Grievous Angel
Beast of Burden
The quick and the dead
Lists of fave Sonic Youth tunes please!
Mine from memory in no particular order:
Star Power
Society is a Hole
Kill Yr Idols
Death Valley 69
Shaking Hell
Who went to see them at ULU in, errrr, was it 85 or 86? With the pumpkins everywhere? First college tour after that scatter of pub gigs...
Not sure they ever did anything quite as good as Live Skull's Raise The Manifestation (better than You Made Me Realise? I think so). They were better than Squirrel Bait and Phantom Tollbooth though. So that's alright then.
I seem to recall Thurston Moore wearing an "I Killed Christgau" T-shirt. The whole Forced Exposure scene thought Xgau was a cunt. I never cared much one way or another.
That's my view, certainly. I think they lost it when they didn't release Teenage Riot as a proper single. (Errrr, is my memory right??) They were FANTASTIC from Kill Yr Idols through to Day Dream Nation, though EVOL was a bit patchy.Rachel Verinder said:They turned into a parody of themselves after Daydream Nation.
