What is the greatest song of all time and why is it "Candle" by Sonic Youth?

>that noticeable modal jazz influence
>that counterpoint
>those shifting meters and rhythms
>those lyrics
>that 32-bar noise section
It's literally perfect.

The greatest song of all time is Gustav Holst's "The Planets", specifically this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0b4STz1lo

The greatest song of all time is Surf's Up. Prove me wrong

Both amazing but Surf's Up is the purest distillation of everything The Beach Boys can be. Their best album

You bros have any tips for enduring through the Kim tracks? Should I just skip them?

>>60695536
Cross the Breeze is fucking awesome though.

Not even a top 5 Can song senpai.
"Oh Yeah" is actually the best song of all time though so I guess you came fairly close.
>>
>>60695172
It is the purest, but the purest distillation of everything The Beach Boys CAN be does not make a great album.

They're literally a few minutes long each, come on, you spend longer wiping your ass weekly. They'll grow on you.
>>
>>60695631
Got over it? What does that even mean? Oh Yeah is amazing, Tago Mago is amazing, but Bel Air is their most forward thinking, ahead of its time, and grooviest song imo
>>
>>60695300
>>60694683
Trilogy:The Wonder is the best song on Daydream Nation though
>>
>Teen Age Riot
>Silver Rocket
>The Sprawl
>'Cross the Breeze
>Eric's Trip
>Hey Joni
>Candle
>Hyperstation
All 10/10 songs. Daydream Nation is the second-greatest album of all time by the second greatest band of all time.
>>
>>60695898
Hahahahahahaha

Interested to know what your #1 is

Pic related.
Every song is 10/10.

>>60695920
On some pressings, it is.
>>
>>60695979
Well I posted Future Days so I can buy this. But Daydream Nation #2? Get out of here. Not even the best Sonic Youth

>>60695536
Kim songs are pretty integral to the Sonic Youth experience imo... maybe listen to a few of her more popular songs first?
>>
>>60694683
I can relate heavily to this OP, gr8 taste
>>
>>60696015
>Not even the best Sonic Youth
It's the pinnacle of everything they set out to achieve. The band themselves even admitted that they pretty much had to start from scratch afterwards because Daydream Nation was so much of a final statement. It's one of the most refined, expansive and affecting albums in the entire popular music canon. I give it a 9.5/10, close to perfect.
>>
>>60695536
listen to Washing Machine, Kim's songs are more easy-going after Dirty

DDN is overrated in the grand scheme of things but it has key moments that make it great

It's overrated compared to their other albums. Too many people act like it's their only album. It's still great.

daydream nation is one of the most awkward, cheesy albums i've ever heard. only songs i like are cross the breeze, providence and candle. the rest is worthless.
>>
>>60694683
I prefer crossin the breeze if were talking about this album, its more conventional but its still barely accessible to normies
>>
>>60696651
>sister better than DDN and BMR
lol no
>>
>>60696717
this, i fucking cringe at that song, but you have to admit mote is a darn good song

Hey Joni is the best song on Daydream Nation, I thought that was an established fact?

>KICK IT

blue skies

>>60696940
>A SNAP
>OF ELECTRIC
>WHIPJERDK
>>
>>60696651
everything was perfect until NYC
nigga that album is weak af it barely adds any relevance to their discography at all
>>
Rain on Tin is the GOAT SY track 2bh
>>
A Thousand Leaves – Sonic Youth (6.5/10)
NYC Ghosts & Flowers – Sonic Youth (7/10)
Washing Machine – Sonic Youth (8.5/10)
Murray St – Sonic Youth (7.5/10)
Evol – Sonic Youth (7/10)
Goo – Sonic Youth (6.5/10)
Bad Moon Rising – Sonic Youth (6/10)
Sister – Sonic Youth (7.5/10)
Daydream Nation – Sonic Youth (9/10)

Based on these ratings, which ones should I listen to next? Should I even bother with anything else?
>>
>>60697300
everything after Murray Street is just ok 2bh, you'd probably wanna listen to Sonic Nurse
>>
>>60697300

Dirty is pretty hit and miss but worth a listen still. Sugar Kane is one of my favourites
>>
>>60697300
You'll love Sonic Nurse
>>
>>60698316

listening now
>>
the best song of all time is hot nigga by bobby shmurda you fucking keks
>>
Starpower and Expressway to yr skull are better.
>>
>>60699576
>Expressway to yr skull
