you're so wrong. I love Dirty.
That's the great thing about SY, everyone has their favourite album(s), and ones they don't like, which then other people feel are their favourites.

Personally I've never liked Murray Street so much, and any other album between A thousand Leaves and Rather Ripped.

Anyway, what to buy next? I would say Washing Machine, Evol, the self-titled EP, A Thousand Leaves. And SYR1, and Silver Sessions if you want to scare the neighbours.

It depends on what you're general taste is, if you're more into experimental freejazz avantgarde etc then go get SYR4 and the oldest albums like Confusion and Bad Moon Rising. If you're not into that kind of music so much (like me), then I wouldn't recommend them.

^ Right

Dirty doesn't stand up next to GOO (which is probably one of my top 3)... but it does have some great stuff on it.

Evol Evol Evol.
Sonic Nurse Sonic Nurse.

Yes, and to add to this, EVOL and Bad Moon Rising.

And ofcourse, the legendary Confusion is Sex.

Bollocks_to_Pop · 05.27.2007, 05:05 PM

EVOL then Washing Machine

Washing Machine · 05.27.2007, 07:31 PM

EVOL is fucking essencial. Perhaps my second or third favourite SY album after Bad Moon Rising. So I say EVOL and Bad Moon followed by Washing Machine.

atsonicpark · 05.27.2007, 07:39 PM

my favorite sonic youth album is silver sessions.

you said it right.

Washing Machine · 05.28.2007, 03:09 AM

So many great memories of driving round the mountains and woods at 4am with my friends listening to EVOL through a shitty radio.

to follow sister and murray street, just try the whitey album (ciccone youth) otherwise : EXPERIMENTAL JET SET TRASH AND NO STAR and WASHING MACHINE.

Washing Machine · 05.28.2007, 12:36 PM

I never liked 'Sister' until a few weeks ago...

mAraujo · 05.28.2007, 03:21 PM

I'd say EVOL and then Confusion Is Sex.

Neongod · 05.28.2007, 03:46 PM

I think that the general consensus, combined with my own bias is EVOL and Washing Machine. You definitely will not be disappointed with those two. If you are, leave and never come back!!

j/k

lunberg · 05.28.2007, 05:24 PM

Evol and Sonic Nurse aren't mentioned enough. Get Bad moon rising also.
And Washing machine. And SYR4. In fact get everything.
except EJSNS which is crappy minus 3 songs. I know it's not a common opinion but I find their earlier stuff not as genuinely challenging as stuff they did after BMR. It's supposed to be raw and unconventional, but they didn't know their shit yet if u ask me. Buy CIS and KYI last (90% of the fans will tell you the contrary though cuz they read too many music reviews

).

Silver Son · 05.29.2007, 02:50 AM

I think you should get A Thousand Leves & Nyc Ghost And Flowers.
Then Confusion Is Sex.
