bad moon rising is so slept on! one of my all time favs, i love the cold and nostalgic atmosphere it gives me its so haunting

There's no skip over tracks on Bad Moon Rising (CD 12 track version). Best fall album.

I completely agree with what you said about "Disappearer". I've had that song on replay since I first discovered it. It is one of THE songs ever and I think that the video is incredible too

Sonic Nurse is an amazing record. I love your list and enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you

Sonic Nurse, absolutely. I'm with you 100%

confusion is absolute S tier.

Correct: Sonic Nurse is one of the strongest of all their works. Wrong: NYC Ghosts + Flowers is an absolute masterpiece, and for those of us who loved this band since SST days it's the return to form which we had been hoping for since Goo.

Man i remember when Rather Ripped came out on my 16th birthday! It has been my favorite Sy album ever since

this band my all time favourite, i love most their discog but i love the progression/evolution through sonic nurse and murray street

My favorite Sonic Youth album is the one I'm listening to at the moment. It changes all the time. My love for this band and what they meant and mean to me can't be expressed in mere words. They taught and exposed me to so much over the years that I consider them teachers. The intense, strange and beautiful worlds and galaxies they created with their music and art is incredible and breathtaking. Why are ppl so negative about the absolutely brilliant NYC Ghosts and Flowers?? That record is a whole mood and so intoxicating and mysterious and strange. Plus the William S Burroughs painting is the perfect cover for that amazing album.j

STONES !

Amazing video! I completely agree on Disappearer!

I’m with you ~ Sonic Nurse is their later day masterpiece. Love that album so much.

Evol, their first masterpiece imo. From then on only banging greatness.. I too had a hard time not getting into Confusion Is Sex/Kill Your Idols and Bad Moon Rising..will keep trying them. Also their latter 6 albums. Goo sucha brilliant album. Indeed very listenable and polished yet unique SY flavours..

Great video, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that they liked Eternal more than Confusion and Bad Moon. Especially a super fan. Kinda cool actually. Love this

Great job!

Sister is their best work.

NYC ghosts & flowers in top 7 for me :D

Their first ST release will always be 🔥🔥

Surprised chapel Hill didn't get more love. Disappearer is completely deserved that song is amazing.

such a good catalog its insane

good analysis

just came across your channel, you got my sub! I love SY, one of my all time faves so here’s my nerd out Confusion: C BMR: C EVOL: A Sister: S DN: S Good: A Dirty: B Experimental: C WM: S 1000: B NYC: D MS: C SN: B RR: C Eternal: D btw, I did not spell out ass on purpose 😂

I think murray street is super underrated

Glad Murray street and sonic nurse are in the top tier list because they are my favourite!!!!

Album tracks are literally given to them to learn, rehearse and perform..

Yep! I have a similar ranking. Great video, well done my friend! 1. Daydream Nation 2. Sister 3. Goo 4. Dirty 5. Evol 6. Sonic Nurse 7. A Thousand Leaves 8. Murray Street 9. Washing Street 10. Rather Ripped 11. Confusion is Sex 12. The Eternal 13. Bad Moon Rising 14. Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star 15. NYC Ghosts and Flowers

What's your take on the Coachmen?

I am absolute massive fan of Sonic Youth, their in my top 10 favorite artists of all time. I pretty much love most of their material, nothing else sounds like them. Anyway, pretty good video. My Ranking of Sonic Youth Albums 15. Confusing Is Sex (8/10) 14. Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star (8/10) 13. The Eternal (8/10) 12. Sonic Nurse (9/10) 11. Rather Ripped (9/10) 10. A Thousand Leaves (9/10) 9. EVOL (9/10) 8. Washing Machine (9/10) 7. Murray Street (10/10) 6. Bad Moon Rising (10/10) 5. Goo (10/10) 4. Sister (10/10) 3. Dirty (10/10) 2. Daydream Nation (10/10) 1. NYC Ghosts & Flowers (10/10) Yes I know, I'm weird for that at number one

Are you including Brother James and Kill your idols on Confusion?

sister, ddn, and sonic nurse are my 3 favorites.

There was this debate on which SY album is the best, and this guy said "the best one is the first you've heard" and this is so fokin' true.

For me they should be ranked in phases: A.Debut (trying to get a sound) : Confusion is sex and the other more rare before (Sonic Youth) B.Constructionnist phase (being more and more structured from album to album) : Bad Moon, Evol, Sister, Daydream C.Peak phase ( doing what they do best ) : Goo, Dirty, Experimental D.Deconstructionnist phase (being purposely less and less structured from album to album): Washing, Thousands, Ghost (Ghost having strangely a vibe similar to Bad Moon... the circle has closed) E.Tail of the Hurricane : In the last four albums, they start to repeat themselves and get less and less creativity... still with some highlight of what they do best. I would rank C first and B/C second and only bother with A/E when i'm bored and need something else

Leaves and Bad Moon are on the same level? Interesting

WHERE IS THE WHITEY ALBUM

I don't know why but I just don't get on with Daydream Nation. That is not trying to be cool or contrary, and I have revisited it a number of times to 'get it', but it has never grabbed me in the same way as most of their other albums. Evol, Sister and NYC Ghosts and Flowers are my top 3.

Sister, Day Dream Nation, Evol, Bad Moon Rising…………..The Eternal. Songs; Kissability, Catholic Block and Death Valley 69.

Sonic Nurse is my favorite of all their albums. A rocking record that has strong songs from start to finish. Fantastic!

S: Evol, Daydream Nation, Goo, Murray Street A: Sister, Whasing Machine, Dirty B: Sonic Nurse, A Thousand Leaves C: Rather Ripped, NYC Ghost and Flowers, Bad Mon Rising D: Confusion is Sex. Jet Set Superstars, The Eternal

"Experimental Jet Set Trash..." was the album for me! I will take it with me along with "The Dark side of the moon" by Pink Floyd when I go to heaven...

wait...what the hell are you trying to pull here?? eye almost fell for it..

why dont you like Mary Christ? its one of my favourites on goo

With a band like Sonic Youth is hard to say what is their best albums because each album is just a moment in time for them. But here are my top 4 everything else is just in the mix for me. Experimental Jetset Trash and No star Washing Machine New York City Ghost and Flowers A thousand Leaves

Sonic nurse is literally my favorite album of all time. All the songs sound so beautiful and stones is my favorite song ever. So yes, there is more people that hold that album on high.

Bad Moon Rising it the Raw essence of SY...sad you put C :(

I love her all the time? Not awesome?

There very poor audio fidelity of Confusion ruins it for me. It is distracting, and stands out from all other Sonic Youth releases with such poor sound quality. Rather Ripped is their best since Dirty for me. Pink Steam is one of my top favorite songs of all.

Everything up to dirty is an S to me

Murray Street is unlistenable. Doesn't even make D tier and can take Sonic Nurse with it. But, that's like just my opinion man.

There are no skip over tracks on BMR, just weak and deaf man

1. Daydream Nation 2. Dirty 3. Sonic Nurse 4. Sister 5. Murray Street 6. Goo 7. Rather Ripped 8. Thousand Leaves 9. EVOL 10. Washing Machine 11. Jet Set 12. Bad Moon Rising 13. The Eternal 14. Confusion is Sex 15. NYC Ghosts & Flowers

NYC Ghosts & Flowers - d, Dirty - s))))) What's your problem man?))))🤭

sonic nurse might be my all time favourite but where whitey album
