I just got the strangest piece of spam email. You know how lately they've been using subject lines that have nothing to do with Viagra or Dick Lengtheners so you'll open it expecting a note from a friend? Well, I just got one with the subject line, "If you want your name spelt wrong, die." Now what kind of impetus does that give me to open the email!? And what is it even supposed to mean?

Anyway...

I don't really... I love all those albums and they evoke a great atmosphere, but NYC Ghosts and Flowers offers something different like the rest of SY's stuff.

I find it more shocking when someone is shocked by another person's choices when it comes to choose a bunch of records that resonate with them. Or, say, the unhealthy fascination that this forum has with the 90s, particularly the first part of that decade. And They Might Be Giants. Still, to each their own.

is it bad that i find it nearly impossible to make a definitive top ten list? esp. only using one album per artist? fuuuuck.

Rob, if by commenting you mean discussing, and perhaps find out that you perceive a certain record differently from another person, rather than adopting a music snob attitude, I think you should be able to work out the answer yourself.

some fucking masterpieces of contemporary skronk rock, and it just strikes me as weird that NYCG&F would be more of a fave to any sonic youth fanatic than those previously mentioned.


I also put NYCG&F higher than all those you listed. Daydream is one of my least favorites. It probably has a lot to do with when you were introduced to their music, and through which records. The first cut is the deepest etc etc.

AGAINST THE GRAIN! THAT'S WHERE I'LL STAY! SWIMMING UPSTREAM -- I MAINTAIN AGAINST THE GRAIN!

Vs, Plastic Surgery Disasters, Red Medicine, Action Park, Surfer Rosa, Out of Step... damn dude, this is taking me back to high school.

Have seen so many great lists on this thread, albums I've loved but haven't listened to in years. Great work everyone. I hope this thread can inspire people to finally getting around to checking out some of these albums. For example, I'm downloading that Prurient album mentioned earlier in the thread now.

I love that dead c album, it took me forever to get into it, but once it hit -- it hit hard. I'd rate all those gate albums up there as some of my absolute favs.

Who/what is Windy and Carl? I always hear them (?) mentioned but I have no idea what it is.

Yeah! I had forgotten just how much I love Bad Religion, then I sort of randomly put that album on the other day and it damn near made me cry. That's like my favorite punk rock, just-be-yourself anthem. It's like this total statement of purpose that so appealed to me when I first got into that band years ago.
