I didn't put the Eternal on my list, I put Nurse.
Murray Street ? Well, sorry dude, I don't like it. Too mellow for me....

The only 2 I don't like are Sonic Nurse and Rather Ripped. Rather Ripped has got only one good song on it (Reena), and Sonic Nurse too (I Love You Golden Blue). The rest is terrible, especially the songs on Rather Ripped.

Rather Ripped
EJSTNS
The Eternal

i can put only two albums..

This board has the most absurdly random questions asked on such a daily basis and even though they may be ridiculous things to ask, we've all answered them over and over.

Oh, and the correct answer to this question is Nurse on.

The early ones.

a. Sorry. I haven't been here very long and I never knew this question was asked already. But, it's NOT absurd. I want to know what people think would represent a "lull" for Sonic Youth, and 3 albums in a row is my criteria for that. Sue me.

b. So, Nurse, Ripped, Eternal huh?

My opinion won't be popular around here, but its my opinion nonetheless...

A Thousand Leaves
New York City Ghosts & Flowers
Murray Street

ATL and NYCG&F are no-brainers for me, personally. Then its a question of whether you include Washing Machine or Murray Street...two albums I happen to LOVE! I actually think Washing Machine is in SY's all-time Top 5, so my response is ATL, NYCG&F, and MS. I'm still not sure why there's a love affair with ATL and NYCG&F around here, but to each his own...

What a stupid fuckin thread :) lol.

sonic nurse , rather ripped and... i still have not heard the new one yet so i cant comment but those two are plain awful.

ive always seen Sonic youth as a band who do albums in cycles of 3, so my least favourite is probably Washing Machine, A Thousand Leaves, NYGNF. even though i like alot of the songs. Washing machine is massively overrated.

This is a trick question. Sonic Youth have never put out 3 bad albums in a row.

Washing Machine
A Thousand Leaves
NYC Ghosts & Flowers

Not "bad", but "worst".....a relative thing. The Beatles had a worst song. Godard has a worst movie.
















Fuck, I'm regretting this thread, hahahaha.....

Leaves, NYCG&F, Murray St (I'm sorry Murray St)

ohhh i'm gonna get fucked

Dirty, Confusion and Daydream

Firstly, that's a shocking three albums to choose as worst. Listen to less Mac Demarco and more of those three albums. Secondly, it's three albums they put out in a row. For me it's Thousand leaves (only one great song on it), NYC ghost and flowers (only none great songs on it), and Murray Street which is an album I actually really like but hey, that's the list.

Any other three albums is just wrong.

11 years later, I still feel this way.

I couldn't agree more.

rather ripped, the eternal, syr9
