List your best and worst 3 successive Sonic Youth albums:

My worst: SY EP, Confusion is Sex, Bad Moon Rising

Best: EVOL, Sister, Daydream Nation.

Ah, I like them all!

best: confusion, bad moon, evol

worst: goo, dirty, experimental jet set

best: ddn, sonic nurse, dirty
worst: goo, confusion is sex, washing machine (except diamond sea)

Hey. I love all three of those!!!

Well... thats the wonderful thing about this band, I think..:)

best: goo, sonic nurse, sister/washing machine

worst: rather ripped (if i had to choose), dirty, experimental jet set

Best: Confusion is Sex, Nurse, Sister, Daydream Nation, ATL... I can't really pick top three.

Worst - Washing Machine, Whitey Album, Washing Machine.

best: everything except dirty

worst: dirty

:eek::eek::eek:

Yes, this.

Um, you guys are smarter than this, right? He asked for best and worst SUCCESSIVE albums, not your favorite overall. What 3 albums that FOLLOW EACH OTHER are the best/worst...

best- evol- sister- daydream nation

worst- goo - dirty- experimental jet set, trash and no star (even though this is my favorite 90's sonic youth album, but dirty is my least favorite album and goo is meh for a sonic youth record)

I can't choose sorry, I really enjoy all of their albums. Each has their own flavor, so to speak. So I will say none.

I'm still shocked by his choise though.

Best: EVOL, Sister, Daydream Nation
Worst: Goo, Dirty, Experimental Jet Set...(not that these are bad, there are plenty of songs on Goo and Dirty that I like, but also plenty that I don't like).

I'm gonna go with Death & Maiden's response.

i get no credit for my response?

Let's start with WORST: Rather Ripped | Goo | Daydream Nation (it's a good album, but i'm kinda getting sick of it. Besides it was never in my top 5, even 7 SY proper albums)
BEST: Bad Moon Rising | NYC Ghosts + Flowers | Sonic Nurse

best sonic youth albums (they all rule over anyone else though)

Daydream Nation
Sister
Evol


worst sonic youth albums

Experimental Jet Set Trash & No Star

I guess I just took it for granted that everyone on here could read.

Me too. For a second i thought my english was no good, but some of you got the point.

best: NYC Ghosts & Flowers, Murray Street, Sonic Nurse
worst: sonic youth, confusion is sex, bad moon rising

I like Daydream Nation and Evol, but for some reason I really never got into Sister that much. Oh well. Every sonic youth album is good...just some are better than others, that's all.

Wow, can't believe I wrote this 1 1/2 years ago! It seriously feels like just yesterday.

Best: EVOL, Sister, Daydream Nation

Worst: Dirty, Experimental Jet Set, Washing Machine

Best: Evol, Sister, Daydream Nation

best: sonic nurse, rather ripped, the eternal
worst: washing machine, a thousand leaves, nyc ghost & flowers

best. A Thousand Leaves, NYC Ghosts and Flowers, Murray Street. definatley. (Although EVOL Sister DDN is pretty fucking good)

worst. Goo Dirty ejstans although i love dirty, i really dont like Goo and ejstans doesn't really get me rockin'

it's wonderful to see there's this range of variety amongst sonic youth fans.. it's like different tastes, but in good music overall..

it's not about of worst or best albuns. it's about when my feeling tell me to hear some album. so i don't have that kind of choice.

same, all of the albums bring me to a different place when i listen. that being said, i'm really not a fan of ghosts and flowers.

Washing Machine A Thousand Leaves NYC Ghosts & Flowers best

putting 3 in a row as a worst together can't be done

worst: sonic nurse, rather ripped and the eternal

best: all the others.

Pretty much the most obvious response possible from me actually.

Worst:

NYC Ghosts & Flowers - Murray Street - Sonic Nurse (the only one of these that's even close to being a favourite is Murray Street. However, the flip side is that NYCG&F and SN are the only studio albums that I've so much not clicked with that I've never really listened to anywhere enough to feel "set" in my judgments of them. So maybe it'll change with revisits. I have refrained from saying Sonic Nurse - Rather Ripped - The Eternal, because although the only one of those I really love is RR, I simply haven't spent nearly enough time with The Eternal to decide where it sits.)

Best:

EVOL - Sister - Daydream Nation (although, as good as clearly is, I'm not CRAZY about Sister. EVOL and DDN are constantly fighting it out for my all time no.1 ranking though, so...)

i love that album so much. its going on tonight

Good Lord...

I don't think I've disliked any of the albums I've heard as a whole, despite the odd dodgy track. The albums I've heard are:

Daydream Nation
Goo
Dirty
Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
Washing Machine
A Thousand Leaves
Murray Street

Best: BMR, Evol, Sister
Less Great: Goo, Dirty. Experimental Jet Set. All three of which were redeemed by Washing Machine.

Best
Washing Machine, A Thousand Leaves, NYC Ghosts and Flowers

Worst
Goo, Dirty (I quite enjoy EJSTNS and DDN doesn't come close to worst)

worst: washing machine, a thousand leaves, nyc ghosts and flowers

best: evol, sister, daydream nation
