As much as I love Sonic Youth, I don't think I would call them the greatest band of all time.
I'm not sure who could take that title.

I don't like the idea of a "greatest band in the world". There's so many bands that are just uncomparable on so many levels. I do think that SY will be one of my all-time favorite bands forever, however along with many others

Androol · 12.25.2006, 06:26 PM

alright so theres obviously all this love for Unwound so who else loves Worst Case Scenario

sun city girl · 12.25.2006, 06:47 PM

When I saw them play live this past year they closed out the main set with that song. One of my best concert moments ever.

I saw them in december a year ago from yesterday and they closed with blue line swinger and it was moving.

I voted no just because I don't think there is a BEST band ever... I love tons of bands that all are so different from each other, you can't really compare and say which is better...

Edit:Godspeed You! Black Emperor is up there though...

And that's why I'm not the biggest fan of "top 10 albums of the year". I'd have to listen to many more albums to even generate just "top 10 (genre) albums of the year" and plus I can't compare rap to ambient. I usually just list a few that I enjoy.

Niiicee, I love them, and my teacher is friends with all the members! I can't decide whether I like Godspeed, Silver Mt.Zion, or Triple Burner more, they're all excellent

sonic youth is my al time favorite band.
The "greatest" band ever is definitely a subjective opinion, and for that I vote SONIC YOUTH

they are tied with the beatles in my opinion though.
