I always seem to forget about Unmade Bed, but then when I hear it, I'm always blown away. Next for me would probably be Teen Age Riot. Of course when I first got into Sonic Youth, this track was a standout. I just listened to it the other day for the first time in a while and was really digging it. I still wish the intro was its own track. That could never be overlooked. I'd say number three is Dirty Boots. It's a fantastic track, but I hardly ever play it. Number four could be Tokyo Eye. Man, that song is really rocking in the middle. Finally, I'd say Marilyn Moore (...even had to check how to spell Marilyn). I don't know why I'm always surprised when I hear how good this song is.

So,
1. Unmade Bed
2. Teen Age Riot
3. Dirty Boots
4. Tokyo Eye
5. Marilyn Moore

Funny, all Thurston vocals.

three of these are singles... three of their most popular singles. I can't really agree that they're overlooked.

(edit: technically 4 of them were singles if you count the live version of MM released on a 7" )

3. Any track off EJST&NS (my first new SY album)
4. Washing Machine (title track)
5. Hits of Sunshine (nice lyrics)

The question asked: "What are according to you the 5 most overlooked SY songs?"

Not according to what gets played on the radio. Maybe most fans pay more attention to the singles. I don't.

Edit: As for most of the lists on here, those are tracks I play constantly. The five I listed are awesome, but I tend to forget about them... i.e. "overlooked." That fact that some of them are singles is irrelevant.

If I might offer a recommendation, perhaps SY would consult this thread when preparing to rehearse their next tour?

It's hard to calculate a baseline of popularity. Radio is out--I never listen and I don't think they play SY anyway. The only sources of ratings on individual tracks are threads on this board and your own subjective taste, unless I'm missing something. Cool thread.
