i know some people are going to be pissed off about this..
the idea is to list the songs that would make the most accessible sonic youth compilation.. the goal is to achieve moderate mainstream success..
what would make your personal best of sonic youth?

i would probably include...........
dirty boots
teenage riot
schizophrenia
kotton krown
death valley '69
plastic sun
bull in the heather
sugar kane
washing machine
tom violence
kool thing
radical adults lick godhead style
mariah carey
brave men run


actually, it might be a better idea to consider a double album..
comments?

I am actually making my friend an SY comp, because he ignorantly said that there are only 5 good sonic youth songs, and everything else they do is noise.

i promised my workmate some sonic youth, so i think compilation is a good idea, but it's not going to be easy to choose. she never heard sy, so i must choose something "popy" i'd say, but still don't know what, yet.

sugar kane and bull in the heather are good starters..

but does anyone think SY should really do a compilation?
aiming at the mainstream?

best off... thing would kind of suck. than what i was reading in interview from wire, that there are plans to release SY's film music (two or three CD's worth of stuff), than also there's desire to release on SYR "a real serious concert series, of different live gigs from differen points in their career", but Lee saying that process of archiving the recordings, then listening to them all and selecting the best ones would constitute a "dauting task". that would be really good, if this would happened.

I'm sure Lydia Lunch would blacken ur eye if she heard you thought her vocals were "accessible" and "audience friendly".

Maybe they can ask for help... I'm sure a lot of ppl here would be glad to lend them a hand (or an ear).
