  • Thanks for putting this up!

  • While they weren't as successful or well known at this time I found early Sonic Youth to be much more interesting. Thanks for posting this lesser known classic.

  • I love how it starts, really powerful. and then it all gets quiet♥

  • Its not a useless detail that Steve Shelley doesn't drum on this song, but its a useless detail that his picture isn't from the Bad Moon Rising era. Who gives a fuck? I just came here to listen to the song, not to do some fact-checking.

  • @ballparkmanatee

    alot of faggot fucking hipsters listen to SY .........

    yes , a useless fucking detail.

  • ibelieveicansoar... i don't think it's useless, the details is what makes the music sound the way it does. Either way, Sonic Youth is one of the best!!

  • love this fucking album

  • @QballSam yeah, their best i rekon. Then Sister then Goo.

  • Damn...

    This album, "Evol", and "Confusion is Sex"

    Three masterpieces in a row

    "Sister" was decent, but after that it was a long, steady decline...

  • @koreankayagum

    I hated Confusion Is Sex & Bad Moon Rising ......... those 2 albums sound like noisy garbage.

    EVOL & Sister were amazing .

  • Comment removed

  • tasty

  • this song is epic

  • SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

  • It's a shame that this person put a Daydream Nation-era press photo of the band, though. Steve Shelley was NOT the drummer on this song, it was Bob Bert.

  • i just chose the first photo i found.. honestly i don't care so much about these useless details

  • Steve Shelley was probably eating Cheetos sitting on his sofa in Michigan when S.Y. was recording this song in NYC with Bob Bert, so I think you're the only one who thinks it's a "useless detail." B.B. had a much more tribal drum style, which made S.Y. sound quite different after he left and S.S. joined.

    If you want to know how I know this is a D.N.-era pic, purchase D.N. and look at the photos in it.

  • 1) i don't care what Shelley was doing when SY was recording this song

    2) you're the only one who has to dispute about this thing.. so evidently anybody else thinks this is a useless detail

    3) i don't want to know how you know where this pic is from

  • Yeah, you're right, I'm the "only one" who cares. An average of 2 people per day have seen this clip since you posted it, yet you're acting like 10 million people have seen it. YouTube is a video site (stunning revelation, I know...), so someone who can't even be bothered to create a video for a song should not be surprised if people criticize a blatantly incorrect photo.  Get over yourself and stop acting you did S.Y. some big favor by posting this.

  • This little dispute made me giggle, regardless the song still defies description. So good.

  • you are... it is really a small detail

  • yeah stfu sonic youth is sonic youth,all you need is thurston,kim and lee and theres your distinct sound,stick any drummer in there for all we care

  • @ibelieveicansoar i don't think it's useless, the details is what makes the music sound the way it does. Either way, Sonic Youth is one of the best!!

  • @ibelieveicansoar not a useless detail.

  • @ibelieveicansoar are you Bob Berts mother?

  • One of the most mind-blowing songs ever made. If I could recommend one S.Y. song to someone who has never heard them, this would be it, or maybe "Hey Joni" or "Shadow Of A Doubt."

  • this and justice is might(most wonderful bittersweet guitar tone ever) are one of many great pieces of work in the whole sonic youth empire

  • brilliant song off a brilliant album.. amazing intro..

  • Greatest band ever...

  • El mejor LP de Sonic Youth sin lugar a dudas.

  • Great album! One of the more experimental albums of Sonic Youth, haunting and psychedelic at the same time.
