MAGNET magazine picks Sonic Youth's most overrated and underrated songs:
http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2009/1...r-sonic-youth/

they listed radical adults & brother james as overrated? and diamond sea as underrated? wtf? do they know what they are talking about?

obviously not. haha.

Thanks.. not a bad read.
food for thought.

all of lee's songs rule

I'm surprised Teenage Riot isn't on the overrated side....dang.

DDN = Overrated.

very obscure picks there in the overrated section (apart from Kool Thing, obviously)

the one that surprised me the most was Self Obsessed and Sexxee....

Providence underrated? It hardly counts as a song.

i agree with "kool thing" wholeheartedly. the rest of the overrated list doesn't make sense at all.

"swimsuit issue" is one of their worst songs, but i can get behind 2-4 on the underrated list, even if i think they aren't that underrated amongst SY fans. i don't know where "the diamond sea" came from. i would have actually expected it on the flipside, maybe.

cuz it is 8 minutes of PERFECT ya ingrate

PERFECTION cannot be overrated.

Just like pussay cannot be too hot or too wet.

ingrate! why I oughtta. But seriously. This is the topic of overrated shiz. While I love teh Teenage Riot....my love for it has toned down due to the awesomeness of the other material.

For me Murray Street is overrated.


greatness (Teenage Riot and DDN) can never be rated high enough!! like girls in fuzzy bikinis

most underrated sy song ever: Bone.

most underrated sy song ever: sweet shine

When I get back home on Monday, I think I may have to break this apart.
I wish people would keep in mind that SY songs aren't like Beatles songs; a
"Lee song" is not like a "George song" in that he and he alone composed it.

true.

and Genetic rules all.

The only lee song I skip is wish fulfillment. I think that is preety weak. Wf shouldve been dropped instead of genetic

wish fulfillment is my favorite track off of Dirty. it makes me feel so GOOD when that shit is blasting.


Death valley 69 is a fucking masterpiece.
I love when sonic youth RAWK out.
coming down
say I love this
now now now
death valley 69
