Dinosaur Jr vs Sonic Youth

notoriousjpp · 07-21-2009, 01:36 PM

"Rather Ripped" by Sonic Youth has some of the best songs my ears have ever heard...like 'Pink Steam' and 'Incinerate.'

Yowza.

I've listened to all their albums and I think Without A Sound is definitely up there. Maybe as a whole not their best album, but it certainly has some of their best songs on it.

I'm going with SY, and I think that's largely because I got into them a good few years before I got into Jr.

Both kick ass though.

Sonic Youth has the cool. DJR has a great songwriter.

not much of a contest for me. there are bits and pieces of the Youth i really like, but as a matter of songwriting Dinosaur Jr. wins hands down.

It has 'Feel the Pain' and that's about it...

I have tried both a them a good deal (2-3 albums each). I haven't liked either much at all...

Which albums have you tried?

Daydeam Nation is an absolute masterpiece in my mind, and it means a lot to me, so any fault Sonic Youth made after that I could care less, they win, hands down.

Since when is Sonic Youth punk?

They're close enough for it to be appropriate.
