sonic youth song you most enjoy
 

ask your wife/husband/best friend which sonic youth song you seem to be enjoying the most when you're listening to them. and tell us the result. no cheating now:mad:

my guard says i always seem to be enjoying bubblegum the most

cross the breeze...

is the response i get the most.

Strange thread.
Apparently Hey Joni gets me pretty pumped according to my friend.

Uhhhh. I think usually my friends say something like, "Is that Sonic Youth again?" So...they might be a terrible source when looking for a specific name.

If they knew titles, they'd probably say Eliminator Jr. (which is definitely not my favorite song).

Kool Thing, and it is a world away from my list of faves.

ummmmmm hold on

helen lundeberg and hyperstation

Sunday is my goodmoodsong...

my wife hates sonic youth (she doesn't, but she wont admit to that) and she doesn't know any of the songs. I rarely play them when shes around but i have made her listen to Washing Machine before, the bit where it changes. So lush. so she'll probably say that.
But i think its still Rain On Tin

most definitely orange rolls, angel spit. i uhhh sing the guitar part whenever it's on...

unmade bed

diamond sea, sugar kane and 100% are the only songs my friends ask me for, and total trash requested by my father.

None one else I know listens to Sonic Youth.

Catholic Block.
Or Expressway to your skull. I don't know.
Ask it to my girlfriend.

becuz, followed closely by Skip tracer.
i know every word and every note from these two songs by heart.

Teen Age Riot
Diamond Sea provokes a lot of emotion too.

Just asked my wife, and after several "no clues" she finally said "Death Valley '69, but really that whole album" which is pretty accurate though I'd personally have picked "Ghost Bitch" off of that album over "Death Valley '69". Regardless, yes Bad Moon Rising is my favorite record period.

I asked my son, and he said "Goo!", but then that's all he says so far.

"total trash" from Daydream Nation, i love the noise section of that song.
A few days ago i saw this review: ( “Total Trash” incorporates a charmingly wonky boogie-woogie riff reminiscent of T. Rex before veering off onto a frenzied noise rock tangent, eventually righting itself at the six minute mark)...strange words...!

i think teen age riot is the one i enjoy the most.. its tough... buts its such a cool rocking song, i always seem to do stuff faster when its on

the answer is:

mote

Expressway to yr skull, not my favourite but definitely up there

Lately

The World Looks Red

Really??? I hope if they ever re-issue EVOL they'll leave disc one ending after EXPRESSWAY, because I always thought "Bubblegum" was a bit silly following that one.

my guard says he was mistaken and what he took as my enjoyment of bubblegum was just me choking on my muffin. he now says drunken butterfly

You have a guard..?

i think i saw this thread somewhere...i don't have a guard - what is a guard? - my answer depends if i have a guard or not? anyway today i love "Lee is free", tomorrow i don't know...!

what's a guard?

Like.. a guard in a prison?

I recently played all of the Goo album for my lil brother, whose 13 and reportedly hates Sonic Youth, and the only song he knew before was Kool Thing...

Then, near the end of Disc 1, he heard the riff to Titanium Expose...

"okay, I guess Sonic Youth is okay. The riffs are hella catchy, but if they cleaned it up a bit it could be epic"

Exact quote =)

Next stop, Daydream Nation

Haha that's pretty funny.
Welcome to the board.

:rolleyes:

Kid doesn't know who to rock.

Fucking dragon force ruining the youth's perception of good guitar... : (

I want my guitar to sound like a keyboard!

Haha exactly.
THeir guitar player isn't talented for shit.
Horrible tone, no creativity, overall shit songs.
Crap band.

for the longest time it was mote now it's change to Across the Breeze really dig the riff changes. Btw at the recent concert on the fourth the vocals Kim layed down for this were epic her voice was just drippin' with pain.....

so many to choose from............

I've been listening to a lot of Breeders lately 'cause they're touring Melbourne (right now I am humming "Saints") and I'm seeing 'em... but regarding SY, my friend reckons I'm always doing the "lahh-la-la" bit from Little Trouble Girl, which is true..

FUCK! Now I got it my head!

"Remember mother? We were close, very very close"
(LAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LA LA....)

you won't hear me say it too much about Steve Albini, but I agree with him about Kim Deal's voice-- fantastic, one of the greatest.

Im seeing the Breeders in Adelaide....dasdfhasdfasdfcan't wait.

For SY songs I enjoy- New Hampshire, the momentum and rhythm are very addictive.

If people watched me listening to music, they'd probably say Inhuman.

prob. pch

O_o Now, I fucking hate Dragon Force, and I can't listen to them for more than 10 seconds without wanting to shoot myself. But Herman Li is one talented motherfucker. There's no doubt in my mind that he could arrange and play any SY song note-for-note if he wanted. Not terrible on the creativity end, either--writing riffs like his is hard, akin to arranging classical music.

He's just boring as shit.

My wife said "Kool Thing." Shocked me.
