Is Sonic Youth your favorite band?

screamingskull · 02.22.2007, 05:32 PM

Well are they?, Poll on it's way.

Hip Priest started a thread like this when the board first opened, http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...th+favouri te
But that was ages ago, new people have arrived and old people have sadly left.

and opinion's change, So what is your opinion now?

If Sonic Youth is not your favorite band then WHO IS???

(Sorry for staring so many Poll's recently)

king_buzzo · 02.22.2007, 05:34 PM

no, but theyre in top 3 bands.

jennthebenn · 02.22.2007, 05:35 PM

yes...after 16 years, they are still number one to me. oh, i won't deny
i have been tempted by other juicy fruits. but no one has toppled nyc's
finest from the perch.

screamingskull · 02.22.2007, 05:38 PM

Same here, i have been tempted by a few other bands and musicians, But i always come back to Sonic Youth.

Rob Instigator · 02.22.2007, 05:44 PM

Sonic Youth have been my favorite band since 1987 and they remain that to this day and for all days.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 02.22.2007, 06:03 PM

yes and no, depends.

Inhuman · 02.22.2007, 06:32 PM

I don't assign "favorites", but I can't deny that I hype over them over most of the other stuff I listen to.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 02.22.2007, 06:59 PM

I don't have an absolute favorite. But they are one of my favorites.

Pax Americana · 02.22.2007, 08:05 PM

I don't like to say I have one single favorite band. SY are just one of many favorite bands that I have.

Toilet & Bowels · 02.22.2007, 08:50 PM

no. they were my favourite band for about 13 years, but i was spurned by the Great Betrayal (rather ripped).

deathbyfeedback · 02.22.2007, 09:27 PM

i didnt think it possible to have a favourite band, then i got about ten of their albums and by the time i'd properly listened to them all they were easily way ahead of any other band. they just cover so much ground.

floatingslowly · 02.22.2007, 09:37 PM

emphatically, yes.

and unlike a lot of other bands, their music still gives me goosebumps.

that album owns me!

Toilet & Bowels · 02.22.2007, 09:43 PM

it's the only sonic youth album i don't own

schizophrenicroom · 02.22.2007, 09:46 PM

they're my all-time favorite but sometimes other bands are my favorite for the day.

luxinterior · 02.22.2007, 09:48 PM

No, they're sort of obnoxious.

davenotdead · 02.22.2007, 09:49 PM

no, but they are Top 5....

hotbutterknives · 02.22.2007, 10:43 PM

its almost a tie with like another 1000 bands , but overall , yeah they are my fav, without a doubt, maybe its cuz of nostalgia...who knows?

k-krack · 02.22.2007, 11:10 PM

I don't really have anything after SY in order or anything, but the Youth are my faourite band of all-time, and have been for a couple of years now. They utterly changed my life, and destroyed my concept of what music could be, were, and remain to be the biggest impact on my own music, and just simply are the greatest thing ever. No other bands even come close to the level of respect and love and admiration I have for Sonic Youth.

EMMAh · 02.22.2007, 11:30 PM

Nope.
