Lee Is Free...
 

When I first became sonic, I couldn't tell the difference between Thurston and Lee's voice for some reason. Now the difference is fucking day and night. Wish Fulfillment.............Mote................true beauty. I know there are threads started on who likes Kim songs or Thurston songs better..........but who likes the lee songs the best? He only has a handful in the SY library compared to Kim and Thurston, but who likes his songs the best?

Semi off topic: Does anyone have a list of Lee's songs?

Thank you. :)

i was the same way at first. i remember looking on in the booklet to DDN and thinking 'there's two guy singers?"

Yeah, me too. I couldn't really tell but then it became as clear as day.

same here. i was the same way with john lennon and paul mccatney from the beatles

I'm from Liverpool and I still can't tell the difference.

I can't tell the difference between Paul and Lennon. I've never had trouble with Thurston and Lee, but I was talking to my friend about them yesterday (he's a relatively new fan) and he stopped me at some point and said, "Wait, there's two male singers?"

Lee's songs are ALWAYS the best on each SY record.

thanks a lot for the list.

Does anyone own Lee's East Jesus album. Im gonna buy it soon for sure but just want to know what it's like.

lee's spoken stories/poetry on top of crazy guitar sounds

That's exactly what I want. Thanks.

I think he is the best singer.

He is definitely the best singer, I think. And no, I couldn't tell Thurston and Lee apart at first, but now I can easily. Anyone know why Lee doesn't get as many songs as Thurston or Kim? Is it a lack of writing output?

By the way, anyone else think the fact that Nic Fit and Creme Brulee are on Dirty, yet Genetic is not, is totally fucked up? I know I do.

I read in Confusion is Next that Thurston said SY was originally a place for him and Kim to write songs, so Lee always has the last slots. I think he threatened to quit over Genetic not being on there, as well as the production of Dirty.

Alex's Trip

you forgot "Paper Cup Exit" :D

Ah, that's probably because Alex copied + pasted that list from the Mustang site, which the Song Section hasn't been updated since the Murray Street era.

And it sure does suck Lee doesn't get more songs (another reason I love Daydream Nation). At least he didn't leave the band though!

Shit. I added in Rats, but I guess I forgot Nurse wasn't on there.
