Anyone a fan here?
As a beginning guitarist, I am taught to learn chords, and tune the guitar. Whats so great about Sonic youth is they could care less about tuning thier guitar, and if they do tune it, its so out of whack.
I love the way their guitars sound.
Its crazy to think Kim Gordan is in her 50's and still rocking

Mind you the guitars are tuned. They just tune them way different then is considered normal.

I have the deluxe version of Dirty. If you don't have that one, you should get it, even if you have dirty the non-luxe. Really cool extra material.
You probable have Sister, Evol and wasing machine. A thousand leaves is nice.

the first one looks good
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
somewhat, i love some of their stuff and don't care that much for some others

Actually I have (In order of love)
Washing Machine
Dirty
SYR 1
Goo
Experimental Jet Set, Thrash, And No Star
Bear in mind I REALLY like the first 4, and the last one I only kind of enjoy (but its high points are really high). I need to Get Daydream Nation, Sister and EVOL for sure, probably before I end up going for hte newer stuff. Also, I will grab any SYRs I see used, because I really like their improvisational stuff. I don't know if I could spring for the deluxe of Goo OR Dirty, but maybe I will in the future. I have the deluxe of Crooked Rain Crooked Rain though, and it is a fantastic package.
Dear person who has never listened to Sonic Youth before : Get on it
I suggest:
"The Diamond Sea" - pretty much one of my favourite songs ever
"Youth Against Facism" - A lot more digestible
"Dirty Boots" - Kind of a straight forward rocker
"Teen Age Riot" - pretty much speaks for itself
as for tunings : http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/tab/
me fave album has to be a tie between Dirty and Experimental Jet Set, Thrash & No Star
and damn i can't believe Kim is 53 too..amazing.
for those who havent got it..me highly recommend the new reissue of their debut album.
"I Dreamed I Dream" is just another amazing track

That depends one what other stuff you like. I take it you aren't very big on Whitney Houston, If you were you'd probable not like sonic youth. If you like In utro from Niravana (duh) better than you like Nevermind, you might want to check Sonic youth out. Start of with Washing machine I think that is the easiest to get into.
Skip tracer, Diamond sea, No queen blues, Little troubled girl are really good songs.

haven't heard anything from sonic youth yet. although, i think they did open for a pj concert i was at a few years back. i'm looking forward to hearing some of their stuff.
i read in a magazine the other day that Kim Gordon and one of the guys in the band have been married for about 20 yrs! i think that's awesome. that's like the ideal marriage there, don't you think?--to be in a kick-ass band and have your better half w/ you all the time. you wouldn't have to worry about the long-distance bs getting in the way. i have mass respect for them b/c of this. it would be nice to see more bands like that.
cool
iam glad is wasn't the strokes!
I base this choice soley on the fact that i think Sunday is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard:)

Stones and Disconnection Notice and all the songs you listed yeah I'm really enjoying SY at the moment never really got in to them until recently, but since there is hardly much outstanding around at the moment I'm kind of glad about that.
Me too!
I repsect their music, but don't think I can sit thru a 20 minute song!
Does this sound odd to anyone else...? Im not even sure what the Gilmore Girls are, I imagine it is a TV series along the same lines as 7th Heaven or something like that. Anyways, I'll be watching May 7th...
dont watch it..but i know it's got a few storylines based on music etc hence guys like Sebastian Bach acting in the show regularly.
ah well worth watching to hear a new track

sonic youth- i really feel like hearing sonic nurse right now.
~it is shining it is shining~
One of my favorite albums from them is Sister. It was just a precusor of what was going to happen on Daydream Nation.
I can't wait to see them open up for PJ on the 2nd leg...yeah!! And Kim Gordon, that woman can STILL rock!! Not bad for a woman in her 50s, still rockin' out as if she was in her 20s.:cool: Kim Gordon is my heroine!!
