Probably DDN. Honourable mentions to EVOL, Bad Moon Rising and Goo though. And this is all bearing in mind I still haven't heard Sister or any of their stuff after Dirty, with the exception of The Eternal.

I think the atmosphere of EVOL appeals to me more than any other SY album, but it don't think it's the "best" album.

Gibson SG (Bare Knuckles Cold sweat pups), Death by audio fuzz war, Limited edition cry baby, Black arts toneworks Pharaoh, MI audio BBD, Melekko 616, Boss DD7, Hardwire RV-7 one line out into a EHX HOG into a Hiwatt Higain 100, Marshall1960AX, Second line out of the RV-7 into an Orange Rockerverb 100 MI With a Framas Dragon 4x12 cab (Loaded with Red coat Private Jack speakers).

probably Goo. I really like Sister and EVOL too though.
I went through a huge Y00f phase, but I'm not really interested in them anymore.

The Diamond Sea is teh best Y00f song.
currently enjoying music from: Sarah, Slumberland, Fortuna POP!, K, Postcard and PopGrooves Records.

GOO, DDN and DIRTY. Not in any particular order though.


I quite like Murray Street too.
Is the Tele Bass done yet?

I'm quite fond of Dirty. In fact it's the only one I own, but Sister is pretty good too.
would it bother you more if we used guns?

Don't have one, they all have good and bad songs. Some are better than others but they have never released an album where I like all songs on it.

For me it's between EVOL, Daydream, Murray Street, and Goo.

Cobang was a terrible guitarist.
Stop trying to be like him.

I don't think I could ever choose just one, keep going through changes like ozzy.

Bad Moon Rising, Evol, Sister, Daydream Nation and Goo are my favourites, loads of good songs on them, I don't enjoy as much of the later ones as I do these. They could make one great one out of everything that came after Goo!

I play the newer stuff more often , after 20 years of listening to SY i rarely listen back to the older albums. Goo is probably my all time favourite.

I love their more accessible tunes(now that I'm older) so im going for Murray Street(surprisingly melodic and dissonant at the same time); Daydream Nation(never seem to outgrow this epic); Expermental Jet Set, Thrash and No Star(I love Bull in the Heather so muuuuuch that I'm including the album here)and Washing Machine(just because I have the album and the nostalgia in the 90s). The newer materials like Rather Ripped and The Eternal sounds good to me :mrgreen:

Washing Machine is my favorite of theirs with Daydream,

I'd go top 5 all in:
1. Washing Machine 5/5
2. Daydream Nation 5/5
3. Sister 5/5
4. Sonic Nurse 4/5
5. Murray Street (maybe, lots in this range, though I'm on a little Murray Street tear of late) 4/5
