The Worst Sonic Youth 3 Albums In A Row?
 

What was their big lull then? (Fuck this is tough....but....)

Goo-Dirty-EJST+NS

But I fuckin like those albums. I just don't adore that 3 album stretch as a whole.

I agree, it would have to be Goo/Dirty/Jet Set.

~Jeremy~

none of them!

well, maaaaybe that one, because it includes jet set. which is good by most means, but not like, super good by sonic youth standards.

dirty/jetset/washing machine

yeah, i know i'll get yelled at for including WM, but that album doesnt do much for me at all compared to other SY albums (besides the diamond sea).

EJSTNS/WM/ATL

Some great songs of all of them, but a fairly high crud level too.

Murray Street - Nurse - RATHER RIPPED
Nurse is ok, but I can't get into the 2 others.....

Goo, Dirty, and Washing Machine are three that I don't think are very good. So it's either Goo - Dirty - Jet Set or Dirty - Jet Set - Washing Machine for me. But that doesn't seem right, because Jet Set is my favourite of theirs from the 90s. And I still haven't heard ATL, NYCG+F, and RR.

impossible

You are weird :)

Anyway, everybody knows it's goo-dirty- jet set

sonic death, bad moon rising, made in usa.

I´m not into the early stuff...

Dirty->Jet Set->Washing Machine

this thread is wrong.

Nurse-Rather Ripped-The Eternal

there, I said it.

this.

I'd say this too, although it's really hard because I still LOVE all three of these albums.

Well, althoug h I still love them, my least favourite two are Jet Set and Washing Machine. Dirty and ATL are both records I'd feel bad about including, so that makes it difficult...

Ah, screw i Jet Set - Washing Machine - A Thousand Leaves.

As much as love parts of ATL, I just have more of a personal love for Dirty (it's damn close though). Anyone who includes any of the 80s albums in this is being stupid.

Yeah, I know, I'm french.
But I take it as a compliment.

Seriously, Rather Ripped is their worst LP. It deserves to be in a worst SY albums list.

As true as that is, both Murray St and The Eternal are excellent.

That's like asking me which of my testicles I want to cut off.
