I voted for Dude Ranch Nurse and Reena. Kim seems to get all the best songs on the recent albums.

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:22 (thirteen years ago)

Wow, four songs off of Sonic Nurse already placed, with at least a couple of more to show I am sure.

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:33 (thirteen years ago)

really nice range of tracks so far

controversial vegan pregnancy (contenderizer), Monday, 13 May 2013 17:35 (thirteen years ago)

Mark my words - "Rain on Tin" in the top 25

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 17:45 (thirteen years ago)

lol listening to Stones right now, one of three Sonic Nurse tracks I wish I wouldve voted for

Drugs A. Money, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:45 (thirteen years ago)

I'm already starting to worry that The Eternal got the shaft :(

seanpennderizer (some dude), Monday, 13 May 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)

Nah

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)

One of you is right :)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:51 (thirteen years ago)

Lol

seanpennderizer (some dude), Monday, 13 May 2013 17:52 (thirteen years ago)

Feel like Rather Ripped and The Eternal were getting a fair amount of love in nominations thread, but I guess a whole lot of stuff was getting love. Not that surprising to see a lot of the later stuff show up at this point, wonder how much will crack the top 25 though.

87. (TIE) Genetic
'100%' B-side, 1992
(72 points, 6 votes)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:57 (thirteen years ago)

TOO LOW!!!

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 17:57 (thirteen years ago)

Thought "Genetic" was going to be a sleeper hit ....

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:09 (thirteen years ago)

Sorry Lee, did not vote for it (above the other songs of yours I voted for).

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:10 (thirteen years ago)

When they moved more towards a traditional rhythm/lead setup in their later days, I sometimes hoped they'd go whole hog and actually play more 'real' guitar solos. I think "Stones" could work interestingly with a Verlaine/Lloyd-style solo instead of that repeated melodic phrase.

85. I'm Insane
Bad Moon Rising, 1985
(74 points, 4 votes, 1 #1)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:30 (thirteen years ago)

Kudos to whoever #1ed this song.

Van Horn Street, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:31 (thirteen years ago)

Listening to "Stones", I'm rethinking that, actually.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:33 (thirteen years ago)

I didn't vote for "I'm Insane" but it's awesome, yeah.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:33 (thirteen years ago)

Hah cool!

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:47 (thirteen years ago)

Kudos indeed!

Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

84. NYC Ghosts & Flowers
NYC Ghosts & Flowers, 2000
(79 points, 6 votes)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:54 (thirteen years ago)

Lol

A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:57 (thirteen years ago)

They kinda fucked up when recording that, lotta instruments falling out of sync in a bad way. Cool epic Lee jam though.

seanpennderizer (some dude), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:58 (thirteen years ago)

Honestly I'd have dug NYCGF way more if there'd been little to
no singing

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:04 (thirteen years ago)

The album not the song

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:04 (thirteen years ago)

I voted for it! Love it, partly from live performances I saw of it I guess, but I always liked that record fine.

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:06 (thirteen years ago)

They kinda fucked up when recording that, lotta instruments falling out of sync in a bad way.

OTM. Was pretty grand live.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:08 (thirteen years ago)

I never noticed that, and I love that song. It was my number 5.

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:10 (thirteen years ago)

I mean, with something like this, it can be hard to tell if it's intentional so it may be best to give the benefit of the doubt.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:13 (thirteen years ago)

I had it pretty high, mid-ballot somewhere. Partly love it cause of just how miserable the reception of this record was as well. A defiant fan boy's enthusiasm or something like that.

83. Androgynous Mind
Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, 1994
(80 points, 4 votes)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:16 (thirteen years ago)

Really? This?

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:18 (thirteen years ago)

On my ballot!

A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:19 (thirteen years ago)

That's actually one of the tracks I kind of enjoy from that album.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:20 (thirteen years ago)

If one of the voters (not Alfred) hadn't put it at 2(!!), it would have barely made the top 100.

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:21 (thirteen years ago)

These tunelets MAKE the album imo

A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:22 (thirteen years ago)

xpost to self: not that it would make my top 75

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:22 (thirteen years ago)

Ha, actually, who knows what would happen if I actually sat down and listed 75 Sonic Youth songs?

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:23 (thirteen years ago)

I didn't vote for this, but I approve this placement. It's a great song

silverfish, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:24 (thirteen years ago)

I voted for androgynous mind, it's catchy

herr doktor (askance johnson), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:32 (thirteen years ago)

"Waist" is another one of these tossed-off punky songs that I can enjoy.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:34 (thirteen years ago)

82. (TIE) Flower
Bad Moon Rising, 1985
(81 points, 6 votes)

ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

That's not on the original album, right?

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

Nope

grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:37 (thirteen years ago)

I don't know if I voted for "Flower"! I hope i did

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:38 (thirteen years ago)

everything's falling in very sensibly. "genetic", "i'm insane", "androgynous mind" and "nyc ghosts & flowers" = good tracks that tend to get overlooked in favor of the classics, but not top 50 material imo.

controversial vegan pregnancy (contenderizer), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:38 (thirteen years ago)

"flower", otoh, deserves a lot more fuck love. like, for instance, i should have voted for it.
