I've heard of it, but I don't really like you

I guess that would be closest to "b"

never heard of sonic youth, or hate sonic youth because eu
likes it?

i hope you have a contingency plan for the day when your ego
deflates...

i sold all my sonic youth records, but i'm sure it was just
because i needed the money more than the sonic youth. i
used the money to buy house and breakcore records.

Sonic Youth will someday invent a genre known as "Grunge"

...How long have Kim and Thurston been married ?

sister, evol, and daydream nation are three of my most
favorite records

the rest have let me down, so sonic youth is very hit or
miss for me, but i still love them

Teenage Riot is probably my favourite song by them. Bad Moon
Rising is great to listen to on a cheap eighties record
plater for maximum Reaganomics wasteland/post-hardcore
effect. I'm not really interested in anything after "Dirty",
Glen Brianca was better anyhow.

Dinosaur Jr. invented "grunge". Sonic Youth were too artsy
for the plaid shirt guys.

Sonic Youth is great.
Goo may be my favourite rock album...

the early (Confusion Is Sex...) and late 90's (Washing
Machine, A Thousand Leaves...) styles are excellent too; i
like their latest, "quiet", albums (Murray Street, Sonic
Nurse) less though.

Did you hear their releases with matt gustavson ? pretty

definitely interesting !

By the way, some of Jim O'Rourke solo stuff is very nice
("Eureka"...). I heard he has just left the band a couple of
months ago.

Sonic Youth are Art School Fakers - end of story. I saw
those cunts once at T in the park. Waste of time. They don't
fucking mean a word of it. What's her face - the bitch.
Twirling around like a twat she was. I nearly flicked a lit
cigarette off her head. But just missed. If only it hit her.
Maybe bring her out of her fucking stage school fucking
daydream. Daydream nation. They were right but it applied to
them. Fucking faking phonies.

Washing Machine is GGGGGGGReat. Although I have a few albums
that I think are also excellent, but that one most. I much
prefer Kim's songs to Thurston's and Lee's...

Murray Street & Sonic Nurse a few months ago...

haven't read this topic, but the topic name was enough...
it's maybe the best existing band in the world....
everyboddy on this forum check syr6, hidros 3 and
diskaholics anonymus trio....
those are not song based albums, more adventurous
improv/noise albums, maybe they will gain some popularity.

of normal albums, my best 3 :

sister
washing mashine
evol

I remember SY's Goo, Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet,
and Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual came out at
about the same time. That was a great year for music.

I bet he'd lie anyway.

he's one of those types that constantly goes round and says
"oh wow, haven't you heard of these guys!? JESUS! heh, lucky
you know me, eh"

and then one day you say, "I've been listening to that new
album by This Band Obviously Does Not Exist, it's great" and
he'll go "oh, This Band Obviously Does Not Exist is sooo
last wednesday, fuck it, have you heard that new double EP
by The George The Fuckmonster?"

etc.

euphonic's threads are not thought-provoking. they're

vibes
