I think GOO is better than DDN, itīs less straightforward and a little bit back to the Sister stuff (Dirty is even more). Because talk of the almost every SY album, I think I will rate them again (I know there will be lots of disagreement about my list): 1. Sister 2. EVOL 3. ATL 4. Washing Machine 5. Made In Usa 6. Demonlover 7. Dirty 8. GOO 9. Murray Street 10. Nurse 11. Rather Ripped 12. DDN 13. Eternal 14. Nyc Ghosts & Flowers 15. Sonic Death 16. CIS 17. First 18. BMR 19. Experimental Not put any SYRs into this even SYR9 is also soundtrack. |

No hardness to understand why you prefer Nurse so much, but when you like Nurse so much, why Murray is so low? I think those two have lots in common, the reason why Murray is above Nurse in my list is I just love so much Karen revisited and there are not such a trip in Nurse (well Nurse has I love You Golden Blue thatīs in my top10 sonic songs). I feel also bad to put Experimental in the end of the list, because itīs just so much greater than many other albums, but in my sonicology itīs just the lowest. |

Where You Been and Hand It Over are both great albums, but they have a different feel than Dino with Lou for sure. That mid period Dino is certainly more miss than hit though. I think you're selling the new stuff a little short too. I caught them live last year and it was a great show. With your attitude about the early Beatles stuff all I can say is that you're missing out. That's all great stuff, and although fifty years later it doesn't seem like they were pushing the envelope during that era, they actually were considering the state of music at the time. I'm always surprised that people try to write off the early Beatles stuff or be too "cool" to appreciate it. Without those early Beatles records almost all the music after would be vastly different. Sy certainly had some turmoil during the first three or four geffen records, and while Dirty is amongst my favorites, Goo and Jet Set are amongst the least favorites. |

Sorry, I must have given the wrong impression. I DO like the newer Dino stuff. Especially Beyond. And Farm has one of my all time favorite Seb- uh, Dino songs ("Your Weather.") I've also caught some Dino shows post-reunion. The first was shortly after Beyond came out (or shortly before... honestly can't recall) but it was EXCELLENT, and they remain an incredible live act. Re: the Beatles I didn't mean to suggest that I don't love early Beatles. I do. I went nuts over the BBC sessions 2 a few years ago. I love Anthology 1 and the first BBC sessions. All I meant was that compared to Abbey Road, the White Album, Revolver, etc., their early material wasn't exactly mind blowing. It was still great music, carefully composed and beautiful, and their personalities and general group dynamic in those early years was really something. There is no Beatles era or music that I dislike, except for a song or two here and there. No, please don't get me wrong. I fucking love the Beatles to the point of near-obsession. I've read more books on them (as a band and as individuals) than any other artist. My love for them and my curiosity about/interest in them is without limit. They probably wouldn't make it into a current list of my top 5 artists, but from an all-time perspective, they're right up there with Sonic Youh and the Velvet Underground. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. I guess I take it as a matter of public record that I'm a Beatles devotee, and that anyone reading my playfully disparaging comments about their pre-Rubber Soul days would take it with a grain of salt. Sorry. To be crystal clear: I fucking love the Beatles like woah. |

WOW man. You like Made in USA and Demonlover more than Daydream Nation?! AND Murray Street, Nurse, Bad Moon Rising??! I would never even think to put those two releases on a "favorite Sonic Youth albums" list. I don't think of them as "albums" at all. Wow. Just.. wow. That is the strangest Sonic Youth list I've ever seen, my friend. No offense. I'm not trying to be a jerk at al, I'm just... well, I'm kind of speechless. With SFAD's list, at least I can understand it. I myself have gone through lengthy periods of preferring ATL-Sonic Jurse to everything else in the Sonic Youth discography. So, SFAD, I feel you. But Mortte... wow. You and I are on entirely different wavelengths. Nothing wrong with that though. There would be no point in talking about this stuff if we didn't have different perspectives to share ![]() |

My own "favorite SY albums" list is always in flux. I don't include any of the SYR's, soundtracks, sessions releases, live albums or EP's (except for CIS/KIY and self-titled because they've more or less been retroactively deemed the band's "first albums" as far as most of the world is concerned. I think of Bad Moon Rising as their first proper long-player, but not including Confusion is Sex would be rubbish.
I'll give it a shot, but remember, this is always subject to change without warning or reason. ![]() 1. Sister 2. Daydream Nation 3. Murray Street 4. A Thousand Leaves 5. Bad Moon Rising 6. Sonic Nurse 7. Evol 8. Goo 9. Washing Machine 10. Rather Ripped 11. Dirty 12. Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star 13. NYC Ghosts & Flowers 14. Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr Idols 15. Sonic Youth 16. The Eternal * Note: In my opinion there isn't a bad album in the bunch. In fact, I think most of these records are perfect. The few that aren't, like those last few entries, are still downright great albums, with the possible exception of The Eternal, which is "very good" with a number of great moments, and even some perfect ones. I just want to make it clear that I think everything on this list puts most guitar-based music to shame. It's simply an expression of which of these beloved records I love most at this current point in time. ![]() |

When thinking my list, you easily notice the albums that has those great melodic guitars are high. The other thing that means a lot in SY music to me, is how much they give me visions. Made In Usa, Demonlover and those great SYRS give me a lot. Well every Sonic music give me visions, but those that are high on the list give me most. And really DDN & BMR are just so fuckin amazing albums like experimental even I donīt rate them high. |

I dig it man. I get where you're coming from. You're right that all the albums you listed are great. I really adore some of the SYRs too. Especially 1, 2, 5 and 9. Some of the band's best moments are on those releases. I also love Demonlover. |

Well, I also think sometimes my old friends from that I have heard nothing for long time. But I think there is reason why I havenīt heard them and I am completely satisfied about my social life this moment.
Really hope that shit "this place is dead" doesnīt start again, I think here has been quite ok feeling at the moment from a long time. |

Well Mortte, the old seems to have been replaced with an obnoxious right-wing TMZ prickfest that fails to grasp the mind-blowing concept of opinion.

I'm glad you're feeling ok about it here at the moment. I like you. You have great taste in music. Sorry about that one time, like a year ago or more, when I gave you the impression that I didn't like you. I still think about that. You're a good guy, and I hope I made it clear that I never meant you any disrespect. ![]() |
