So Sonic Youth are set to release their 5 millionth album this month and are closing in on 30 years of recorded existence. With these things in mind here's my list of the Top 30 Sonic Youth songs ever. Think of this as a double cd best of that i'd make for someone who didn't own a single SY record.

ReplyDeleteHow do you not have "'Cross the Breeze," "Tunic (Song for Karen)," or "Theresa's Sound World"?
On the real though, to each his own. At least you have 5 songs from EVOL; that album doesn't get enough credit.
ah shit...i totally forgot "Tunic"...that one def deserves a spot on this list.
