nice topic

Sonic Nurse
Murray Street
Rather Ripped

what was that, a compliment from Atari on a tread that I made????????
surely not.

I concur.

i think nurse is great, almost faultless, but murray street has an amazing warmth and beauty to it,

a month ago i would have said nurse but murray street as time proves is better,

i dont really rate rr

Sonic Nurse is amazing.
Murray Street ain't bad.
Rather Ripped is terrible.

Actually Rather Ripped wins easily, it's their best record in 15 years.

Same here

except their best record in 9 years.

Murray Street 9.8




Sonic Nurse 7.0































Rather Ripped 4.5

I kind of never got around to giving Sonic Nurse a decent sit-down listen. Rather Ripped is nice but I didn't find anything that made the album as a whole all that memorable. Maybe "Rats."

But Murray Street is a stand out. The coolness of The Empty Page, Karen Revisited is just poetically beautiful, Sympathy for the Strawberry brings the sexy Kim vocals that made Washing Machine so great.

Murray Street.

no

fucking

doubt.

I'm kind of with what Moshe said on the rankings.

Too hard for me to list 1,2,3.....

but I will say, the trio is my favorite music of the 2000's so far. So I CAN make a list.

1. (MS, SN, RR)
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

It's after SY where this becomes tougher.

that's too difficult... murray probably has my favorites then rr then sn

ms at the moment, although i have been listening to rr quite a bit lately

Sonic Nurse.
A classic no doubt.

this is a tough one so im nit gonna vote yet and just listen to these three albums for at least a couple days.

i will say i dont understand hate for any sonic youth album

at all.

I'd like to take this opportunity to agree completely with Tokolosh.

Nurse blew me away with how good it was, and how enduring. Over a year later and I was still playing it constantly.
