Hmm I don't know if I've done this (half are "at the moment", other half more established)
NYC Ghosts & Flowers Mote Washing Machine Brother James Schizophrenia Ghost Bitch Pipeline/Killtime Sympathy For the Strawberry I Love Her All the Time Trilogy |
Beauty Lies in the Eye
Small Flowers Crack Concrete Tremens Starpower Sleepin Around Pink Steam Anagrama On the Strip Chapel Hill Beautiful Plateau Some of them aren't songs, I have shied from listing the three piece from SYR6 as the band are accompanied by another musician and there's nothing from my favourite SY LP, Murray Street. Well, joint favourite with NYC Ghosts & Flowers, but really I prefer the live instrumental version of NYC G&F because I prefer music without vocals on the whole. Remember that early instrumental jam version of the Sleepin Around Music that was put on the website at one point, sometime before the song's release? That was great. |
Interesting to see peoples' choices and the periods of SY music that people drew from... Here's mine (by date, for lack of a better order):
Kill Yr Idols Death Valley 69 Rain King Silver Rocket Eric's Trip Trilogy Mildred Pierce 100% Sacred Trickster Anti-Orgasm |

yeah that was used as backing on a doc i saw on youtube i'd never really got into Sleepin Around because of the vocal, some sy lyrics can be painfully bad, and that one is definitely up there. But the music was rocking! still cant listen to the song though.... |
I Dreamed I Dream
Stones Expressway To Yr skull 'Cross the Breeze Brother James The Diamond Sea Disconnection Notice Tom Violence Schizophrenia Karen Koltrane |

I'm not as down on the lyrics for 'Sleepin Around' as you, but I was nominating it largely for the music. It's a great intro, I think. Funny, I was sure I had downloaded that version as mp3, but I can't find it, and I can't remember where it was downloaded from. Any help appreciated. |
In no particular order...
The Diamond Sea Theresa's Sound-World Wish Fulfillment JC Disappearer I Love You Golden Blue Candle Sweet Shine Tom Violence Doctor's Orders |
Is there any love for Wildflower Soul? The part where it goes from kooky slippin' and slidin' back into that manic intro is one of the best SY moments imo.

This upsets me. Folks do realize that Sonic Youth had some really good albums AFTER 1995 right?? RIGHT?? |
Yea and I suppose you think 2pac(kets) was the greatest rapper of all time? pfff. We all know that this accolade belongs to the one, the only Bob Marley. He sang that great song Straight Outta Compton which featured great composition and melodic structure but most all mystery...because no-one actually knows if he really made this song or not. It's like the Area 51 mystery. But this myth was proved true after the release of the 1990 Megadeth album Rust In Peace which had a photo of an Alien on it's cover proving that Aliens do exist in Area 51. So really it's more of a...why is water wet mystery.

Megadeth's Rust In Peace is so riff-heavy great

Personally, I'd replace "Teenage Riot" with "Pattern Recognition" if that makes you feel better. Lack of Lee songs is a little more upsetting. |
Here´s my top10 after 2000:

'Raw-Punk-Speedy' songs 1. Stereo Sanctity 2. Shaking Hell 3. Inhuman 4. Rain King 5. Washing Machine 6. Tuck N Dar 7. Calming the Snake 8. White Kross 9. Ghost Bitch 10. Death to Our Friends 'Instrumental-Long-Mid-tempo' songs: 1. Beauty Lies in the Eye 2. Loop Cat 3. On the Strip (I could choose 'Theresa's Sound-World' from the same LP as well, but this one is more underrated I think) 4. Early American 5. Halloween 6. Kotton Krown 7. Skink 8. Slow Revolution 9. Karen Koltrane 10. I Dreamed a Dream [ but after 10 minutes I could make another one quite different :D ] |

I agree, it is impossible to make one list. Although I pretty much still stand by the earlier post that I made on this thread, I decided to make a top 10 list of songs for each decade they were active. Though somewhat creepily, each list ended up being exactly 14 songs (I decided to only include album/EP songs, if I had included b-sides, the 90's list in particular would be even longer than it already should be). 1980's: Protect Me You, Inhuman, Brother James, Intro/Brave Men Run (In My Family), Tom Violence, Expressway To Yr. Skull, Schizophrenia, The Sprawl/'Cross The Breeze, Candle, Eric's Trip/Hey Joni/Rain King. 1990's: Disappearer, Cinderella's Big Score, Theresa's Sound-World/Chapel Hill, Wish Fulfillment, JC, Bull In The Heather/Doctor's Orders/Sweet Shine, Starfield Road, Skip Tracer, The Diamond Sea, Sunday, Hoarfrost. 2000's: Nevermind (What Was It Anyway), NYC Ghosts & Flowers, Disconnection Notice/Rain On Tin, Karenology, Unmade Bed/Stones, I Love You Golden Blue, Reena, Pink Steam, Sacred Trickster/Massage The History, Antenna, What We Know. |
1 Hey Joni
