What's your favorite Sonic Youth post 80's release? If you have one.

Tie between Dirty and Rather Ripped. So many waffles.
I will say my enjoyment of their later albums seems to put me in the minority.

I agree that their later material is really strong. Murray St and Rather Ripped are my favs.

I'm surprised with the love for Rather Ripped. I don't think that record was that good.

Goo.
Must say that Rather Ripped is indeed vg, a close second choice. Sonic nurse is also vg, unmade bed is probably their best song of the last 20 something years.

Goo has some of my favorite SY songs (Tunic (Song for Karen), Mildred Pierce, Cinderella's Big Score), but it also has some of the lamest songs they ever recorded (My Friend Goo, Kool Thing and especially Dirty Boots).

1,000 leaves easily. Some fabulous long dreamy shit on there. My 2nd fave of theirs after Daydream Nation

For me, it’s Goo. I stopped paying attention after Jet Set, though, so maybe I’m missing out.

I like all of those lame songs!
“Tunic” hasn’t aged well for me. Hidden gem on the record: “Disappearer.”

Mote is easily the best post-80s SY track that I've heard.

Goo, Dirty, and Washing Machine are standouts for me. The Laundry Trilogy.
