Who else would put Rather Ripped in their top 5? - Page 3

EVOLghost · 04.25.2009, 05:37 PM

RR isn't in my 5 but like it's a pretty good listenI think.

no, the fall are the rolling stones of post-punk.

[Sandbag] · 04.25.2009, 06:44 PM

I wouldn't, but I still like it a lot. There are four or five songs there that I haven't listened more than 6 times because I find them boring. Anyway it's definitely not shit. A matter of taste.

I understand what you mean but I don't see it that way.

noisereductions · 04.27.2009, 07:27 AM

my Top 5:

1. Evol
2. Murray Street
3. Confusion Is Sex
4. Dirty
5. The Destroyed Room

RR was my #1 of 2006. But not high on my all-time SY rankings. Though, I certainly rank it much higher than the majority of boardies. And "Reena" is one of the greatest songs of the last decade.

atsonicpark · 04.27.2009, 07:37 AM

Ohh ohh! My top 5!!!

1. confusion is sex
2. a thousand leaves
3. sister
4. silver sessions
5. nyc ghosts and flowers

Death & the Maiden · 04.27.2009, 07:55 AM

1. Bad Moon Rising/Daydream Nation
3. Confusion is Sex
4. EVOL
5. Sister

After that, I have no idea. S/T would probably be next, but out of all their 90s and 00s albums I've heard, nothing stands out. I need to get ATL, I have a feeling that that would become my post 80s favourite.

joe11121 · 04.27.2009, 02:40 PM

1. Evol
2. DDN/Sister
4. CIS
5. Dirty (Just because of JC)

mil_pl · 04.27.2009, 02:43 PM

oh, probably not, because my top 5 looks like this:

1. sonic nurse
2. a thousand leaves
3. evol
4. dirty
5. daydream nation

cheers!

ps. am I the only guy with sonic nurse... (?)

Derek · 04.27.2009, 02:46 PM

Oh why not...

1. Daydream Nation
2. NYC Ghosts + Flowers
3. Evol
4. Bad Moon Rising
5. Confusion Is Sex

No you definitely aren't.

1. A Thousand Leaves
2. Sonic Nurse
3. Goo
4. Rather Ripped
5. Daydream Nation

Schizophrenia · 04.27.2009, 03:20 PM

Not even top 10. Really.

Eli Renfro · 04.27.2009, 03:31 PM

It's not one of the best of SY's catalog, but it's not as bad as some fans make it out to be. I like it more than Experimental Jet Set, Goo and Dirty, and more than the pre-Evol albums (sorry, that stuff's just not my thing).

My top 5:
1. Thousand Leaves
2. Murray Street
3. Daydream Nation
4. Sister
5. Destroyed Room

Jeremy · 04.27.2009, 03:43 PM

Why not?

1)Daydream Nation
2)Washing Machine
3)Rather Ripped
4)Sonic Nurse
5)Evol

With respects to Sister; I love the first SY EP but I won't compare it to their actual LPs.

That's the general list. Sometimes I go through phases with the others (Not counting EJSTANS or NYC Ghosts and Flowers), but that top 5 is pretty definite.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.27.2009, 03:49 PM

It's got some really great stuff but not in my top.

Sister
Murray Street
Evol
Sonic Nurse
Dirty

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 04.27.2009, 04:15 PM

1. Washing Machine
2. A Thousand Leaves
3. Goo
4. Murray Street
5. Sister

This list changes all the time, but Washing Machine usually remains #1. RR is far from terrible, but definitely doesn't warrant a top 5 ranking.

NWRA · 04.27.2009, 04:19 PM

I prefer it to Goo and Sonic Nurse; put it on par with EJSTANS (similar in that it's enjoyable but lacks depth). I couldn't begin to consider it as one of my top-5 as Sonic Youth's first five albums are considerably better than it (but then, that is a formidable first-five-albums: genuine alt.rock classics - and Rather Ripped is enjoyable, not even aiming at that level).
