Why all the Dirty bashing?
 

Why do people on this forum seem to dislike Dirty?

i think its a great album and one of my favourites

have you been lurking?

Yeah, something was wrong with my comp and i couldnt register so i just hung out as a lurker

I like it muchly. Definately not one of my favourites, but I wouldn't insult it, aside from "why are you so mean-o." *shudder....*

for how long?

I like it

i like Theresa's sound world, that song is amazing, It's my favourite sonic youth song from the whole of the 90's.

It's not terrible but it's nothing I listen to that often. Rather Ripped and Nurse are FAR FAR worse.

^ true, ha ha ha ha ha ha. Murray Street was far superior.

C'mon. I call bullshit on that. Both grossly underrated. Nurse especially.

It's alright. Sugar Kane is sweet with all them' double meanings n' shit. The album brings back good memories of high school.

listening to it now, its actually alot better than i remember, EJSTNS is better though. (in my opinion)

"Roshumba, Judith, Paulina, Kathy,
Vendella, Naomi, Ashley, Angie, Stacey
We're swimming!"

I'm glad someone agrees with me :). i'm not called screamingskull for nothing.

Dirty is incredible.... JC, Wish Fufillment, Theresa's Sound World and Chapel Hill are 4 of my favourite SY tracks of the 90's... I used to VASTLY prefer Dirty to Jet Set, but lately I've been really warming up to Jet Set, it's realllly great.

I like the first half of dirty but after sugar kane everything is rubbish for me...

familiarity breeds contempt but it rocks like an sy album rocks. chapel hill, wish fulfilment are up there with classic sy stompsongs

JC is one of my favourite Kim tracks (most emotionally stirring SY song, in my opinion). She has so many great ones, thinking about it.

Best album it is what got me into Sonic Youth.

my favorite album, perhaps; along with confusion is sex and goodbye 20th century.

It's the one that I started with and that got me into SY, although I rarely return to it nowadays... I guess I have the same thing as Paulybee.

But when I do listen to it once every year then I realise that there are some amazing songs on it. Swimsuit Issue, Theresa Soundworld, Shoot, Wish Fulfillment, Sugar Kane, On the Strip, Chapel Hill, JC, Purr, Genetic (oops, that's not on it... thanks Thurston :rolleyes:)... great songs, each of them.
