Best Sonic Youth song?
 
My vote goes to Pacific Coast Highway. The solo in the middle of the song is absolutely perfect.

(Tuff Gnarl, Schizophrenia and Master-Dik are also really awesome)

deflinus 06.22.2013 10:11 PM

i'd say Sweet Shine

something very charming about that song. kim vocals, great guitar interplay and a hidden noise track

the studio version is terrible. They should just remaster all the subsequent releases to have this live version, its epic. the first time I heard it, man, that was epic like meeting my first wife, and unlike her, sonic youth is still around (sort of)

Pinkunicornnx 06.22.2013 11:50 PM

^ agree :)

SonikJesus 06.23.2013 03:30 AM

impossible question. maybe if they only had a few albums. otherwise impossible

stu666 06.23.2013 04:08 AM

Tuff Gnarl

dasx 06.23.2013 07:57 AM

'Cross the Breeze lead me into the world of Sonic Youth, so maybe the best is that one, Mote or Radical Adults.

Pinkunicornnx 06.23.2013 08:13 AM

Yeah Cross The Breeze used to be one of my favorites SY songs aswell:p

SonicBebs 06.23.2013 08:24 AM

Sympathy for the Strawberry

SonicBebs 06.23.2013 08:24 AM

It is awesome...awesome enough that Sonic Youth sort of borrowed it from Guru Guru...

EVOLghost 06.23.2013 10:21 AM

Scooter and JInx.


no seriously.....SonicBebs might be on to something. WM is afantastic song...
not my favorite...but could be their best. Or disappearer.....or schizo......or Dripping dream, or Expresway to Yr skull



I dunno...


Kill Yr Idols still remains as my favorite.

Toilet & Bowels 06.23.2013 10:23 AM

Years ago there was a big huge convoluted process of elimination and it was discovered that NYCG+F was the most well liked Sonic Youth song.


My favourite SY song is the live version of Shaking Hell from the Kill Yr Idols EP, my favourite Thurston song is probably Candle and favourite Lee is probably Hoarfrost. And my favourite thing without vocals is the one off Evol.

A German band who are generally thought of as a Krautrock band but they're occasionally a great Prog band. You should check them out. Gayest thing. It's almost like girls with make up on.

GravitySlips 06.23.2013 01:04 PM

Yeah, what's this Guru Guru song nuplastikk?

stateyourrights 06.23.2013 06:03 PM

JC. I could almost cry everytime I listen to it. Its SO heartfelt. You can really feel that the whole band's soul lost something because of Joe's death.

Lets not speak of those survival threads, that shit was like Monopoly, endless and no real winners.

dasx 06.23.2013 10:39 PM

They have so many "best songs"...

Mortte Jousimo 06.23.2013 10:57 PM

I think it would`ve been much easier to say which songs are not their best, but if I have to say one best song, it´s still Reena to me.

Not all Lee's songs are good, but many of them are. For example Walkin Blue and Skip Tracer are lower than average SY song.

Rob Instigator 06.24.2013 11:25 AM

skip tracer rules man!

especially the live version I have heard on a bootleg somewhere. fucking awesome.

SonicBebs 06.24.2013 03:06 PM

Skip Tracer is amazing!

I say Genetic, Mote or Hoarfrost. Genetic should have been on original Dirty release.
