Are Sonic Youth your very favourite band?

Hip Priest · 04.14.2006, 01:39 PM

Bands only, no solo artists please!

I love Sonic Youth and The Fall with equal intensity, so I thought I'd ask all of you nice people how you feel...

krastian · 04.14.2006, 01:40 PM

Absolutely.

h8kurdt · 04.14.2006, 01:42 PM

It's a toss up betwwen Mudhoney and Sonic Youth. One week is mudhoney the next it's SY.

It causes problems as to which band I get a tattoo of.

samuel · 04.14.2006, 01:43 PM

They're my favorite for sure.

Amaranth · 04.14.2006, 01:54 PM

i love the grateful dead. a lot. i also really like nin, but in a different way. so that is my answer.

nomadicfollower · 04.14.2006, 02:12 PM

Lightning Bolt and Shellac are close behind.
I can't really choose a faovrite band..

Glice · 04.14.2006, 02:28 PM

I... kind of like SY more conceptually and intellectually than I do particulary want to lie in front of buses for them. The musician in me draws more inspiration (conceptually, not musicologically) from them than any other band I can think of. But the other 'me' is mad for the Fall.

The Fall have about 4 songs an album that turn me into a dribbling loon incapable of doing anything other than go.... "Gaaahahffffhghghgrrrhghgh... that's... really... quite... goooooood....."

Other bands who do likewise... NNCK and Fushitsusha and Hank Williams.

!@#$%! · 04.14.2006, 02:32 PM

wow, im the only one who doesn't have a ranking system

how fucking original that makes me feel...

seriously the youth is probably my favorite band but i'm not listening to them a lot these days. just scored a lot of records in dc & new york & the only sy i got was the ep, which is, by the way, awesome-- but i have animal collective in heavy rotation these days-- they are not my "favorite" band however, just listening to them a lot until i get them out of my system or something.

krastian · 04.14.2006, 02:59 PM

I don't listen to any band on rotation.....including Sonic Youth.

It's hard to play favourites...

HaydenAsche · 04.14.2006, 04:18 PM

No.

My Favorite Bands:
Xiu Xiu
Mates of State
Unicorns
Modest Mouse

John Violence · 04.14.2006, 04:28 PM

Sonic Youth is even with CKY for my favorite band. I think if CKY had about 10 more albums out then they would be my favorite.

Torn Curtain · 04.14.2006, 04:40 PM

To be honest I like The Notwist, The Cure, Radiohead and Television more than Sonic Youth

TheDom · 04.14.2006, 04:41 PM

Yes, they are.

mikec · 04.14.2006, 05:20 PM

They're firmly entrenched in my top 5 along with: Fugazi, Social Distortion, Sleater Kinney, and Bad Religion.

terminal pharmacy · 04.14.2006, 05:26 PM

yes SY then EN

SecretGirl13 · 04.14.2006, 05:54 PM

I'm new to the gossip board (so hi everyone) but I have to admit SY have to share the favorite title with Sleater-Kinney and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in my book.
