...is Schizophrenia, right?

Good. Glad we cleared that up:

That one with the guitars

where the female singer sounds like a man.

pichaelmarker | 21 Mar '13, 11:10 | X | ^ This | Reply
Tough to choose one

I'd say either Beauty Lies in the Eye, Candle or Theresa's Sound-World.

Well it's obviously Teen Age Riot

but I'm a big fan of Eric's Trip and Stereo Sanctity as well.

I don't know them that well

How do you guys even listen to this stuff, let alone have a favourite song?!

I tried listening to Sonic Youth once, but it was just this barrage of harsh almost-white noise. I had to turn it off.

"Incinerate", at the moment anyway

in fact Rather Ripped was undeservedly panned, no?

- Agreed
  
  Murray Street, Rather Ripped, Sonic Nurse and The Eternal are all really excellent albums.

- nah it didn't get panned
  
  it was received pretty appropriately: it's half some of their best material, half some of their most dull. Incinerate is leaps and bounds ahead though.

Stereo Sanctity is my favourite

although Peace Attack and Stones run a fairly close second.

currently I'd say Catholic Block

but Schiz, Teen Age Riot, Incinerate and Bull In The Heather are all favourites too

Too many to choose from really

one of those bands. People are suggesting songs I haven't heard of, and I have listened to all their records at one time or another. The first side of Daydream Nation I'd go for. I know it doesn't count as it is three songs, and it is the dull choice, but that as a chunk of music wins for me.

steinbolt | 21 Mar '13, 12:59 | X | ^ This | Reply
JC has always been my favourite...

... but other contenders are:

Schizophrenia, Expressway To Yr Skull, I Dreamed I Dream, Brother James, Teen Age Riot, etc etc. Moreso then Pavement this band have albums worth of classics <3

- JC might be my favourite song of theirs
  
  wouldn't say it's their best though
