At night time, I'm likely to lean towards Confusion Is Sex. In the day, when I'm reasonable, I'll usually say Daydream Nation. But something's making me say Sister recently.

sister... by a nose.

rank, anyone?

Sister
Evol
Washing Machine
Daydream Nation
Dirty
Experimental Jet Set
Goo
Murray Street
Mille Feuilles
The Whitey Album
Bad Moon Rising
NYC Ghosts & Flowers
Confusion Is Sex (i really couldn't get into it... it's been awhile since i've heard it though)

Goo is my favorite.

Lee Renaldo's songs are almost always the best on their albums.

Experimental, Jet...is the weakest album of theirs that I've listened to.

Just going by albums and regular Sonic Youth material...

Sister
Daydream Nation
Evol
Confusion Is Sex (tie)
Bad Moon Rising (tie)
Dirty
Exp. Jet Set
Washing Machine
Goo
Murray Street
New York City
A Thousand Leaves

Want to know what's kind of disturbing? The last album on there still gets an 8+ from me. And the top 3 get 10s.

Dirty has always been my favorite. Followed closely by Daydream Nation, Sister, and Exp... I don't want to rank the rest, there are too many.

a thousand leaves.

i can't listen to daydream, without switching to a bootleg halfway. I've had the same problem with gish, you get used to the much faster live versions too much. But together with goo it's in second place.

<font color=33FFFF> believe it or not, probably NYC Ghosts And Flowers, it is something I have always been coming back to since its release. Daydream Nation is a close second, and Sister would be third</font>

I'm not sure if I like Sister or Evol more than Daydream Nation, but they're all classic. And Murray Street is quickly becoming classic.

Dirty, Daydream Nation and Murray street are my top 3. My favorite depends on which one I am currently listening to.

I was also going to mention that NYC G+F sucks, but I guess that ground has already been covered. I also don't like Bad Moon Rising very much either.:erm

Actually, I don't think we can stress this fact enough. NYC G+F is awful. Obviously it's not the 0 that PFM gave it, but it's pretty bad. Thank heaven for Jim O'Rourke.

Correct!

Good lord, Graveflower. You shouldn't really take things so personally. And I was kidding... I mean, c'mon--who really love pitchfork? I mean some people use it to find out about stuff, some use it for a hit and miss guide to music. But I don't think there's a self-respecting person out there who lets it guide his complete list of tastes.

Did you happen to notice what was second to last on my list? :)

And I did notice that your list had Dirty lower than goo and murray street. That's not so according to pitchfork. I'm probably gonna be insincere in just about everything you read from me.

man. daydream nation is overrated. it's fucking amazing, but it's overrated. i'll take underdogs EVOL and sister. but man. biking whilst listening to daydream nation is what summer days were meant for.

schizophrenia makes sister better than daydream nation,

a-fucking men.

EVOL is a personal preference. i fucking LOVE shadow of a doubt.

Well, since Washing Machine is the only Sonic Youth album I own, I'd say Washing Machine.

For some reason it's almost always hilarious when people give Sean Casey shit. I don't know why.

Exp., Jet Set, Trash, & No Star

I think it's because they always say things like, "Good lord." He had that effect on people.
