my firs s sng i heard was teenage riot.
my second was silver rocket,
my third wasthe sprawl
fourth was cross the breeze
my fifth was erics trip, 6th total trash
7th hey joni
8th providence
9tyh candle
10th rain king
11th kissability and the twelvth song by sy i ever heard was the trilogy (wonderhyperjunior)

i was about 13, it changed my view on music to a point where i am now an obsessive........

thanks sonic!

she said it was an amazing insrtumental i mean its alright but what really got me into sy was believe if or not their cover of i wanna be yr dog on confusion is sex/kill yr idols

i actually listened to daydream nation first because it was the one that critics liked the best. i remember thinking of listening to sonic youth because of the simpsons episode. i really liked Teenage Riot a lot but thought the other songs in the album were "non-songs" at the time.

then i heard Unmade Bed and ended up listening to their whole catalog of music. thats when my journey began and just ended up being so inspired and insanely motivated by their music.

in the mind of the bougious reader

its still one of my favorites

teenage riot
then schizophrenia
then i started to listen more and more
because of "timing" these songs "fit" in a weird way

First one I heared was Mote and it blew me away.
My life changed and it has never been the same ever since.

I've told this story a million times but I got into SY through The Simpsons. I had watched that Homerpalloza episode and thought this whole 'Alternative Music' and 'GenX' thing was the coolest thing ever. Plus the names sounded so cool - 'Smashing Pumpkins', 'Nine Inch Nails', 'Sonic Youth'. I got into the Pumpkins in a big way and made my way through all the bands mentioned in that episode until I got to Sonic Youth. My first song was The Diamond Sea. Which is a good thing because if I had started on something more extreme, I perhaps wouldnt be here talking now, and my compositional style would be vastly different. I wouldnt have got into Branca, Steve Reich, John Cage or rock bands like Slint, Pavement, The Velvets or countless others. Actually Fuck It. How could I not like a band that call themselves 'Sonic Youth' and have such cool albums titles as 'Daydream Nation', 'Goo' and 'EVOL'?

teenage riot rules

Amen bro

well I guess Sunday was my first song which i heard last year and had on my ipod since, but it was only a few months ago i decided to get into them, and the song that grabbed me when i fell in love with them is Tunic, love it.

Teenage Riot.

Mote.
