At first I was expecting a majority of Rather Ripped answers. Then I looked at the dates.

Plastic Sun stops Murray Street from being a flawless album

Rob Instigator 08.11.2010 04:26 PM

eliminator jr RULES. daydream nation is as flawless (TO ME) as any collection of songs ever


and I love Plastic Sun. I dig it for it ups the amp ante in snoozy sleepy backwoods murray street

I would say Thurston kept Sonic Nurse from being perfect, but it's not on
him...the whole band writes the songs. He just happened to be the one
who scribbled over the blandest music on the album. ("Peace Attack")

SuperCreep 08.11.2010 06:54 PM

i love eliminator jr. i wish they'd play it when they do the wonder/hyperstation.

kim gordon and the arthur doyle hand cream keeps sonic nurse from being a perfect album in my book.

automatic bzooty 08.11.2010 07:24 PM

i love both plastic sun and eliminator jr.

moreso eliminator. fuck yes.

donnie 08.11.2010 11:03 PM

"that's what you get when you use the very best!" I love hearing Kim say that. It's so urgent. And eliminator Jr., especially after reading it took off from a riff of ZZ Top.(Goodbye 20th C).
Now, Hotwire my Heart, maybe that one's not so great.

EVOLghost 08.12.2010 12:05 AM

Toxa 08.12.2010 01:08 AM

1. drunken butterfly

atsonicpark 08.12.2010 04:45 AM

1. little trouble girl
2. sleeping around
3. plastic sun
4. peace attack
5. hotwire my heart

6-10. Random songs from rather ripped and dirty and jet set.

Everything else is pretty golden, and they have hundreds of songs.

I actually agree with this. MURRAY ST is one of my favorite albums ever. But "Plastic Sun" is its weak link. HOWEVER... Kim more more more than makes up for it with "Sympathy" which is probably the best song on the album. It's so................. woah.

"Sleeping Around" does suck.

Pax Americana 08.12.2010 05:49 PM

Junkie's Promise
Panty Lies
The Neutral
Lights Out (alright, a bunch of songs off of RR)
Some of Experimental Jetset such as Self-Obsessed and Sexxee
Marilyn Moore (This one just bores me to death)

Plastic Sun seems to get kicked around a lot as a least favorite, but I actually like that one.

I think it says a lot about how good the band really is that I really can't think of too many SY songs that I flat out don't like. I mean, they have a pretty massive output and most of it's quality stuff.

Pretty sure the lyric is, "That's what you get when you use a box mix". She's comparing Mariah to angel food cake. Wait, you are talking about "Mariah Carey and Arthur Doyle Hand Cream" right?

donnie 08.12.2010 06:20 PM

I knew I had it wrong (and I knew I'd hear from somebody!)but I was too lazy to look it up, so thanks.

Derek 08.12.2010 06:37 PM

EVOL's one of my favourite albums ever but there's a song on there I dislike (can't remember the name at this exact moment though).

joe11121 08.12.2010 06:50 PM

my least favourite has gotta be Sleepin' Around
