What song are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
 

Hopefully this will be a successful thread.

I am listening to Total Trash by Sonic Youth.

Red Hot Chili Pepers - Don't Forget Me

Big Black - Passing Complexion

the hum of my computer

that is a fucking good song

'Brother James' by the aforementioned band

Hell yeah man.

Richard by Slowdive.

:2thumbsup - Total trash!

this reminds me of them threads back in the day (NP)

i'm listening to the Peppers album By The Way

in fact, best album ever

chapterhouse - 'mesmerize'

'I Should Have Known Better' - The Beatles

faust - 'krautrock'

legend of zelda theme - john williams and the london philharmonic

Avenues - Whiskeytown

The Cure - Limetime

freally, just a few hours ago I was wondering why this board didn't have this kind of thread. Then I remembered why

Sonic Youth is one of the best bands ever.

Listening to this now.

No one played like that in 1987. No one anyone knew about anyway. But Sonic Youth did.

And now, Multitude of Casualties - The Hold Steady.

lol Sonic Youth is still 20 years ahead of our time.

they are the definition of innovative music!

i dont know if i'd consider Rather Ripped to be 20 years ahead of time.

In saying that, they are my favorite band, of all time

happy mondays - god's cop


the happy mondays are pretty meh so far :/

(for those of you who wanted to know)

lol.. what about ten years?

none of the music that has come out this year or recent years past has been ahead of it's time

I was just about to say that. It really is amazing how ahead of their time they were. I mean yeah, today, I guess they aren't, because time caught up to them. But they really did help usher in that sound. But what's weird is that despite their influence, there is still no band that really sounds exactly like Sonic Youth. People took little things from them but no one has really been able to duplicate the full package.

ooh ooh who knows this one? :

slipping through the wood in the dark of the night
calling to the moon out yonder
O lady moon wont you shine a silver light
and lead me to my Griselda

great song

nope

its simply not that good.

jesus

Well despite what you may think about their latest album, it's what SY did in the 80's and early/mid 90's that defines them as a band and that will never change. That's just greatness.

Rather Ripped is a pretty good album overall. Is it one of their best, maybe not. But I will say Kim has some of her strongest tracks on there.

SY is still an amazing band.

She isn't too embarrassing on that album and they did a good job of shutting her up for most of the album.

what? do you want to explain to me why i'm wrong? Or do you just want to scoff at me?

fucking exactly!

Wilco - Spiders (Kidsmoke), live 09/02/2002

just scoff. lol

i can't say you're wrong.
i've just always considered Sonic Youth to be the prime example of the most innovative band. but maybe they aren't. it's all relative really.

It's ok. They still are. I can't expect them to top their best days, but then again, why would I? They still rock.

Anyway, enough of that argument.

Sicbay - Suffering Submarines

eugh, orange

because im not wrong.

SY are the most innovative band ever, i agree with you there. They are by far my favorite band.
Im not saying i hate Rather Ripped, its just not a good SY album.

what i do hate though is when people just scoff, instead of expressing their own opinion against mine.

Serena-Maneesh - Candelighted

Awesome band.

comets on fire - one foot

don't get so worked up, i agree with you, i was just surprised by your response, it was in no way meant to be offensive -I will readily admit i'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to music... I've just always had this view of Sonic Youth, and was surprised to see that view dismissed. so out came Jesus.

You seem to know a lot about music for your age. Don't underestimate yourself just because of your opinion of one SY album. We all agree more than disagree about the band, so let's just leave it there.

Hot hot heat - you owe me an IOU
