Is the amount of Lee tracks on an SY album proportionate to how good the album is?

This Is Not Here · 05.02.2008, 02:51 PM

Not my opinion, just a discussion point. And its not to say Lee's tracks are the best of SY. but there certainly is alot to be said for Lee Ranaldo tracks, is it just coincidence that theres three Lee tracks on Daydream Nation - 'the' SY album, and on Experimental Jet Set, which is in alot of posters' opinions one of the weakest albums, there are none?

Karen Revisited is the best song on Murray Street, Hoarfrost is the best song on A Thousand Leaves.

This Is Not Here · 05.02.2008, 03:09 PM

Karen Revisited is also the longest track from the album I consider to be their masterpeice. And because Murray St has so few tracks it is a large proportion of the album. Conincidence? COINCIDENCE?!!

Murray Street is beautiful from start of finish though, its the last amazing album they did, and their best since since Washing Machine.

Lee's tracks save A Thousand Leaves for me, he has two tracks, more than the usual 1 on later SY albums, but I still count ATL as one of the poorest.

o'connor · 05.02.2008, 03:20 PM

hoarfrost, mote, karen koltrane! i don't think it matters about the amount of lee's stuff, so long as it's there. and by there i mean on teh album.

Rob Instigator · 05.02.2008, 03:23 PM

lee is my fave.

NYC GHOSTS & FLOWERS

I can't even tell how much I love that song

Derek · 05.02.2008, 03:38 PM

Lee's tracks are usually the most epic.

Wonderful, isn't it? In fact, a mate of mine requested a Sonic education, and I sent him all the big tracks, y'know, Teenage Riot, Silver Rocker, Bull in the Heather, Kool Thing. He liked them, but it was when I sent him NYC Ghosts and Flowers that he was really blown away - To the extent that he went out bought the album as his first SY CD the next day. Says something, non?

Lee's songs are also my favorite, that man can do no wrong.

yes, i knew i missed one of em. rain king rules!

nicfit · 05.02.2008, 04:26 PM

rain king is one of my all time favs. Very few people mention it among their fav songs. well, I videotaped the live version I saw, so I'm pretty happy.

SonicBebs · 05.02.2008, 04:44 PM

Skip Tracer is awsome too. There's not 1 Lee song i dont like. Theres plenty of Thurston songs i dont like

batreleaser · 05.02.2008, 05:03 PM

ive always liked thurston's voice better, but i like lee's lyrics more (very beat like, always beautiful), and theyre guitar playing you could make a case for both of them being better. i dont know, theyre both so integral to the band, they both rule.

Everyneurotic · 05.02.2008, 05:36 PM

no, definitely not; on some albums, the weak song has been lee's.
