True. http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=3716 ^ If that little game lasted and more board members contributed, that could have been a pretty accurate analysis of some of the tunes.

In detail:
-Quest for the Cup (Man, this song has such a weird atmosphere, it really appeals to me though. I love the dissonance in this song too) -Cinderella's Big Score (The break is wonderful. Really pumps me up!) -Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit (I used to have "Dirty" ripped on my Xbox, so I listened to it constantly. This song is one of the few on the album that stuck in my head) -Shaking Hell (Eerie lyrics. I'll shake off your flesh! Fuck!) -Beauty Lies in the Eye (So soothing and energetic at the same time. A true hidden gem on "Sister".) Some songs that just didn't make the list: Dripping Dream, The Burning Spear and Hey Joni. Oh, and Mildred Pierce. Kudos to anyone who mentioned it.

I'm going to do this for real. Not "5 songs that I love that not everybody does as much" but 5 that I'd bet a lot of people that post here don't even know of. One exception to that off of Bad Moon Rising, but still obscure in the total canon.

I think New Hampshire is one of their "forgotten" gems; The guitar parts are beautiful and the melody is one of Thurston's best (I'd say Hits of Sunshine is in the same boat). Unfortunately (This is something that upsets me about Sonic Youth), a good chunk of their songs are forgotten about by the next record. I mean, Washing Machine for example has had how many songs be played live post the original tour for the album? Wasn't NYC Ghosts and Flowers (The song) voted the best SY song back in the day (Last played live late 2001)? Every record they do have great songs; Most of them though are left behind when it comes time for their next record. I realize this is fairly standard practice, but unfortunately I doubt they are one day going to all of a sudden start throwing more surprises in the sets.
Of course, there are exceptions to that. Songs from DDN, Sister, Evol, etc (Mainly their 80s run and some of their "hits") are consistently in the set lists. ~Jeremy~
