good thoughts man, thats the glory of SY, so many albums and the different albums will appeal to different people, prob not a good idea to have em on while you revise though... tsk tsk.

like yr name too shakeyjake
kinda rolls off the tongue.
hope to see you on here more often.

Yeah, stick to the SYRs for when you're revising.

AND GET OFF THE FUCKING INTERNET!!!!!!! ;)

daydream nation

EVOL
washing machine
murray street
Experimental jet set trash & no star

i had an SYR on full blast one day and my Dad came in the room and thought i was fuckin mad to be listening to it. he said he "worked in a factory for 8 years beside a machine that sound like that!"

i go crazy if i dont revise with music, absolutely mad haha

but maybe i should get the hell off the internet haha

what SYRs does everyone recommend as a good start?

does anyone have any idea is SY will be making an appearance in the UK soon i know ATP but im hoping something cheaper and before december

i figure we deserve it

ha ha ha, my mum just scrunches up her face and leaves the room.

Sonic Youth as last? The burning spear is killer...

I think it's impossible to rate them they're all on my number one.

It's true that Dirty isn't very popular with the fans isn't it? It was my 'gateway' SY album, back in the day... But now I can see how 'different' it is from Sister and Daydream Nation.

welcome shakeyjake

my list is
daydream nation
bad moon rising
nyc g&f
washing machine
goo
everything else except...........
experimental jet set

i havent included the syrs as they are a separate entity

Dirty is a great thing ti have in the SY canon - a thumping rock record with plenty of feedback and noise - it's so much fun!

I don't really know NYCG&F, so I won't include it. And I don't include the SYR's either.

EVOL
Daydream Nation
Sister
Murray Street
Bad Moon Rising (it might switch place with Murray)
Confusion is Sex
The Whitey Album
Sonic Youth
Goo
Washing Machine
A Thousand Leaves
Sonic Nurse
Dirty
Experimental Jet Set Trash And No Star

I forgot Rather Ripped... It goes on one of the sides of Nurse...

im surprised how unpopular EJSTNS is...

Can't this thread simply die a sudden death?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is rivising/revision (I'm assuming its a UK term)?

I was curious what that meant as well.

i only have 6 their records. i need more!

re·vi·sion (rĭ-vĭzh'ən)
n.

1. The act or process of revising.
2. A revised or new version, as of a book or other written material.

revisionary re·vi'sion·ar'y adj.
var tcdacmd="cc=edu;dt";

Or you could just say it's the same thing as studying for a test.

Thanks, thats what I figured it meant, but just wanted to be sure. You learn something new everyday on these boards!

You lost me at your Ghost World avatar. It's too small for me to read - what does it say?

A Thousand Leaves
Sister
Daydream Nation
Washing Machine
The Whitey Album
NYC Ghosts & Flowers
EVOL
Rather Ripped
Goo
Dirty
Bad Moon Rising
Sonic Nurse
Confusion Is Sex
Murray Street
Sonic Youth
Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star

...maybe.
