Name one Sonic Youth song you think people should give a deep listen to again.
 

Lee Is Free. Come back to it and really listen.

Secret Girl.
Eeriness as it gets

karen koltrane.amazing.

rain king is another underrated song.

What about
"Come and Smash me said the boy with the magic penis"
That song is fantastic

Karen Koltrane, Anagrama and tremens.

10/10 for Lee Is Free Top 40 Squeeze... it's one of my all time favourite sound pieces.

I would urge people to listen to Contre Le Sexisme for the same reasons... Kim's voice is used as an instrument too.

I agree with every single one of those. I'd also add Snare,Girl

No Qeen Blues
Greenlight

I Dreamed I Dream
wish they had done more songs like this, with the dual vocals.
If I only knew where I last left the CD, I would listen to it right now

unwind & peace attack

Ghost Bitch

gets too much condemnation, it is really a great eerie song

Peace Attack for sure.
Hits of Sunshine

white kross

'Cross the Breeze, or Inhuman. Cross the Breeze until you realize it is thee greatest song and Inhuman until you learn it's actually a pop song (along with CIS, because that also is a pop record).

J.C.

The best example of structured noise in their career IMO. Throughout the whole song the guitars seem to be teetering on the edge of unorganised chaos, but its only near the end when kim's vocals stop that they actually fall off the edge. Its also one of the only songs by anyone thats made me actually cry just due to its sheer beauty (and i'm not an emo!)

Hmm. 'Sweet Shine'.

Peace Attack - great drummin and jammin
Dude ranch Nurse - one of kim's greatest songs, may sound dull at first but there's a lot of great intricate guitar work on it
Free city rhymes - one of the song that makes you doubt if that muthafuckin Brent diCredenzo (that arrogant guy from pitchfork) gave a listen before bashing the record...

Always had a soft spot for this tune.

I'm Insane (the song).

cross the breeze is indeed just fucking fantabulicious song.

I think we should all go back and re-listen to

MOTE

It is the greatest lee song, the most yin yang split of 4 minutes of song and 4 minutes of skronk, the most beautiful spacious skronk around. I love lee's skronk

orange rolls and angel's spit

Rain King

streamxsonic subway

perfect subway clang. shame he can't remember the words.

Early American. like burning embers...

that's one of my favorite youth songs.

Unwind
A beautiful peice

Saucer-like also. I got those confused

love the duet in that song.

Death to or Friends
Wonderful song

yeah peace attack
the good and the bad

Also Starfield Road for all you EJSTNS haters.

I was gonna say how much I loved Toxa..then I saw that Finding Nobody put it in bold...but...

UNWIND ...for sure! For years I have thought I was the only poster here who realized the fucking BEAUTY of this song.

One of the BEST Sonic Youth builds of any song...The way each instrument slowly adds to itself...the shake of Steve's maracas (spelling?) The Steve/Thurston harmonizing...the slow, wonderful note bends...man...there is just so much to love about this song...best melody/build/atmosphere...just everything.

Kudos guys...glad to see others choose this one!

Cross the Breeze is the only Sonic Youth song that is always in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. It's fantastic.

the diamond sea........

i want that song played at my funeral. ALL OF IT! ill get wheeled away just as the noise kicks in.

schizophrenia. i havent listened to sister in aaaages

Damn board won't let me rep you for this Whore boy............................................... ......................................!

yeah, i find it interesting that even though I own the entire Sonic Youth catalogue and have been an avid fan for years, that there're still a couple songs that surprise me when I go back and relisten to records. It's like "Wait, did I really ever listen to this song?"

hey man, DIAMOND SEA will be played at MY funeral, and the whole funerla will consist of diamond sea and my casket and the whole thing must be played and honored and then when it is finished the funeral is finished.

Mote
