The Sonik Youth Ranked (+ The Best Songs From Each Album)
Sonic Youth's LP's ranked and my favorite song from each album. I'm a pretty devout / obsessive fan, so this list is pretty reliable. Reposting since last time the list glitched out and listed each album twice and with incorrect artwork. |

EVOL
"Madonna, Sean, and Me" - - - - - We're gonna kill The California girls / We're gonna fire the exploding load in the milkmaid maiden head / We're gonna find the meaning of feeling good / And we're gonna stay there as long as we think we should |
