Yo La Tengo's Best Songs?

dazedcola · 05.17.2007, 12:41 PM

Pass The Hatchet has to be one of their best songs ever. I was listening to it while toking a bowl and was just taken back by the sheer power of what sounds like a demented guitar. I love this messy noisy jam that seemingly channels the velvets and sonic youth.

Can I Get some love for this song ? can anything really top this by them ?

SYRFox · 05.17.2007, 12:42 PM

The Story Of Yo La Tango is the best imo

pbradley · 05.17.2007, 12:58 PM

my favorite YLT songs:
Cherry Chapstick
Sugarcube
Today Is The Day (the EP version)
Paul Is Dead
Clunk

Blue Line Swinger and I Heard You Looking are two of their most epic songs ever. As well as Deeper Into Movies.

To my honest I don't know much about YLT but Mushroom cloud of hiss is great.

pbradley · 05.17.2007, 02:19 PM

Actually all of Electr-O-Pura is great.

We're an American Band deserves a mention on this thread as well. Also: Flying Lesson.

Everyneurotic · 05.17.2007, 06:41 PM

yes, we're an american band (this one is probably my favorite), definitely...

...also the last song on electr-o-pura.

I love "Tom Courtenay". Thats a great song. It reminds me a lot of the Jesus and Mary Chain.But "Pass The Hatchet..." is also a good 'un.

drrrtyboots · 05.18.2007, 08:19 PM

Tom Courtenay is excellent indeed, made me so happy live.

samuel · 05.19.2007, 08:24 PM

I'd say The Story of Yo La Tango too.
Also,
Everyday
How to Make a Baby Elephant Float
Detouring America with Horns
The Whole of the Law

...my favorites.

Pax Americana · 05.19.2007, 10:37 PM

Deeper Into Movies. I'm listening to it now, in fact.

k-krack · 05.19.2007, 10:58 PM

I remember Deeper Into Movies being great, but I haven't heard it in years... the only YLT song I've heard in like, two to three years is Season Of the Shark... and it is one of the most heart-wrenching songs I know... my favourite (by default, I guess...)

Dead-Air · 05.19.2007, 11:18 PM

For me:

Tiny Birds
Tom Courtenay
Decora
Our Way to Fall
You Can Have It All
