Least favorite sonic album - Page 3

Bertrand · 04.12.2006, 10:18 AM

My least favorite's NYG&F. Some of you wrote it was an album they really appreciated, still I can't get it (apart from the live versions which I can understand). What am I missing? What should I pay more attention to? really - this ain't no trick to make fools of yourselves.

My only weakness in GOO is that the way it was recorded is just....i dunno...it has a really cheesy late 80s sound to it that just gets on my boobs....The songs themselves are good/great (minus a few).......My favorite has to be Daydream nation, Sister, Bad Moon Rising, Washing machine or EVOL.

Isoflurane · 04.12.2006, 04:52 PM

Fuck. Goo Rules. So do NYCG+F and a Thousand Leaves. I don't like Dirty and Experimental Jet Set, though.

jean-nicolas · 04.13.2006, 02:00 AM

A thousand leaves

hey alex · 04.13.2006, 02:44 AM

I'm surprised CIS has 10 votes. I mean, I guess I can see it... i can understand it but I don't recommend it.

(edit-yes, this pun would be better with BMR but whatever... but it as 7)

velvetmonkey · 04.13.2006, 07:46 AM

EVOL is the best

kingcoffee · 04.13.2006, 10:02 AM

Of all the Sonic Youth albums i have listened to, my least favorite SY album is Experimental, Jet Set, Trash and No Star. I know that other people will claim that SYR 4: Goodbye 20th Century, NYC Ghost and Flowers and some others are worse, but i have purposely never listened to those albums before simply becuase they were given really bad reviews from people who's opinions I regard very highly. If they say it's shit, then it probably is and there is no sense in me wasting my time with bad material even from a band that I wholly respect and absolutley love.

samuel · 04.13.2006, 10:15 AM

If I had to choose one, I would choose Experimental Jet Set
but I still love that album so much

Proud Marie · 04.13.2006, 12:53 PM

Since I cant pick EJSTNS or NYCG+F, I'll go with CIS. I am still mezmorized by that album but it doesnt captivate me like the others. (I assume we are not including the SYRs or i'd go with SYR4)

Fox · 04.13.2006, 02:15 PM

Goo, but it is excellent anyway

h8kurdt · 04.13.2006, 02:22 PM

NYC G&F urrgghhh can never get into that album. Why all the hatred for Dirty?

Because, Dirty sounded like SY's attempt to cash in on the popularity of "Alternative rock" and to make all those MTV kids like them. Plus Butch Vig, need I say more?

nomadicfollower · 04.13.2006, 03:39 PM

Confusion is Sex is some of the best! How can you not like it?
And Dirty's not that bad...come'on.

the ikara cult · 04.13.2006, 03:47 PM

Washing machine, its just never lived up to the hype. At least when i didnt like EJSTNS i found out it wasnt that popular amongst most fans, but then i dont like washing machine and everyone else eulogises (sic) it. Whats wrong with you people honestly.

anomie · 04.13.2006, 03:50 PM

Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star

timpickens · 04.13.2006, 11:06 PM

NYCG&F

God that was horrid and pretentious and lame.

Sorry if you like this album. Sorry if you're pretentious and lame, also. :-D

Really?

If so, piss off.

SonikJesus · 04.13.2006, 11:47 PM

I like NYCGF. I've had it for a while but I was bored recently so i popped it in. It grew on me even more. I think it's SY' most beautiful album.

cuetzpalin · 04.14.2006, 05:26 AM

voted for GOO. the sound of Goo isn't as close to me as on the others albums

samantha. · 04.16.2006, 06:13 AM

Dirty.

Even though it was the album that got me into Sonic Youth, it doesn't measure up to the others e.g. Confusion is Sex/Kill Your Idols
