probably a million threads about this but did a search and couldn't find one.
anyway. if a person who'd never heard SY asked you what they sounded like, and you could only play them one track, which one would you choose? |

Shoot. It's my all time favourite Sonic Youth track which I think totally epitomises the band to a tee.

I replied to a thread like this some months ago and I can't remember what song was it. but now that I've listened to The Eternal, i'm pretty much sure it's Anti-Orgasm.

Cliche, but....The Diamond Sea. It has the poppy parts, the noise, and the songwriting. The only thing it's really missing is the early 'darker' sounds from CIS and BMR

Teenage Riot. Why? They enjoy playing this song and they always (almost) play it. it's not one of my favourite songs, tough.

I think the last time there was a thread like this I said Death Valley '69. I disagree with my past self.

I'm going to go a little off from the original question and give an EP of sorts:
1)Schizophrenia 2)Candle 3)I Love You Golden Blue 4)Mote 5)The Diamond Sea There's a lot of tracks to choose to show, it really depends at which time period we're talking. If I had to narrow it down to JUST one.... At this moment, I'm going to have to say Candle. Now after three seconds I'm also thinking Sunday really shows their selling points as well..... ~Jeremy~

Saying Diamond Sea sorta gives you an EP unto itself... same if you choose Trilogy. Both show many facets, both would work. Both are, obviously, awesomeness.

Jams Run Free: beauty, dissonance, climax, more beauty, without a single extraneous note.
