WRONG WRONG WRONG!! OMG YOU'RE SO WRONG!
Sometimes, that's not the case. If I remember well Thurston wrote Flower.

Not really, see EJSTNS or Murray Street. They all definitely contribute to what makes a song good, absolutely. They wouldn't be SY if they didn't.

I agree with this theory entirely and have discussed it with friends before.

The more Lee songs on a record the better it is

DDN= 3 Lee songs ! part of why its the best
Washing Machine and Sister- 2 Lee songs (yes i consider pipeline/kill time two songs)
Dirty would have been better if they included both Lee songs "genetic" and "wish fullfillment". (I cant believe they almost broke up over this !)

I really wish Lee would write more on sonic youth records. I havent heard a bad lee song yet on one. When i grab a new Sonic Youth record i can always count on at least the Lee song being good. Has Lee ever said why he doesnt have more songs on the record ? Is he just not as prolific?

What I feel is that the amount of time without singing is proportional to the greatness of their albums. However, the proportion has a constant near 0.00001. My rankings for the albums change constantly. For the longest time, I wasn't feeling Dirty, but as of late it's one of my favorites. Still, a long, pretttty instrumental usually catches my attention. ALSO, I'm sorry some of you don't get Rain on Tin...

Does anybody really know the story behind that one?

I think the physical weight of the albums is proportionate to how good they are.

That'll be it.

That explains why Experimental Jetset has no liner notes or booklet.

I have to say, that the lee songs almost every time at least on of the gighlights of every album. and its definately one of the most waited for moments when they are releasing a new wreckchord

Lee does have a lot of stand out tracks and for only havin 1/2 songs per album he really makes his shots count.

Rock on Lee
