Hopefully I got here before somebody posts to fellate yet another terrible band that's never had a hit single or a top 100 album. But probably not.

Guess he's one idol they didn't kill.

That band won't be Sonic Youth though. Dirty would like to have a word with you.

Troll fail.

Troll fail.

Way fail. Also, Lee Ranaldo is most definitely a real musician, and I dare you to tell me that Steve Shelley is not.

I stand corrected there, danduran.

Trolling however, wasn't my intention, as it simply means offering a dissenting opinion to what has already been agreed to as consensus. As it was inadvertantly the Boobies, that pretty much eliminates any possibility of being a Troll.

Falling into the trap, however, was a total fail.

say what you will about the rest of their discography, I question anyone's taste in music if they dislike Daydream Nation.

So a #83 on the Billboard charts album, with a #4 Modern Rock charts single doesn't count?


Or a #33 on the Billboard charts album, with a #7 Modern Rock charts single?


Or a #34 on the Billboard charts album, with a #13 Modern Rock charts single?


Not to mention...

Washing Machine: #58 on Billboard charts
Thousand Leaves: #85
Sonic Nurse: #64
Rather Ripped: #71


Fail. Troll.

/thanks wikipedia!

My wife (then girlfriend) got me that album for Christmas the first year we were going out... I still have it, even though I no longer have a turntable.

Great farking album.

Add a real musi...oh, wait..this is on Fark. Nickleback has some great musicians I bet

Maybe he will do for them what he did for the Butthole Surfers...

oh wait. Hmmm.

hey all, just swinging through to say that sonic youth sucks big donkey balls. that's all...

/awaaaay!

BRING DIAMANDA GALAS IN THE FOLD TOO!!!

I tried to get into Sonic Youth, but it's just out of tune noise and I can't do it. No thank you.

John_Rat_Safari: Maybe he will do for them what he did for the Butthole Surfers...

Hey now, "Independent worm Saloon"??? Great album, sure their old stuff is waaay better, but this albums got at least 5-6 great songs

ragnarqk: I tried to get into Sonic Youth, but it's just out of tune noise and I can't do it. No thank you.

try Daydream Nation then. It has some noisy part, but not as often as their other albums.

Diamond sea is one of my favorite songs ever, its a tad long though(17 min.)

I doubt it will be as cool as JPJ's collaboration with Diamanda Galas.

zunkus: Diamond sea is one of my favorite songs ever, its a tad long though(17 min.)

19! Even longer on the Destroyed Room compilation. (25 min)

It takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed too. fark you, subby.

"Kool Thing" is a great song. But they do tend to get a little experimental and sucky with some of their music.

Hopefully it will reinvigorate the band. They've been coasting since Washing Machine.

I still can't believe Steve Shelley left The Crucifarks.

/huge Sonic Youth fan
//possibly the loudest band I have ever seen live
///huge influence on my approach to the guitar

John Paul Jones is a real un-sung hero of the Zep. Good going Sonic Youth

SockMonkeyHolocaust: Hopefully it will reinvigorate the band. They've been coasting since Washing Machine.

seconded.

So to be a "great" band you have to appeal to the masses and have your songs played tons of times on generic pop/rock radio stations? So using your logic Creed is bigger than Jebus? Buckcherry had a hit, are they a "fantastic" band?
/STFU
//Great music like art does not have to appeal to the lowest common denominator

Sometimes I hate this site. Trolls suck.

SY's music may not be to your liking, but you can't say they're shiatty musicians. Steve Shelley is a little low-sticking WORKHORSE. I've had the privilege of seeing Daydream Nation through Sonic Nurse live every time they've come through Dallas and Austin, and that stupid headline ciouldn't be farther from the truth.

But then, I fell for it, so I'm just a stupid asshole too.

SockMonkeyHolocaust: Hopefully it will reinvigorate the band. They've been coasting since Washing Machine.

I agree in that they haven't really progressed since Washing Machine, but they've put out better albums than Washing Machine (Rather Ripped, Murray Street, etc)

SockMonkeyHolocaust: Hopefully it will reinvigorate the band. They've been coasting since Washing Machine.

While I agree that they've gotten less experimental and even "safer" (something even Thurston attests to), I do quite enjoy some of their more recent work, especially Murray Street.

/Everything from Sister through Washing Machine is pure win.

I've seen them 15-16 times starting in 1984 at the Rat in Boston with Live Skull and Pussy Galore


/thought Rather Ripped was a great album.

Yeah, cuz having a hit single is a measure of good music. Hit singles are for morans like you.
