Worst Sonic Youth Song Poll!
 

Bubblegum just sucks.

But it's not an SY song, it's a cover version.

Panty Lies sucks. So does Washing Machine. And Junkies Promise.

What is it that you don't like about Bubblegum?

I always thought it was interesting.....What do you think the band was shootiong for with that tune?

dare to insult kim fowley and prepare to live scorned and pointed in your life.

They dont have bad songs

but I always skip drunken butterfly, kool thing and pattern recognition

My Friend Goo

Plastic sun rules.
Fuck.

Oh you did not just diss Washing Machine! From 3 minutes onwards it is pure brilliance.

I chose other because Nic Fit is horrible.

Most of the songs on Rather Ripped are terrible.
Same goes for Nurse.
Plastic Sun is a borefest.
Panty Lies is terrible.

The worst, by far, is still Junkie's Promise.

where's jennthebenn

i am suprised she isn't already shitting on Small Flowers Crack Concrete, which she has rewritten many times, and most of the lyrics are better then what thurston did

for me, Tokyo Eye is the worst, all of Jet Set's problem's are due to the lack of great Thurston songs (Starfield Road, Waist, and In The Mind of the Bourgeois Reader aside), he really took his best and put them on Psychic Hearts

what????

we dont often disagree but
what???????
WHAT???????????????? AND
WHAT THE?????????????????????????????

AGAIN NOT AN SY SONG, ITS A COVER BY IAN MACKAYES OLD BAND THE UNTOUCHABLES.............
thurston always regretted not rerecording that song with proper vocals. that was just a one take jam think i believe that ended up on dirty......

i'm here, just got off work.

small flowers crack concrete is so fucking hideous. thurston trying to do the beat thing NO; lee trying to do it, YES. lee has the voice to pull it off. i'm not sure how thurston is able to read his poetry aloud and not immediately smash a beer bottle over his own head.

small flowers crack concrete
elusive monastery the nyc sex kitten delight
lydia patti and richard a ct boy dream
bearded ginsberg text marijuana

it just goes on like that!

tokyo eye i'm still not sure why you dislike that so intently. it's better than
bourgeois, and damnit that song has thurston shrieking "hop" repeatedly.
which i do adore.

junkie's promise is just blah; self-obsessed and sexxee and androgynous
mind, i really appreciate thurston's sentiments, but they're couched in such
dull tracks. starfield road kinda singlehandedly saves thurston on jet set.

i'm skipping little trouble girl always i'm listening to wm, but wm is just great great.

Right you are. It says that in the deluxe edition liner notes.

I want to vote for My Friend Goo, 'cos the lyrics are shameful... Whatever, I will.

none of the songs mentioned above are awful in my opinion.....

the worst sy tracks for me are contre le sexisme (worst opener ever)
tokyo eye (the song just lacks something, like the album i suppose)
reena (just dont really get it),
lightning (just found it out of place on nyc g&f),
dripping dream,
the neutral,
there is more but cant think

plastic sun rules
washing machine is a gem
streamxsonic subway is thurston in art teacher mode, it rocks
bubblegum is what it says, fun!
panty lies is great ate ate ate ate!

thats the little fucker i forgot. yep dont like it, maybe because it was played to death everywhere when wm came out. the only festering pimple on a porecelain doll face of an album

Panty Lies Sucks!

Junkie's Promise Sucks!

Small Flowers Rules!
