Do you have a preference over the Sonic Youth vocalists?

I think it's a shame that Lee doesn't get to sing more. The Karen songs are some of their best. In their biography it's hinted at that he's kinda bullied into not singing but I can't really picture that.

That said, I'll take Thurston songs over Kim songs any day.

i, too, have always had a hard time imagining sonic youth as stifling lee's vocal efforts, but i guess it's possible. kim is least best, though "shadow of a doubt," "beauty lies in the eye" or whatever, and some of the stuff on _dirty_ are pretty fab performances.

my vote goes to thurston. who the fuck else could deliver a line like "i can't get laid cuz everyone is dead" with such i-don't-know-what?
