First sonic song

syntax-free · 06.10.2007, 04:07 PM

Okay so i would like to know what was the very first sonic youth song you heard and what did you first think of them as opposed to now? Has anything changed? For example, mine was dirty boots, or schizophrenia. I thought dirty boots was okay but i was like well, this band isn't that heavy or crazy, then i heard schizophrenia and i thought their music was so 'trance-like', like a drug or something. I definitely like them more now than i did, as i searched through their many different styles.

TYPB for me, dirty boots I think.
I wasn't really impressed at first. It took a while to grow on me.

First song I heard was Sugar Kane when I saw the video on MTV in the early 90s.
First thought was that it was a great song and that the guy who was singing it was just so incredibly cool... I still think it's a great song nowadays, although I tend to prefer Lee over Thurston now.

100%. The 'all you men are slime' line hooked me.

I saw a picture of the youth in Spin magazine back in 1986 or something, (don't laugh, although they always had lame rock stars on the cover, it had good colums and reveiws) they were looking through the broken windshield of a wrecked car. I picked up the giodano poetry systems LP "A Dimond Hidden In the Mouth of A Corpse" with "Halloween" on it...and just couldent stop listining to it. My girlfriend sent me a tape from Evergreen State collage of the first EP and Confusion Is Sex; y'know, I was in love, and I loved punk rock, noise and my girlfriend...Well that girl is all grown up, a lesbian (some of you would recognize her name) and I am married and happy. I still love punk rock and noise...and I am in love with Sonic Youth.

100% after hearing about them through a Nirvana article. I was amazed by the sounds of the guitars. And still think the same, they are amazing.

Drunken Butterfly
I did not like it that much

Everyneurotic · 06.11.2007, 12:53 AM

kool thing, hated the damn song (now i like it a lot)
then teenage riot, thought it was better than ok but still a mediocre thing.
then schizophrenia, again ok but more interesting.
then sugar kane on later with jools holland and it blew my mind, they had in that song everything i wanted music to be.
