What's your favourite SY track ever?
 
Mine: Sugar Kane.

I can't explain why, it just is.

porkmarras 06.19.2006 08:00 AM

I have 2 that i could easily describe as my favourite ones:
The Diamond Sea
Pacific Coast Highway

greenlight 06.19.2006 08:03 AM

impossible to answer.
it's atmosphere, drone, feedback, noise what gets me and it's in many (well..) songs, that's why it's impossible to answer. i'm trying to think of some sy song that i used to listen over and over...many songs tho. i love "edges", sugar cane is fantastic by the way.

Great video too.At the time that 'Dirty' came out,this particular song was castigated for being a Jesus and Mary Chain rip-off.As if that would be something to be castigated for.

Best SY Opener ever for sure.

I have two
-Karen Koltrane (best song)
-Anagrama (best instrumental and one of the best live song with eric's trip)

yeah, i spoke to magicwheelmemory who has seen sonic youth about 12 times and he said that Kotton Krown or Cotton Crown is fantastic live. its his favourite sonic youth song too.

h8kurdt 06.19.2006 03:11 PM

Thinking about it I'd have to say Sunday. Especially when the freak out kicks in although Washing Machines freak out is something special too.

krastian 06.19.2006 03:22 PM

I've seen Kotton Krown live twice......oh yes.

Pax Americana 06.19.2006 03:51 PM

I Dreamed I Dream

luxinterior 06.19.2006 04:13 PM

I'm in the too tough to decide camp as well; I will remark that Sugar Kane has never been in in the running though.
