Yeah, but you don't have to. They're not really along the same line or on the same path though, either. I remember hearing, or reading, somewhere that he wanted to start something that's just really pop and fun. He accomplished that. I dig Glassjaw more, too, if I chose between the two.

I think I am a fan of pop-music insofar as it refers to hooks in music. But I enjoy the twisted interpretations of pop music. In my eye, even Sonic Youth is a pop band, as far as their major label releases go.

Here's some of the bands I enjoy aside from Sonic Youth:

Animal Collective
Deerhoof
the Beatles
the Velvet Underground
Jimi Hendrix
Ween
Brian Jonestown Massacre
the Rolling Stones
the Doors
Jefferson Airplane
Nirvana
Meat Puppets
Pixies
Smashing Pumpkins
REM
Johnny Cash
Nofx
Rancid
Operation Ivy
Built to Spill
Weezer
Neutral Milk Hotel
Olivia Tremor Control
Elf Power
Television
Talking Heads
Devendra Banhart
Wu-Tang Clan
Outkast
the Beastie Boys
Rage Against the Machine
Sublime
the Grateful Dead
Janis Joplin
Yo La Tengo
Beck
Blonde Redhead
the Beach Boys
Pink Floyd


there's more but i'm going to stop. I enjoy weird for the sake of weird music sometimes too, and instrumental bands like tortoise, no neck blues band, sunburned hand of the man.

umjammer atomsk 10.14.2006 11:32 PM

The Fall, John Zorn stuff, The Birthday Party, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Can, Neil Young, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Edan, Blockhead, DJ Shadow, Animal Collective, Cat Power, VU, CCR, Zombies, Minutemen, Patti Smith, Yoko Kanno, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Throbbing Gristle, Bob Dylan, Suicide, Deerhoof, Clinic, Melt Banana, Boris, Angelo Badalamenti, Jim O'Rourke, Talking Heads, Kou Ootani, Shiro Sagiyu, etc....

UVRAY 10.15.2006 03:09 AM

Well actually, my all time favorite band is The Jesus And Mary Chain.

I also like many of the bands already mentioned by everyone so far.

But here are a few of my most cherished. In no particular order:

The Velvet Underground.
The Sex Pistols
The Ramones.
Beastie Boys.
Blondie.
The Associates / Billy McKenzie.
Led Zeppelin.
Motorhead.
AC/DC.
Leonard Cohen.
Janes Addiction.
Adam And The Ants. :o


There are just so many. But those are a few anyway. I have to say I would have always expected Sonic Youth fans to also like many other good bands but I have been truly impressed with most of the choices many of you have made in this thread. Some of those bands mentioned in this whole thread are very much under-appreciated by the masses as a whole.

But people of taste are always going to be in the minority. Simply because Sonic Youth fans are unlikely to be sheeple.
