No Lee vox!

avantgarde1 · 04.17.2008, 05:55 PM

yeah that's disappointing, i loves me soem lee.

noisereductions · 04.17.2008, 07:26 PM

I'm so happy to see "Tom Violence" included. If I had to choose one song to express what makes SY so great, it'd be "T.V."

Death & the Maiden · 04.17.2008, 07:54 PM

Teen Age Riot is the only song from Daydream Nation. Some obvious ones have been left out - Death Valley '69, Schizophrenia. And there's only two (maybe it's three, I don't know about Stones) Kim vocals.

For me it would be...2 cool rock chicks listening to Neu

unforgivable.

other than that, not sure how i feel. i think the LP version (that is what this is, right?) of 'bull in the heather' is an absolutely perfect recording and is probably enough to indicate to somebody within 30 seconds if they dig sonic youth. and 'sugar kane' is a good second shot. the rest, i'll have to digest.

new tune, though!

There was a rumor that Beck picked an acoustic version of the diamond sea... I wonder if that was the case.

It's too Thurston oriented.

it's good for me

dressedindreams · 04.18.2008, 04:36 PM

wait, are these still covers or a best of?

noisereductions · 04.18.2008, 05:24 PM

It was never covers... that was a misconception. It's songs picked by "celebs" and early on it was reported that said celebs would be doing covers. Not true.

I'd love to hear THAT. Are you sure that rumor wasn't started because Beck used to do an acoustic version himself? I mean, if there is an acoustic SY version out there, that's amazing.

In fact, I'd really like it if there were lots of alt. versions on here, rather than LP versions. Even edits would be kind of cool in a collectible way.

Holy shit, I hadn't noticed but you're right.

Bull in the Heather
Sugar Kane
100%
Kool Thing

Superstar
Stones
Tuff Gnarl
Teenage Riot
Shadow of a Doubt
Rain on Tin
Tom Violence
Mary-Christ
World Looks Red

Slow Revolution - previously unreleased

THREE Kim songs? Even if she sings the new tune, that will still be a grossly inappropriate balance. I guess other people picked the songs, but shit...

3 from Goo, 3 from EVOL, 2 from Dirty, and 1 each from Nurse, Murray St, Jet Set, Daydream, Sister, and Confusion. Nothing from Rather Ripped, Ghosts & Flowers, Washing Machine (

), Bad Moon Rising, or the first EP.

Interesting list of songs! Will be curious to see who picked what...

fluxequalsrad · 04.18.2008, 10:30 PM

I have fixed the damage:

100%
Pattern Recognition
Saucer-Like
Bull in the Heather
Teenage Riot
Rain on Tin
Kotton Krown
Sunday
Reena
Eric's Trip
Tuff Gnarl
Candle
Starpower
Expressway to yr Skull
Slow Revolution - previously unreleased

I'm being fair.

The damage isn't fixed, there's nothing from Bad Moon Rising, and there's no Titanium Expose.
If a proper SY best of was to be made, it would need at least one song from every album, a few Lee songs, and more than a few Kim songs.

no it's good, lee have bad songs (for me) kim have 3 songs on this list, but hey it'll be in other vox versions, so... i don't know why you are so pissed off

tasteinmen · 04.19.2008, 05:24 AM

too much from goo and dirty if you ask me, but I suppose this was their peak era and they haven't featured on a best of yet. In away I'm glad superstar is on it because now it actually belongs on a SY album.
I wish there were more kim songs. This means we'll have remastered versions of evol and sister tracks. I wonder if they'll use the album or edit version of expressway.

mil_pl · 04.19.2008, 09:19 AM

this will be interpretion of songs by celebrities..
not the greatest hits remastered!
