by the time Hey Joni comes around this album has pounded me into submission. Providence is just beautiful and kinda heartbreaking and i wish it was longer  . oh and its great on vinyl. esp. Total Trash. |
I'm for Sister and ATL too. Daydream Nation
becomes my favorite when I listen to it, but I listen very rarely, and when it's over it feels like I've just finished a book. It's not that I'm tired of it, but I've had the experience again, and it'll be a while before I feel the need to go back.
Sister is not like that. That's the album I think about when I think of Sonic Youth. And ATL is the kind of record I can play any time. Day after day.
Bad Moon Rising and Goo probably round out the top 5. But the order always changes. Except for #1 and #2. Those are always Sister and ATL. In some ways I think A Thousand Leaves is the perfect Sy album, in that in contains practically every element of their sound in a way the popular favorites like Murray Street don't, despite being also great records.
But I drink your milkshake, so...
