Kim's best vocal
 
What is Kim's best vocal? Sweet Shine? Dude Ranch NURSE?

SJTSTANANSJKNK is the worst record

The Earl Of Slander 03.16.2010 09:21 PM

It's a three way fight between The Sprawl, I Love You Golden Blue and I Wanna Be Your Dog for me...

Yeah man I totally created this topic without really going into it. Those two songs were just out out of the top of my gigantic head. All of the songs you listed are really good, I'm going to have to go back and listen to make sure what the fuck I'm talking about.

P.S. - Why is the screen waving back at me

Dead-Air 03.16.2010 09:25 PM

"Ghost Bitch" hands down

eternal 03.16.2010 09:28 PM

ghost bitch!

Eliminator Jr, Golden Blue

+ death valley vocals from recent live shows are killer

The reason I love Dude Ranch Nurse is because Kim sounds so much like Nico. Then it made me think back and think Kim sounds like Nico on a lot of fucking songs. VU and SY are much closer than many people realize. WORD

tie between - nevermind (what was it anyway) and bull in the heather

I really love her vocals on Becuz, they're soft, yet tense. I find those are generally her best vocals (Cross The Breeze, I Love You Golden Blue, Tunic, etc).

Have to give props to I Dreamed I Dream and Jams Run Free, as well.

I Love You Golden Blue.

EVOLghost 03.16.2010 11:46 PM

Ineffable Me.

samuel 03.17.2010 12:03 AM

It would be way too difficult to choose one, but I agree with Nevermind, Ghost Bitch, and The Ineffable Me being standouts.

EVOLghost 03.17.2010 12:08 AM

I love her scream towards the end of Ineffable Me. I put it as my text alert on me iPhone.....it's awesome.

Definetely "Reena". If I had to vote best Sonic Youth -song, I also voted "Reena". "I Love you golden blue" comes right after.

Pax Americana 03.18.2010 09:17 PM

Shadow of a Doubt < THE best Kim vocals, in my opinion.
I Love You Golden Blue is another contender.
Protect Me You is great too, now that I think of it. That song never fails to scare me.

Actually, I think The Eternal features some of her best vocal performances in a long time. Calming the Snake, Sacred Trickster, Massage the History. I think her songs are actually the best ones on that album, personally. That might be the only SY album I can say that about...???

a-p a. niemi 03.19.2010 02:40 AM

I'd say Brother James, Ghost Bitch, PCH, Ineffable Me and Plastic Sun.
Or at least those stand out the most for me.

Keeping It Simple 03.19.2010 02:34 PM

Kim's vocal style is very reminiscent of Nico's vocal style.

joe11121 03.21.2010 04:18 PM

Shadow of a Doubt, schizophrenia, ineffable me, beauty lies in the eye

Kim doesnt have much range, as any honest SY fan would attest to, so the song itself is generally what makes a Kim song great. There are only a few instances i can think of where her voice is perfect, Beauty Lies In The Eye, I love you golden blue, Swimsuit issue, Reena, Jams Run Free. I actually think the older she gets the better her voice sounds.

snow and lights 03.21.2010 11:34 PM

JC, for me

_slavo_ 03.22.2010 03:28 AM

JC is a good call. Shadow of a Doubt and I love you Golden Blue as well.
But my favourite will always be Secret Girl.
