Why doesn’t this record get recognition?
Best Sonic Youth Album
Jaxon Collins
James Wilson
Sonic Youth in general doesn't get much recognition
Unwind confirmed best song
Bentley Howard
Panty Lies is probably the worst Sonic Youth song i've ever listened to.
Nathaniel Martin
Not their best album by a country mile, not with Panty Lies and Junkie's Promise. But it's got some of their best relaxing songs and probably their best creepy song.
Evan James
>best sonic youth album
ftfy
Ayden Ward
>Panty Lies is probably the worst Sonic Youth song i've ever listened to.
Evan Perry
agreed
Eli Harris
mah nigga
Sonic Youth is pretty underrated, they're probably a top 10 rock band for me, one of the best and most consistent discographies ever
Jason Gray
that's my second favorite sy album after ddn. diamond sea is the song that got me into them.
Nathan Cooper
>Sonic Youth is pretty underrated
But they're very highly rated.
Nolan Murphy
because NYC Ghosts and Flowers is their best?
Michael Scott
Definitely one of their best. Disconnection Notice is an amazing song. If you are a more melodic person Murray Street or Sister would make sense as your #1 Album
these are the only two fuck ups in their amazing discography
Xavier Smith
>current year
>listening to Soy Youth
Tyler Hall
>DDN isn't in your top ten albums of all time
Brody Hernandez
>unironically namedropping the meme album
at least say Goo, it's like DDN but good
Angel Baker
Washing Machine has The Diamond Sea, it gets recognition. You wanna talk albums that don't get recognition? Pic fucking related, I think it's one of their best. Could be worse though, I almost never see people champion records like The Eternal or Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star.
Anthony Powell
Not that user but I've always liked Goo the least of their albums. Never could get into it, and even Dirty's only marginally better.
Jacob Johnson
under appreciated if anything
Andrew Diaz
Little Trouble Girl very good song
Zachary Green
DDN is their best. it's essentially their interpretation of SST hardcore at the peak of SST hardcore. they were completely involved with the scene at the time. the songwriting is the most complex, the heavily overdubbed of guitar makes everything sound dreamy and the production is the most enveloping. it's a 9/10 easily
Carter Foster
>The Eternal or Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star.
love them both, jetset was my first.
>pic
i only like a couple songs off it, dude ranch, paper cup, and golden blue.
Angel Jackson
I've only listened to Daydream Nation. Where do I go next?
James Morris
all of that is true of the opening track. literally nothing remarkable follows on the whole record.
Isaac Taylor
Sister or begin with Ciccone Youth's Whitey album and go chronologically
Cameron Bennett
I love DDN but for the life of me I will never understand why Teenage Riot of all songs is put on a pedestal. I like probably 70% of the album more than it.
Evan Ward
t. hasn't listened past the first track
[spoiler] the sprawl is best [spoiler]
Thomas Carter
I think Pattern Recognition is one of their best from that era. Only songs I'm not crazy about on it are Stones, New Hampshire and Peace Attack. Love the rest of it, though.
Tyler Parker
Their self titled EP is best. Nothing else is better than 6/10
Easton Nelson
Did they ever found the autists in the picture?
Justin Richardson
agreed
Isaac Jackson
Aside from Karen Revisited and Plastic Sun I can't get too enthusiastic about Murray Street. The rest of it is fine I suppose, I can sit through the record just fine but I'm not in love with the other songs, you know?
Brayden Price
>diamond sea
Henry Brown
definitely understand
it was a grower for me but it's also not for everyone, even if you like sonic youth
all of my friends that are die hard fans have different favorite records by them.
I'm not super into their noisy / experiment stuff, but I would have to say Sister is my second favorite.
Jason Perry
I can see that, especially with their post-Dirty material, and increasingly so the further you go. By the time you get to the 00s stuff no one can agree on what's good and what isn't.
Leo Walker
Meme albums are meme albums for a reason you know
Adam Gonzalez
i agree, everyone I know is definitely split on their 00's records
I'm the only one of my friends who likes it at all though, but it's top 3 for me
Carson Cook
I think people are conflating ratings with popularity
Leo Bennett
that's a great album. this is my fav SY though... and I'm normally a noise-head
Wyatt King
Logan Lewis
It's really not that great. I mean it's pretty good, Saucer-Like and Skip Tracer are massively underrated imo, but outside of Dirty, Washing Machine is my least favorite of their 90s albums. A Thousand Leaves on the other hand is amazing.
