Assblaster is completely correct. SY does one good song and then lets the rest of the album just suck lately. Except for MS. MS was damn good.

I am not even looking forward to Rather Ripped.

Yeah. Remember, my post count is huge so I am always correct.

Disregard that rule for Marley.

hayden is sy even one of your favorite bands? it seems like you dislike them more than like them.

and no you shouldn't look forward to RR because it's their worst.

And always baked.

CIS/KYI is easily one of my top 10 favorite records of all time. They just don't put out that much great material. There are some songs that I think "Oh my God. Sonic Youth is genius." and there are others that I think "Horse shit! Why am I listening to this HORSE SHIT?"

that's how i feel. i don't even like any of the crap they have put out since Goo. i don't even know why still listen to them. I think it's just out of habbit.

I dig stuff after Goo. I like about 3 or 4 SY albums. CIS/KYI, Murray Street, and Sister are 3 of my all-time favorite albums. Some others I like quite a bit but there are certainly albums in which I feel sorry for SY for releasing them.

Washing Machine is fantastic. I'm not too keen on 1000 Leaves or NYCG+F but they are much better than EJSTNS, Goo, or Nurse ever will be.

I think he was talking to Laila.

CIS, DDN, evol, BMR are my favorites. I can't bring myself to liking dirty b/c Youth against fascism is just sad.

And theresa's sound world is radiant...

......Chapel Hill.....the whole fucking album.

But ppl might be turned off by the whole Butch Vig/grunge connection thing... Their loss, i guess...

I never understood all that crap. Dirty IS Sonic Youth.....it's not like they did a record for Simon Cowell or something. Blah, whatever.

I guess the whole grunge movement was misunderstood and misaligned; if there was ever such a thing as grunge at all; outside of Seattle that is... :(

I don't especially like Dirty. Not for a specific reason, I just don't. It was the first one I bought, listened to it a couple times, and then put it away for a while. Eventually I went out and bought Experimental Jet for no good reason and really got into it, and now that I look back on Dirty it really is good, but first impressions are hard to shake.

best sy record since a thousand leaves

I can't believe so many of you guys don't like Murray Street and Sonic Nurse. I love em. I still like them better than Rather Ripped, but Rather Ripped has its own place to me now.

could be cuz you're just fascist scum yourself, deep inside?

DIRTY rules.

so does RATHER RIPPED.

long live SONIC YOUTH.

you "fans" are bitches.

I sort of agree with Laila about Youth Against Fascism. But I don't really like songs that are so blatantly political, they just don't seem clever to me. I find it hard to like political songs by bands other than Gang of Four or Fugazi because they pretty much perfected the art of the political song.

I like Dirty though- 100%, Swimsuit Issue, Drunken Butterfly, Theresa's Sound World, Wish Fulfillment, Sugar Kane, Orange Rolls Angel's Spit, Purr, JC, Creme Brulee.

My favorite SY albums would have to be Confusion is Sex, Daydream Nation, Goo and Murray Street. Mainly because those ones seem the most coherent and the least hodgepodgey, like a lot of SY albums do. I don't see everone's fascination with Washing Machine, I'd rank it in one of my least favorites.
