Becuz

It doesn't seem accurate, but it's the first one that popped into my head when thinking about the question. I do love it.

"She's in a Bad Mood"

mostly because it was the first thing I ever heard by them and thus it completely changed my life. So if I could only have one song, I'd go back to the beginning for me.

For the sake of name dropping, either Schizophrenia or Cross the Breeze

ps. piss off


Thats the spirit.. I think threads like these are interesting, because peoples taste in music, and SY in particular, changes all the time.. I agree that SY are about albums, not songs, but I cant really see your point here Diesel.. If you get confused by these threads, I wonder why you bother to post 4000 posts on this forum..

in that case, my would be Dirty Boots, especially ending of that song.

Hyperstation

It has to be Hyperstation for me, its simply the most epic peice of music I've ever heard. I know epic is a shit word to describe music, and I can't tolerate bands like Muse in their desperation to be epic, but it seems so effortless on this track. If I was the band I would have closed the album with this track, Eliminator seems a bit of an anti-climax to DDN. But hey, i'm just happy it exists.

"Tom Violence." Or "Schizophrenia." I'm not sure. Too hard.

Gary Black 03.18.2008 06:33 PM

Has to be Unwind. It was the song that started my whole SY adventure. It has a lot answer for, but what a tune (Diamond Sea is very close behind). :p

making the nature scene



(Skip Tracer and Sunday to round it out and give me one from each singer)

Sweet Shine

great lyrics, really hazey sonic. It effortlessly drifts with a really off putting chord strummed on the bass laying down the rhythem. Its got really great melodies by kim with the perfect sleepy delivery. This song is a total downer though, like a wasted summer or something.

"I dreamed that you were my vacation, woke to find desire and dislocation"

Death & the Maiden 03.18.2008 11:56 PM

Eric's Trip is my favourite Lee song.
The Sprawl is my favourite Kim song.
Titanium Expose is my favourite Thurston song.

A tough one!
Although with a gun to my head I'd prob have to go for New York City Ghosts & Flowers...........

lots of love for this song in this thread.. IMO, NYC Ghosts+Flowers = an inferior 'I Dreamed I Dream'.
