I would've loved to hear Dirty Boots or Washing Machine.

I actually really enjoy What a Waste as it's played live. It's not one of my favorites off of Rather Ripped, but I think they perform it well.

I LOVED Starfield Road in 1995.

Bull in the Heather-->Starfield Road was AN AWESOME combo.

I don't know why they dropped starfield road, but it was a horrid decision.

Brother James at the very end of Screaming Fields Of Sonic Love. utterly amazing vocals by Kim and not to be missed by any fan of their more hardcore style.

The best song ever performed live by Sonic Youth was:

Theresa's Sound World

After seeing them live about a dozen times over the last 15 years, this is the best of the bunch. I was fortunate enough to hear it live twice. Don't know if it will ever see the light of day again, though.

Honorable Mentions:

Expressway
White Kross
Silver Rocket
Rain on Tin
