Favourite Sonic Youth Band Member - Page 2

But aren't Kim & Lee just as great as Steve, whereas Thurston towers above them (literally).

Steve is probably the one with the most technical talent (& yet still wonderfully creative) though.

Thurston!

Toilet & Bowels · 07.19.2006, 07:47 PM

thurston moore is the worst member, he ruins the band these days, they should kick him out.
funny that more people have voted for jim sclavunos and richard edson that for steve shelley

atari 2600 · 07.19.2006, 08:09 PM

I do get where you are comin' from (well, sort of) since Rather Ripped is more a Thurston album than perhaps all the others, but you speak blasphemy!

Seriously, you can play the hipper-than-thou pose to only a certain extent & you just crossed the line, Mr. Commode & Turd Tunnel.

Get a clue, will you?
You're about as cool as Thurston's toenail clippings!

I'm sure certain super fans on this board would pay loads of money for those clippings.

T&B is right. Thurston's voice is annoying and the majority of the songs he does I absolutely cannot stand. Especially his songs as of late. Lee should do all of the songs on every record. It is really too bad Jim left the band.

This poll is about their musical abilities, right? Cuz if so, I'll vote for for my main man Lee. Best musician in SY ever. Although all the members are very talented and add their own wonderful little things to the group. As much as I love Lee's music, it just wouldn't be the same without Thurston, Kim and Steve.

thursty whore

sonicl · 07.20.2006, 02:48 AM

I pick Ann DeMarinis.

But seeing as she's not there, I pick Lee.

toxic johnny · 07.20.2006, 02:55 AM

For me Kim is by far the most interesting member (although I love them all)... her musical and conceptual intellect is beyond reproach in the Toxic household...

nicfit · 07.20.2006, 03:14 AM

Lee gets my vote.i wish i could cheat and vote like 3000 times for him.can i?

acousticrock87 · 07.20.2006, 03:53 AM

Lee. He seems like someone I, or anyone for that matter, would get along with real well.

krastian · 07.20.2006, 04:04 AM

Yo yo yo, my name is Thurston Whore and I want you to get down and pray for rock bay-bee.

fishmonkey · 07.20.2006, 05:02 AM

my main man... big T

porkmarras · 07.20.2006, 05:15 AM

Lee Ranaldo and no doubt about that.I don't have problems with Thurston Moore but Lee does write the best songs.

A Thousand Threads · 07.20.2006, 05:21 AM

Tokolosh · 07.20.2006, 05:30 AM

They are all amazing characters, but Kim's the most mysterious.

RdTv · 07.20.2006, 06:41 AM

When it comes to Richard Edson in acting I like him best in ''Do The Right Thing''. Although his scene in ''Ferris Bueller'' was good.

When it comes to my favorite SY band member it would be Thurston, followed extremely close by Steve and then Lee. I pick Thurston for the simple fact that he seems like a hilarious guy to just hang out with, and not to mention a great musical talent in the flesh. Oh and this outake from the year punk broke, especially around the 1:30 mark.hahahahahaa
