Best Sonic Youth song?

Pinkunicornnx · 06.22.2013, 01:21 PM

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

Yeah, PCH is the main reason why Sister is my favorite Sonic Youth album:3
(Tuff Gnarl, Schizophrenia and Master-Dik are also really awesome)

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

'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

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.
