pbradley's got a point.

Although it seems from most of This Is Not Here's replies that although we're 4 pages deep into this thread, he's not eally that open to anyone's suggestions.

burn the whole SY discog on a DVDr.

haha, nice.

Ya gotta have some of Lee's songs, no? Skip Tracer, Eric's Trip, Mote?

I guess I'm the only person here who doesn't like Expressway?

You are. Expressway rules.

But Lee songs yr right about.... especially if this dude wants "pop". I mean, "Genetic" for cryin' out loud!

When I get home I'm gonna dig up the SONIC LOVE mix that I made for my wife back in the day and post the tracklist. It made her appreciate 'em (and she's not into noise) and yet I made sure to feature some variety.

maybe this collection?

1 Teenage Riot
2 Bull In the Heather
3 Sunday
4 Disappearer
5 The Sprawl
6 (I Got a) Catholic Block
7 Washing Machine
8 Unmade Bed
9 What a Waste
10 I Don't Want to Push It
11 Death Valley 69
12 Starpower
13 Hoarfrost
14 Shadow of a Doubt
15 Renegade Princess
16 Expressway to Yr Skull

Why did I always think noisereductions was 16? Hah, unless he got married at 16 and back in the day was when he was a preteen.

My head hurts, I thought a 12 year old was 16 years old today.

I'm 27.

You were probably thinking of atsonicpark. He's only 16 (inches tall).

What about Purr,thats pretty popy in my eyes.

once i went to the record store and i listened some kid ask to the seller if he knew the band who plays "sugar kane", then the seller hesitate for a moment, and said "i think it's sonic something...maybe... young??!! - jesus! i thought and laugh to my self - than i helped him and said to the kid - "you should listen first "Daydream Nation", "Evol" or maybe "Sister", one song it's not good enough for you learn about this great band" - i think it's a good start to meet sonic youth.

Sonic Young, haha.

Give her an ebayed copy of hits are for squares.
period.

actually joking aside.. thats the best option.. its easily digestable sonic fodder for virgins to chew on... not bad at all, has a bit of everything and is fine!

added cdr with terrys carrot, silver session and master dik is of course a necessity!

the mix I made for my wife:

1. I Dreamed I Dream
2. Shadow Of A Doubt
3. Star Power
4. Tuck N Dar
5. Kotton Krown
6. Addicted To Love
7. Kool Thing
8. That's All I Know (Right Now)
9. Mama, You've Been On My Mind
10. Sugar Kane
11. The Diamond Sea (Edit)
12. Superstar
13. The Empty Page
14. Dude Ranch Nurse
15. Reena
16. Jams Run Free

Not bad...
Quite cool.

That's All I Know (Right Now) is cover (?)

&

what is Mama, You've Been On My Mind ?

its a Dylan song which if they've covered it i'd fucking love to hear

What about some more songs off EJST&NS such as Starfield Road or (particularly) Screaming Skull?

Macbeth is brilliant and it has a catchy riff and catchy keyboard bit... And being an instrumental it could break-up some of the repetitive parts of the compilation (when there are a few Dirty/Rathed Ripped songs in a row).

I think Washing Machine and Sympathy For The Strawberry are the most suitable long songs.
