09.28.24 | Too many bangers. Should probably be a top 100 but I'm too lazy. |
gabba
09.29.24 | Sure, way too many, it could have easily been 100, but kudos for this great list!
Some songs I missed:
Beauty Lies in the Eye
JC
Shaking Hell
Hoarfrost
Sweet Shine
Flower |
ArsMoriendi
09.29.24 | What's a Nardwarts |
ReefaJones
09.29.24 | people who go to every Sonic Youth related discussion and bring up that they were douchbags when Nardwuar interviewed them over 30 years ago |
YoYoMancuso
09.29.24 | i don't agree with absolutely everything (how could i, there are 50 songs) but thank you for giving Rain on Tin the respect it deserves |
Mort.
09.29.24 | these guys were douchebags when nardwuar interviewed them, fuck em. hope someone kicks thurston moores dipshit face in |
Flashmobba
09.29.24 | damn no mote? stones?! dripping dream?!! reena and jams run free?!? and total trash at 47?!?
bold list but #1 makes it alright, props for the effort |
ReefaJones
09.29.24 | The order is not to be taken so seriously. The top 10 I'd say is pretty accurate for me but then it got too tiresome to "rank" the rest. I like all those songs so I just did the rest pretty randomly |
gabba
09.29.24 | New Thurston Moore album is decent, has great harmonies. Not as good as By the Fire tho. Happy to see both him and Kim releasing quality stuff, even if they went very different ways. |
ReefaJones
09.29.24 | Haven't checked their solo stuff/side projects yet |

imagine making music as bad as these guys did and then also being douchebags in interviews |
ReefaJones
09.29.24 | Of course Colton doesn't like them. Their music doesn't have cotton candy production and simple, conventional melodies to grab onto (well some of their stuff does actually but I doubt he got as far) lol |

09.29.24 | where’d my comment go nardwuar forever |
ReefaJones
09.29.24 | Nardwuar himself almost certainly was/is a huge Sonic Youth fan. |
Flashmobba
09.30.24 | I will say I wish these guys were better vocalists/wrote better vocal lines that serviced the songs, some otherwise great instrumentals were kinda ruined by Kim’s weird raspy out-of-tune beatnik style and Thurston’s paper-thin voice. Lee’s vocals were pretty great throughout, good speaking voice for the spoken word songs and nice singing voice too, if not so bland. Mary-Christ and My Friend Goo have some of the most annoying vocals I’ve ever heard, then you hear songs like Teen Age Riot and Reena and you’re like damn these guys could sound good if they tried |

09.30.24 | mote is GOAT(-tier). justice for rain king. can i tempt you with She's in a Bad Mood? Karen Revisited? etcetera. but yes good good list and a pertinent reminder of the strength and breadth of them, nice work |
ReefaJones
09.30.24 | Mote and Karen Revisited are both good songs agreed |
