Like a Hummingbird

Oh, the 9.30 club. What an awesome place to see a show.

Thanks for the dates.

Maybe it's a generation thing but the first Sonic Youth album that I got into was Murray Street. Still my favorite.

I do not find Daydream Nation my favorite.

The Diamond Sea is probably one my favorite all time songs of theirs because I have been lucky to see them do that song twice. It's off Washing Machine.

Any album that has at least 2 cuts with Kim Gordon tend to be some enjoyable to me.

Goo

Washing Machine

Sonic Nurse

A Thousand Leaves.

I also find Dirty a fun album. It is probably their most accessible, and when they had reached some degree of fame on MTV's 120 minutes.

I know they had remastered Goo. I am not sure if all their albums had been remastered.

Someone mentioned Ciccone Youth...another connection a la Sonic Youth is to M.Gira/Jarboe...SWANS. SWANS music is timeless.

Fresh Air-J.G. Ballard

I think its from 1988, but its really good.

I was suprised more people didn't reply to this at the other music website I go to as well. He really did have an influence on themes of electronic and underground sounds in the 80s.

For instance, I listened to "warm leatherette" just outta respect for him that day.
