for me it's def "BECUZ"
it's got the simple powerful drive / feel to it
the Kim vox
the massive skronk
the beautiful Lee dissonant notes
can't get enough of this songs
possibly my favourite song EVER

Preferably a live version though...


right on.

Schizophrenia is a good choice. Teen Age Riot came to mind too.

Haha I never even thought about those songs but they sure are great ones.

mlrmlr 09.23.2008 07:26 PM

Cinderella's Big Score and maybe Unmade Bed.

mlrmlr 09.23.2008 07:27 PM

Of course Schizophrenia but the live version in Reading 1991. (The Year Punk Broke)

Is there really a better version??
But I came up with one just now. What about Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style?

RanaldoNecro 09.25.2008 11:15 AM

I love Her all the Time from The Year Punk Broke...

Magic Wheel Memory 09.25.2008 12:24 PM

I think Teenage Riot is too pop. Very different from most of SY's stuff. And I think The Diamond Sea is just very unique. I don't think either song has much in common with a lot of their other work.

Malcolm81 09.25.2008 01:16 PM

Schizophrenia is a good choice. Tom Violence also comes to mind.

sarramkrop 09.25.2008 01:16 PM

I'm surprised someone would play The Diamond Sea to a SY novice in order to give them an idea of their trademark sound. I mean, the lyrics and playing are heavily indebted to Echo and The Bunnymen (down to Thurston Moore's vocal style), Neil Young, or psychedelic rock from the sixties (the instrumental part), not exactly the first things that I'd associate with the noise that they are generally known for. Great song and all that, though.
