What's a Sonic Youth song that you think doesn't belong on the album it's on (no bonus tracks, real albums!)? oops i already said HOTWIRE MY HEART... hmm possibly CONTRE LE SEXISME, i see what they were trying to do but making it the opener probably turned people off what was already a challenging (but rewarding) album... 8.

"Within You Without You" is really pretty mediocre and not up to the standards of SY or the original song. 4. What's you favorite cover of a Sonic Youth song by somebody else?
