Welcome to the Sonic Youth Song Information Database. This site aims to catalog every single Sonic Youth track, whether released or unreleased, and provide its lyrics, performance data, availability, and other info pertaining to the song, whether trivial or statistical. You can choose from 11 pre-defined lists of Sonic Youth songs, and click each song title to get more information on the song. As of 2007, virtually every SY recording should be included (aside from the improvisations documented on 'Hidros 3' and 'Melbourne Direct'). Please e-mail me w/ any corrections, suggestions, information, comments, questions etc etc you may have. Please report all typos, bad html, things that could be errors, etc etc.
