Not at all. But it is weird how he is often quick to abandon his indie cred to mount a vigorous defense of Bush.

It's far and away Bush's best work. The production is good.

My touchstone Albini record was 24 Hour Revenge Therapy by Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker is Kiss the Bottle btw

Cold contagious is good too, Reid, but I'm sticking with Greedy Fly

Or is it Midlife Crisis? Caffeine?

It has to be from Angel Dust or King for a Day IMO.

Be Aggressive

The cheerleader chorus put it out of contention for me initially, but you might be onto something.

My buddy and I have an ongoing joke about this song for the last 17-18 years. And it’s exactly this.

Is someone getting the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best of you?

Back on the SY topic in this thread.

I'm willing to leave Schizophrenia entirely and take KD's "The Diamond Sea" suggestion even further and say the definitive Sonic Youth song is indeed...Washing Machine.

I've been listening to WM (the album) quite a bit lately, and I think this track fits both me and KD's criteria nicely, thus making it a truly definitive song. What it has that The Diamond Sea doesn't is that fast and punky energy that made up so much of SY's career. I think that's what I was honing in on most when trying to figure out exactly what The Diamond Sea was missing. Everything after Kim's spoken word part taps into that drone-y no wave ambient thing that The Diamond Sea's outro does so well, but it's just...more layered. If you listen close enough, you can hear Steve Shelley not missing a beat underneath that high feedback mix. It's one of my favorite moments in a SY song and any fan wondering about this band's sound needs to hear it.

What a great song.

well i'm convinced

The Mats is Alex Chilton
