I was even just defending mmm bop in another thread
I was leading the charge for mmm bop a few days ago. It's a great pop song. You like what you like and I don't really care if you like it either. It swings both ways. I don't care that the Minutemen only sold about 12 copies... their stuff is flippin' brilliant and I love it. I don't care how many people bought Motley Crue's albums... I think they are crap.
On the flip side, I think Adele is fantastic and I've already bagged on Sonic Youth in this thread. Which will cost me 100 Hipster Points.

My God, yes. Here's my problem with Teenage riot -- I don't believe them. I know there's some artifice to every song, but Sonic Youth is one of the least Teenage Riot-y bands ever. They are cold and calculated every step of the way. It felt like they were talking down to me.

this is true. anyone who tells you otherwise is a damned fine 'murrican consumer.
I like Sonic Youth (like, not love), and love about 20 songs or so.
They are tedious and pedantic at times, all the while trying to throw off this don't give a shite image (which couldn't be further from the truth).

Like e'm or not... atleast AS influential as your beloved Pixies (I like the Pixies, too)...
I just dont see whats so calculated about them, more so than all other bands...

I'll put it on the list, but it goes in the back of the line (I have a lot of stuff to check out). I will report back, but I can't promise timeliness.
Sorry, ATX. I like emotional, raw music as a general rule. It's what appeals to me. Sonic Youth has never displayed an honest emption in anything they've ever done. It comes from the head, not the heart. I truly understand why people like them, but they aren't really aiming for me.

Well, I like music. Mostly I like songs. I can tell you I hate over 90% of their songs. Despite that, i like Dirty Boots and Teenage Riot a lot.
I have seen you talk about a lot of music you like and this stuff you're saying just makes no sense to me.

I don't know how to make it any more clear. You don't have to agree, but I don't think I'm being unclear in why I don't like Sonic Youth.
Posted on 4/16/12 at 4:48 pm to Baloo
You understand it I'm sure. I don't. I'll never mention them to you again. Jeeez 
Posted on 4/16/12 at 4:49 pm to shuke33
my choice of the original three of the OP would be pixies...fwiw, i've never cared for sonic youth either.

I'm thinking of having battle royale type threads...
like
The Talking Heads v. Elvis Costello
or
Eddie Money v. Dire Sraits
or
Duran Duran v. INXS
maybe making it a weekly thing?
what yall think?

Your'e not. But it's not like this is the first time I've seen you address Sonic Youth. I don't love them or hate them. I only own Daydream Nation. I think it's pretty good. But other albums seem to be hit or miss with tunes or them seeing how far they can push the noise and say it's hip.
