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

Honestly I'd have dug NYCGF way more if there'd been little tono singing

The album not the song
I voted for it! Love it, partly from live performances I saw of it I guess, but I always liked that record fine.

OTM. Was pretty grand live.

I never noticed that, and I love that song. It was my number 5.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:10 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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

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 (eleven years ago) link
These tunelets MAKE the album imo

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

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

I voted for androgynous mind, it's catchy

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

I don't know if I voted for "Flower"! I hope i did
― Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
"flower", otoh, deserves a lot more fuck love. like, for instance, i should have voted for it.
― controversial vegan pregnancy (contenderizer), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
xp That's why I wanted to do a top 100 - too many songs that would otherwise get overlooked.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
"I'm Insane" way too fucking low. My number one SY tune since I first heard it in 1990.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, nothing yet has seemed "too low" to me for the most part other than maybe "(She's In A) Bad Mood" and "Flower".
― grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry EZ
― grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
"Androgynous Mind" is not a particular favorite but it's good to see some Jet Set love. For a while Eddie Vedder used to throw some lyrics from it into improv tags in Pearl Jam shows!

very surprised that 100% does not do any better. there is so much happening in those 150 seconds, the song takes so many turns. i like my sonic youth when they come to the point and do not jam...
― it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 13 May 2013 20:09 (eleven years ago) link
well Flower should be about 50 places higher, but I did my part and voted it up pretty high. I'm Insane would be in my top 40.

Yeah, "Flower" was a late cut, think I regret it a little. Seems like a single vote woulda helped out quite a bit.
― grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
i forgot about "flower" until nearly the end (didn't have a copy handy for some dumb reason). thought abt making last minute space for it on my ballot, but figured it'd do fine w/out my help.

Hey Gavin, thanks for the playlist! I've been jamming the bottom 30 all day, it's a great listen so far.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 13 May 2013 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't even forget about it, just made some hasty decisions right at the end.
Cannot be stressed enough that 182 DIFFERENT songs were voted for, so a lot of good stuff is going to have pretty low point totals. Pretty cool that the band can have so many appreciated songs. Will also be interesting to see when the point totals start to rise significantly.

― grandavis, Monday, 13 May 2013 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
If we'd done a top 50 countdown, i'd be sitting here the whole time waiting for "Flower" and "100%" to show up

"Schizophrenia" #1, "Teenage Riot" #2?
