sorry jenn, small flowers crack concrete is awesome. I saw em play it live in memphis for the syr show with the film of NYC subway playing behind them and it was magical.

Agree on some, disagree on others. Though it would be helpful if you included the list in the topic. It's possible that some people here did not receive the link to it. It's even possible that... (bear with me) someone might not have facebook or tumblr.

I know, right? Like lol omg

Apparently I've been drinking.

I see a working link in the first post.
And in Jenn's signature too.
We're in Sonic Gossip section.
Which means stuff i supposed to be related to sy.
A click to check the content isn't much hard work.
That said, it could have been better "advertised", I get what you mean.

The initial post linked my blog, which is now offline. I started a Tumblr to salvage the list. I was neglectful in adding said link.

Any replies to this post are futile...this forum is officially a part of my past.

Someone reading the first post who didn't subscribe would think it was nonsense. Brand new SY fan perhaps?

Well, let me "futily" (?) add that I don't even know how tumblr works, but what Severin meant is probably just that a thread title like "30 best/ 10 worst sy songs" could have been more self-explanatory for people who are not keen on investigating for themselves.

As for the rest, unless you're planning on having chabib delete all your "traces" on here, I guess people will have more than a few interesting things to discuss about the stuff you posted on here, even in a future with no jennthebenn "active" in this big ol' blue. (I can't write in foreing languages today, but that's a compliment).

Severian 04.03.2012 06:10 PM
I swear when I looked before- oh yeah, my aderral.
Really I didn't see anything but a blank post before.

SonicBebs 04.04.2012 01:52 AM
Why you going Jenn ?

pantophobia 04.04.2012 09:10 AM
she is focusing on her writing right now

Antiverse 09.22.2015 10:32 AM
Someone, please.. give me something to like about Early American. After several, countless listens.. I have yet to find anything I like about it. Love SY though!

Clearly Junkie's Promise is the song to skip on Washing Machine; I can do without the post-Cobain heroin drama on an otherwise stellar Sonic platter, overall one of my favorites. Hopefully the vinyl reissues come on spin cycle colored vinyl.

One of the great things about SY is that there's probably not much concensus among fans as to the best songs. So many great songs and different styles to choose from. For example, I like The Diamond Sea very much, but not nearly as much as a lot of you do. Same with Rain on Tin. Neither song would make my top 10. With a band like Pink Floyd, on the other hand, I'd bet that most of their true fans would put Echoes among their top 10 Floyd songs (and they would be correct, but that's a separate discussion).

Maybe that's why when you see SY live, there's not a single song that they feel obligated to play. Whereas a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert without Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama would be unthinkable.

Sidebar: Obviously cover bands are trite sad circuses, but I always thought it would be fun to do a Floyd cover band exclusively focused on their pre-Dark Side material, second set culminating in Echoes. Book gigs exclusively in natural/ancient ampitheaters.
End sidebar.

No, in Junkieīs Promise I understood when first time listening waschine machine this album is something really different than experimental. Still really like Junkie. Anyway I donīt skip any songs in any album even I donīt of course also like all the songs in some albums.

You can ask me into that project (I could try to play anything else but not keyboards). I could also be Syd who play only one chord :)
