i understand the reasoning behind choosing the earlier phase, but again, we all have our personal choices..
i prefer "goo" to "evol", and i prefer "sonic nurse" over "experimental jet set..." i think "sister" was better than "murray st", and "daydream nation" was greater than "bad moon rising.."
it is not about the timeframe these records were released..

I don't view this thread as that at all. The way I feel about the 90/00 is very much different than the 80's. My favorite era is from ATL to the present day, but I don't think its the "best". Every artist to a lesser or greater degree loses some steam as they mature and continue recording new material. On the other hand they pick up experience and branch out into new areas and experiment with more material. So, there is no right or wrong era, its up to you as the listener to decide, just because a lot of us seem to be in agreement with the 80's doesn't negate SY's work after that time peroid.
