Which Sonic "Trilogy" cycle/era do you like best?
 

Inspired by the sonic phase thread. Someone on the old board loosely grouped SY's records into a chronological series of trilogies that I thought were pretty accurate, although I'm sure there are some arguments for other groupings. But here's how I see it, so which do you think is best? Right now, I myself actually can't decide.

a swell idea

i;ll have to think on it... as there's one favorite album in every part. BMR, evol, goo, WM, nurse... maybe goo.

Even though I don't like EVOL that much I had to go with EVOL/Sister/Daydream Nation.


Murray Street, SN were close behind, but I can't really say because I haven't heard Rather Ripped.

EVOL/Sister/Daydream Nation

Easily. No contest.

Early Eighties.

The right opinion.

evol sister daydream nation
these three are my absolute favorites

It was a toss-up, but I went with Washing Machine/ATL/NYCG&F

Laf. Goo/Dirty/Shit-album got 0 votes. Good call, everyone.

The "now" era. Not easily, but it's what I find myself listening to the most.

Yep.

cant decide

tough question but i took Sonic Youth/Confusion is Sex/Bad Moon Rising

Washing Machine!
A Thousand Leaves!
NYC Ghosts & Flowers!

was that me? Ive always found they grouped well in threes or pairs, just in terms of sound, design, theme etc. Ive gone for the latest 3 despite having not heard rather ripped yet.

i love it all man.

LIStened to all the old stuff so many times it has to be listed to on sellect ocations. So new stuff is new= good.

that´s too difficult

Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation

its the begining that started it all.

It was a toss up between the first two, but I went with Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation.

I won't really know until I hear Rather Ripped, but for now I'll pick Washing Machine/1000 Leaves/NYCG&F

I like all, but I went with SY/CIS/BMR. Whitey Album too, that album is gold.

i really think its bullshit that goo dirty etc got least votes

Evol/Sister/Daydream

still haven't voted ^___________^

Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation

Definitely the best era.

yeah but that was my second pick and i think it was a second pic with a lot off people.

agree.

Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth/Confusion is Sex/Bad Moon Rising

Even if it's really Confusion is Sex/Bad Moon Rising/EVOL

Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation of course.

THE SAME

and man, you avatar means everything... what a greeeeat album
can't wait may2 for a better sound

Definitely Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation. It's a pretty tough decision. I came close to picking Washing Machine/A Thousand Leaves/New York City Ghosts & Flowers, but I never liked NYC. Except for Lee's title track. It was pretty good.
