Sonic Youth Band • Page 2

I just saw that doc last week and had never heard that song before, so when I went to listen to the record after the movie, I was definitely a little disappointed.

 

I'll get on it. The vibe is something I've heard a lot about, but I haven't checked it out because I'm afraid it'll be more ambient vibe than songs, which is fine, but I think this band is best when they balance the two a little. I did really like the video you posted though so that's a good sign

 

The Kim songs on Washing Machine are so fucking good

 

This makes me really want to listen to it.

 

for some reason I always go on a big Sonic Youth binge at the beginning of summer. I still wouldn't even say I have a deep knowledge of their entire discography but maaaaaaaaan Kim kills it on Washing Machine

 

The first song already has me convinced. Holy shit. About to go down a Sonic Youth rabbit hole myself. It usually starts with me listening to an album of theirs I haven't heard.

EDIT: and then Thurstons first lines are "100 dollars used to be enough" hahaha this album is legit why did I sleep on it

 

The title track ripsssssssss

 

It's really easy to stick to your favorite stuff with this band, there's still a lot I haven't touched for like no real reason

 

holy shit Kim Gordon is 65 today

 

Kim “Medicare eligible” Gordon

 

@ChaseTx what did you end up thinking of Sonic Youth??

 

I enjoyed Daydream Nation a lot. Need to spend more time with it and dig in further

 

Awesome. Goo, Sister, and Dirty I'd recommend for the next 3! That stretch from Sister to Dirty is such an incredible run

 

Thanks! Goo was gonna be my next one, after I give DN a couple more listens

 

I still can't believe how long Daydream Nation took to click when teenage riot is one of the best songs I've heard

 

excited for you to hear Goo

 

is that one your favorite? feel like I rarely hear you actively stan for stuff, just an acknowledgement that you like it

Kool thing was life changing at like 14 lol

 

yeah I'm more into Kim than Thurston, got hard to listen to him after he called Jezebel "gender fascism" haha

and yeah I def listen to everything but don't have many legit faves

 

I feel ya, hard not to feel a weird mix of feelings hearing Thurston say "all you men are slime" on 100%. by contrast, Kool Thing is still extremely cool, she oozes charisma

 

Been listening to some Sonic Youth lately. I'm more familiar with their late 80s/early 90s material, so I decided to give Rather Ripped a shot since I love Incinerate. Holy crap what an album.. Pink Steam, Reena, Jams Runs Free.. so many gems

 

Good album, but Murray Street (2002) and Sonic Nurse (2004) are better.

 

got really into Evol this weekend. that, Goo, and Murray Street are my favs probably.

 

All 3 of these albums are in my regular rotation tbh. Sonic Nurse is sometimes my favorite Sonic Youth album period.

 

Murray Street is my second-favorite SY album as often as not.

 

I really need to give Murray Street a listen! Seems to be a favorite pretty consistently.

I think the only pre-Daydream Nation album I've heard is Sister. I remember not liking it much
