After years of deliberation and argument and yelling and shouting and fighting and insulting, a sonic Saint, Demonrail666 over at the Sonic Youth Gossip Forum, decided to take a survey of everyone's top records. He asked each board member to send him their list of their 5 GREATEST RECORDS EVER! Of course this list is severely skewed by the weird tastes of most Sonic Youth fanatics.

In descending order

The TOP 20 GREATEST ALBUMS (as chosen by the Sonic Youth Forum)

20. SLINT - SPIDERLAND


19. TOM WAITS - RAIN DOGS


18. HAWKWIND - SPACE RITUAL


17. PINK FLOYD - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON


16. THE BIRTHDAY PARTY - JUNKYARD


15. SONIC YOUTH - A THOUSAND LEAVES


14. RADIOHEAD - KID A


13. THE STOOGES - FUNHOUSE


12. TELEVISION - MARQUEE MOON


11. SONIC YOUTH - SISTER

10. DINOSAUR JR. - YOU'RE LIVING ALL OVER ME

9. SONIC YOUTH - SONIC NURSE

8. THE BEATLES - THE BEATLES

7. CAPTAIN BEEFHEART - TROUT MASK REPLICA

6. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT

5. SONIC YOUTH - EVOL

4. SONIC YOUTH - BAD MOON RISING

3. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO - THE VELVET UNDERGROUND

2. MY BLOODY VALENTINE - LOVELESS

1. SONIC YOUTH - DAYDREAM NATION

Fascinating. If you asked the Internet freaks of today you definitely wouldn't have the White Album that high and you'd probably have Spiderland even further up.

There's way too much Radiohead, for sure.

EDIT: I dunno, man - there's six SY titles out of 20. A bit more and we'd be talking almost 50%, while there's, for instance, zero Neil Young. And wasn't Metal Machine Music named the best album of the '70s on this very board?

Also, that list is white and male as fuck. OK, there's Kim, Nico and Maureen, and Bilinda and Debbie, but would they be listed if they weren't surrounded by dudes?

Aye, because the people of SYG don't pick their favourite music based on the enjoyment of the music, instead basing their preference on what sex the band members are and whether they are the correct (face the facts) race. I always knew SYG was racist and sexist (but only to a point, as long as the female to male ratio is in favour of the superior (face the facts)) male).

I'm not sure adding Neil Young to diversify the playing field would help, If I'm honest.
