Probably the s/t or RR, but I still like 'em. I don't know. "Worst" and "Sonic Youth" don't usually appear in the same sentence for me.

not too keen on EJST&NS or NYG&F...
but also have the ability to thoroughly enjoy any SY tune...

News flash:
Most fans hate the most recent release by an artist the most. They become so familiar with their older material, they set unrealistic expectations which cannot possibly be met. It's how the human mind works.

I dnt totally agree. But I do agree. I think a lot of fans will get more into RR down the road. I've never really understood the hate it gets. It has some really great songs. Some good ones. A couple of meh ones. It's not like a beginning-to-end-shit fest. Plus, like I always have to throw in: "Reena" is one of the best songs of the 00's.

Anyway, I can't really think of a "worst album." If pressed, I'd probably say SYR6 is my least favorite. But there's a time & place for each of their releases where it will make me happy.

"Panty Lies" rules. But "My Friend Goo" is definitely their worst song. Ever.

(what's the worst album?) to my mind The Eternal is

This thread kills me. For me, this question is akin to 'Which finger would you rather have chopped off in an industrial accident?"

Your mind has steered you wrong.

Rather Ripped is probably their weakest album to date, but that's a relative term.

automatic bzooty · 04.30.2009, 06:48 PM

I reckon Nurse is my least listened to, but it is by no means a bad album.

Sonic Youth 37 · 04.30.2009, 06:49 PM

In The Fishtank

If we're really counting everything then I think the Whitey Album is also beyond horrible. Another idea that sounded good to them but came off poorly.

The Whitey Album has some great tracks on it, especially MacBeth.

I personally just don't really enjoy it. Always makes me want to listen to something else from them.

Dirty I guess. Though a 1000 leaves always leave me with mixed feelings as well.

duderanchnurse · 04.30.2009, 08:54 PM

Worst albums
1- Rather Ripped
2- Murray Street
3- EJSTANS

They remain great albums though

booooooo i love it!

worst songs are definitely What A Waste, Lights Out and Sleepin Around (the ones that kill RR)

Death & the Maiden · 04.30.2009, 09:07 PM

I think their worst songs are Mary-Christ and Cinderella's Big Score.
