First Favorite SY song
 

Cliche, but Teenage Riot.

Sweet Shine.

100%

SUGAR

FUCKING

KANE!!

love at first skronk

still one of my favorites

I'm gonna say, "Titanium Expose". I heard it in the skateboard video, "Welcome To Hell" by Toy Machine. & the skater whose segment it was, Ed Templeton. An artisitic man in his own right.

My first favorite was Erics Trip when I got screaming fields of Sonic Love

That was my first SY cd to.

My first favorite SY song was Dirty Boots.

Titanium Expose

Silver Rocket, but I haven't gotten tired of it.

Catholic Block! Heard it in an old 80's Santa Cruz skate movie along with White Kross (two perfect SY introduction songs in my opinion). I was blown away pretty quickly by these songs (and lots of the soundtrack featuring other sst bands). I held a tape recorder up to the tv speakers so I could have the songs on tape. Catholic Block is still one of my faves. So is White Kross for that matter.

I think it was the whole BMR album. That counts as one song, right?

Same here....

My g/f at the time had Goo. RH had always give props to SY, so I listened. Not bad. A few spins later, I really "heard" Mote. Suddenly all the dissonance made sense.

I can't remember.

I've had many over the years but I guess the first was Bull In The Heather since it was the first SY song I ever heard.

Schizophrenia

i have to add that the first sy song i've ever heard was kool thing and i hated it!!!

teenage riot i thought it was decent and so was schizophrenia. but the one that truly blew me away was sugar kane, as i posted before

now i love the first three i mentioned here!!

my first fav. was BECUZ

bull in the heather :)

mine was Teenager riot, my older brother bought daydream nation on vinyl, i was well cool

did i say "teenager riot"??? fuckin hell sorry, you know i ment teenage riot, which by the oxford english dictionary is .... "a riot consisting of a group of teenagers"
probably not...

World Looks Red. A live version was on a compilation LP that I bought in about 1985, and it blew my mind.

Mote
First song i heard by sonic youth and also one of the best i've ever heard
Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechspickseffffffffffffffff fffuuuuuzzzzzz
i love the noise part at the end!!!

Starpower, when it wasd released. I was 14. I've always loved rythym, so that hit me, but also I thin it was maybe I'd heard a female vocalist in that kind of a band (alternative stuff was much less prevalent in those days!) and that impressed me enormously.

I can't be sure, but I would have heard it either on John Peel's show or in Probe records in Liverpool.

KOOL THING. And yeah it was the first song I heard. But I did want to hear it over and over again so it does count.

Good pick, that's currently one of my favorites along with Inhuman and Improvision Ajoutee.

Mine is Sugar Kane, when I first bought Dirty and used to listen to it 4 times a day since at the time it was better than any other CD I had. Still a really good song, it took me a while before I realized what he was referring to.

ahh, i remember this vividly (which is unusual as my memory is generally a complete sack of shit).

it was theresa's sound world, i remember hearing dirty and after a few listens i kept coming back to this song, there was something eerie about it, the chords didn't sound like anything i'd heard in any other song, ever.

there's plenty of other songs that i prefer to it now, but the otherworldly sound of it really made me want to explore sonic youth further. seems like such a long time ago now.

Has to be Wish Fulfillment for me. Still love it but my favourite song by them changes every week now.

mine was actually free city rhymes. i just love how it seems to start with these strange abstract guitar structures that slowly morph into this amazingly beautiful piece. and then at the end it just takes off...

Mine was teenage riot after I heard it for the first time I wanted to keep hearing it over and over.

Sugar Kane was the one that put it in my head that buying a SY album might be a good idea.

Still has a special place in my heart.

Bull in the Heather.

100%

Experimental Jet Set... was the first SY album I heard, and "Bull in the Heather" is the first song I remember liking.

it was sunday for me

kill yr idols was about the sane time too

Nevermind (What Was It Anyway) , surprising, it was in a Virgin Megastore ...

my first albums were Sister and Washing Machine,
i loved Schizophrenia, easy choice,
and on washing machine, Saucer-Like was the first one i really fell into.
