Except for mostly everything on Bad Moon Rising, I mean it's been months since I've played that one, but I imagine it would sound as good as ever.

Anyway, my point is that I am more critical of them than any other band, probably. Sometimes they're just boring, and the lyrics are atrocious, and the melodies are juvenile. When they're bad, they're unbearable, like "What A Waste" or some other such nonsense. When they're good, it's all great and there's "Brother James" and all of that.

Come on!!! I don't like What A Waste, (or Sleepin' Around, for that matter) but aside from those lowlights, it's a great album.
Give it a chance, dear!

But no, it's really not a great album. As I recall, all of the songs on it are pretty bad. Calling it a great album is an insult to actual great albums, like Springsteen's "Nebraska" and the first five Mötley Crüe albums.

i walked out of SY's performance at ATP because they played two songs from rather ripped in a row, i couldn't face seeing a band who once meant so much to me humiliate themselves so publicly

porkmarras · 12.17.2006, 09:25 AM

The first signs that i was gonna be let down by them for a long while came after Sonic Nurse came out.I felt really conflicted because a new record by Sonic Youth had always been a religious experience and what i was hearing was the work of a band trapped into a now familiar formula and stubbornly so.I still haven't recovered from that but i buy the records just as i buy the nme even though it's utter cack.And please,i just wish they would stop those stupid dances on stage.C'mon,stuff like that should be reserved for wedding and funeral drinks.

-Pavement
-The Smiths/Morrissey
-New York Dolls
-The Faint

not really ashamed though

I enjoyed SY at ATP, but I was right in the middle of the mosh pit. Still a great and (shudder) important band, I'm just not as into their recent stuff. Doesn't really worry me, I wasn't really into EJST&NS or most of Washing Machine. I'm sure they'll pull another ATL out at some point.

Yes, that.

atsonicpark · 12.17.2006, 01:27 PM

Wow, lots of ridiculous opinions on this board. Can of worms.

Joy Division are AMAZING, one of the all time best bands ever, Unknown Pleasures...? Top 10 albums of all time easily.

The Pixies were a band that never made a bad song.

And "franz ferdinand" and all that shit goes without saying anyway, so no one's confessing to something awful.

But yeah.. magick markers are quite possibly my most hated band (besides mars volta..).

And I never could stomach black flag. As an idea and probably as a live performance, great.. musically, ehhhhh.... greg ginn sucked balls.

Here Comes Your Man and Where Is My Mind are both among some of the worst songs I have ever heard. Wretched, annoying, etc etc...

They had a few good tunes, but they were almost all on Surfer Rosa.

atsonicpark · 12.17.2006, 02:31 PM

Here Comes Your Man? You kidding?!?!?!

....to each their own I guess.

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.17.2006, 03:28 PM

Most part of Bossanova is crap ( "Allison"...what 's that shit ?), in my opinion.

Gimme a break, man. Both of those songs are pretty much... perfect. And Where Is My Mind? is on Surfer Rosa...

Anyways, in response to sonicpark on the last page... The Mars Volta kick ass. No two ways about it.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 12.17.2006, 04:47 PM

its their opinions, ass

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.17.2006, 07:14 PM

Other boring album : Radiohead's OK Computer. The only song I can support is Paranoid Android. And Yorke's voice.... ugly. Like a crashed cat.

afterthefact · 12.18.2006, 01:36 PM

Just about anything Tommy Guerrero anymore. I used to love his stuff, but now I can barely listen to a whole song all the way through. It just get's too repetitive in my opinion.

It's still good love makin' music though...

Agreed, If one likes the Wagon, shouldn't they like most of Green Mind?

Torn Curtain · 12.20.2006, 04:15 PM

Pavement
NY Dolls
The Fall
Beck

Just because it is on their most tolerable album doesn't make it any less supremely annoying.
