conan w/sonic youth

[A.L.]

Anything except "bad moon rising" I hate that one with a passion.

That would be all well and good if it weren't their best album.

[syrupcore]

dirty is the shit. it has sugar kane on it and that's all it needs. then again, I think washing machine just about rules, so there.

[DryCounty]

Sister.

Followed closely by EVOL.

Those two are all you really need.

[A.L.]

Ok I was partially screwing around but I've been listening to Bad Moon Rising again and is really is my favorite SY album. Actually I haven't heard a lot of their nineties stuff I have a feeling I wouldn't mind it. I'm not afraid of catchy songs, believe me.

I need to get on that.

With all the great stuff they have out, I hadn't listened to NYC Ghosts and Flowers in a while, and it's really incredibly good. It's one of those albums of theirs where you I can really feel them trying to do something new/different with the sounds and words. Unlike, say, Experimental Jet Set, which I noticed nobody declared as their favorite.

Tell you what, I got the "Dirty" re-issue and cranked it on a late night run to St. Louis last week. That record is really, really, good.

I know I'm supposed to like Evol the best, but man Dirty is just the shit.

Do you not have ears? Evol is the best.

[markee2004]

what about Goo?
I always liked that record the best..
especially "Song for Karen"

I guess I'm not a "real" fan though.

Damn straight

[markee2004]

Since I got the "corporate ghost" dvd I'm really starting to like goo again. Of course when asked, my favorite sonic youth is usually the one in my cd player.

Anything except "bad moon rising" I hate that one with a passion.

Dude that was there worst one ever

I keep seeing this thread title and thinking it means that Conan O'Brien is playing with Sonic Youth, and I get a funny mental image of Thurston and the gang, with big goofy Conan in his suit and tie and big goofy hair, rocking out a hot-rodded beat-up Jazzmaster to "Expressway To Yr Skull" or something.

I dont really like Sonic Youth.



There I said it.

I feel better.

[concubine]

Evol
Sister
Daydream Nation
Bad Moon Rising

If these were the only SY albums I ever owned (okay, and maybe the Kill Yr. Idols EP), I could live a totally happy life. Someone mentioned Experimental Jetset - I don't think it's a bad album per se, but I do think Bull in the Heather is one of the best songs of their ENTIRE career. I love that song.

[I'm Painting Again]

the SYR1 thing is really cool..i like that one a lot..i like ALL the SY stuff..they just totally rock..

[markee2004]

I don't like experimental jetset...(apart from bull in the heather) or nyc ghosts and flowers. Everything else they've done is beyond criticism.

[lonesome_tone]

as a total aside... conan used to play drums. he lent a kit to some fellow harvard students once. that band was galaxie 500. if that's not enough CRED to have SY on his show, well, don't know what is.
