It is....what we are seeing is something symptomatic of a forum disease, where the hard-core fans fall prey to popular "in-crowd" opinions about the early albums being somehow better, because it's "cool" to think that way.

Talk to almost anyone else who is not a hardcore SY forum nerd, and they'll agree with me.

What do I care if almost everyone here has bad taste? Why don't you stop typing messages about it?

Why do you think everyone here has bad taste? You seem pretty conceited. Not everyone has to agree with you.

My preference:

1. Daydream Nation
2. Sister
3. Goo
4. Washing Machine
5. EVOL
6. Sonic Nurse
7. Murray Street
8. A Thousand Leaves
9. NYC Ghost and Flowers
10. Dirty
11. Confusion is Sex
12. Rather Ripped
13. Bad Moon Rising
14. Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
15. Made In USA
16. Goodbye 20th Century

My list is right.

See Assblaster's comment above--he was using the fact that most of the people who had posted in this thread so far dislike Rather Ripped in order to try and prove that it is a bad album and that I have poor taste for liking it. He is the conceited one. Are you his friend or something?

Mine changes around a lot too. It depends on what mood I am in, what album I happen to be listening to more at the time, phases of the moon, weather, etc.

It may be fun to you, but it's not funny to be a troll. You need to stop immediately following behind me and criticizing me whenever I express my opinion.

1. Sister
2. Daydream Nation
3. Bad Moon Rising
4. Confusion
5. Goo
6. EVOL
7. A Thousand Leaves
8. Murray Street

12. NYC Ghosts & Flowers
13. Experimental Jet Set
14. Dirty
15. Sonic Youth

Yes, I know what a troll is. Your mother is a troll.

Nope. Don't know him. Never met him. Don't care. There's just way too much arguing on this board. It just seems trite and pointless. People are always going to have different opinions on the music discussed in this board, so what's the point of name calling and insults? It just comes across as stupid. I mean, we are all talking to each other via computers. Almost no one here really knows who anybody else really is, so it's just really stupid to argue with people we don't know and can't physically confront in real life. That's all I have to say about that. I'm done arguing from now on. No more arguing for me!

Like I care.

It's people like you who ruin forums. There's a stupid asshole like you in every forum.

The only thing that ruins message boards is this insessant arguing and childish name calling! Can't we all just get a bong? Let's not fight! We're all here cuz we love Sonic Youth. Let's not become hateful jerks who can't take an opinion and just turn it into stupidity. Let's settle our differences by conversing reasonably and respectfully to other's opinions.

Or something like that.

This list changes every day based on what mood I am in. I appreciate every one of these releases in their own way... :)

My problem with you is that you are not singling out the source of the problem: Assblaster, but rather blaming it on me.

You're obsessed with me. Are you gay? Because I really don't want you to suck my cock or anything.

All you need is love, love, love, love is all you need.

Daycare is obsessed with AssBlaster. It is quite obvious.

You follow behind every single post I make in every thread, and turn it into a fight between me and you.

I know your tactics....Like I said, there is one of you in every forum. You just posted about how you get entertainment out of taunting me, and it's obvious that you are relentless about it and are not planning on giving up.

See? I'm right, as always.

AB, he used to be obsessed with me. Don't worry. It'll wear off.

I just stopped arguing with you because although you have a lapse of judgement concerning Sonic Youth, you seem to have good taste in other music. I can't say the same for Assblaster, nor does he seem to be a good person at all.

Basically.

Yeah. I'll be sure to give due credit when I use it.

I'm not singling anyone imparticular. Several people are ruining this forum. I include myself in this accusation. But seriosuly, some of you guys just use this forum as an excuse to badger on ad nauseum. Quit insulting each other and just get back to the issues. Stop dragging each other through the mud and stop acting like a bunch of bratty children. It's immature and very unbecoming and frankly, I'm sick of seeing it in the forum. This is fucking stupid!!! Stop it. Just stop it! You're tearing this family apart!!!

Blah Blah Blah

I'd talk about SY but they aren't doing anything worth discussing.

Then don't post.

No. It isn't a 'Discuss Sonic Youth' forum. It is a fan forum. I'm a Sonic Youth fan. Stop whining you fucking twat.

uh, getting back to the topic at hand . . .
