You're on CRACK. Jet Set over Sonic Nurse is pure tomfoolery. Bad Moon over Sister and Daydream??? Evol is better than Bad Moon! I call ragebait.

6. Sonic Youth (1982)
stopped reading immediately after this
--largest gap yet--
13. Murray Street
14. Dirty
15. Rather Ripped
16. The Eternal
(but okay this is fairly based)
|
| |
Bad Moon at 1 is such a based choice
|
| |
No hyperbole, among my 20 or so all time favorite albums.

Death Valley ‘69 IS a banger for all time, I’ll admit
|

Lydia Lunch 🥰🥰

Death Valley '69 is the centerpiece of Bad Moon Rising, but whenever I think of that album, I think of the beautiful combo of Halloweeen & Flower. Kim shined on those tracks, once again and forever more.
|
| |
Fr lol, Death Valley 69 has always been an underwhelming finale for me (Lydia Lunch and Thurston rly bring out the most affected, unconvincing side of each other) but I always stick around for those Kim tracks. Halloween in particular keeps that album floating around the top 5 of their discog

Halloween feels pretty Velvet Underground-ish to my ear. Am I making that up?
|
| |
the sparse arrangement, prod style and stripped-down pop ethos are very TVU yeah, but the guitar hook and Kim vocal are unmistakably SY
top 1 songs written about Henry Rollins' sex appeal (maybe there is a rival squirreled away in some obscure pocket of Lou Reed's solo discog though idk)
|
| |
Ye Halloween is an amazing track. should’ve been on the regular track list.
