't really sonic youth

(i'm just kidding about the "wussies" part, ok?)

I haven't heard the sixth one yet,
but the first one has been my favorite

I'm kind of partial to SY2.....probably because it was kind of like a teaser for A Thousand Leaves.

I really want to hear the rest of the SYR's. Some of my favorite songs are on em' like Improvision Ajoutee, whiuch I can really connect with. They're just really expensive

i only have
SYR 1,2,3,6

my fav is SYR 2

Hey, I bought mines for about 4€ (about 4/5$) on Amazon...

Well, I have all of the syr's (smug face) and I voted syr 2 almost completely because of sshelley's performance on the first track; he snares in the glorious noise like a dominatrix - the bit where it changes key (or tunes up) and then Steve comes in with a new, quicker, harder beat to pen in the scratchy madness commenses is pure rock-gasmic.

2nd choice - SYR3, cause JO'R is god.

it has to syr 1.i like every track on it.

I voted, SYR4. To me, the way they use all of those instruments so simply, & what a great sound comes from it, it's just fucking amazing. I do have a soft spot for SYR4 because it was the first SYR that I had listened to.

Hey, "Musical Perspectives" all the way.

DOn't foget that it can be pretty hard to find them for sale, especially if you don't get them as soon as they come out.

SYR6 rules either way!
