It used to be Evol, but I've come to love Daydream Nation and Dirty probably just as much. I don't think I can choose. Amazing band. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

Never listened to them, so I'm trying out Daydream Nation now. What album would you guys (since there's no girls here  ) recommend for a first-time Youth listener?------------- Check out my FREE album: A one-man project The Distant Dynasty |

Bad Moon Rising, but it's not included in the poll (why no "other" option?) so instead I gave my vote to Evol. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

Sorry Stool Man. The exclusion of Bad Moon Rising was an oversight. Great album. But alas, I cannot add to the list now.  ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Since their's no Experimental Jet Set, I'll have to go with Dirty. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

It was Sister for a long time, but now it's Daydream Nation. Honorable mention to another early one not on the list - "Sonic Death", a really creepy live album that was put together collage-style. Quite lo-fi but that adds to the cavernous atmosphere, like one of those early Swans live albums. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Sister was my favorite when I first discovered SY. For some reason, it's not really one of my favorites anymore. That tends to happen with bands I love. Different albums become favorites at different times. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

But that doesn't answer my question why?  Perhaps because they're such a good band!------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

^Yes, that's quite a good explanation. I was thinking along the same lines, but I didn't want to use the word progressive in the contexts of this site! I would be referring to the band's musical growth and changes of style over the many years and different albums. I really cannot overstate their quality and importance. And just the shear pleasure of listening to them! ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

I've always had a soft spot for EVOL for it's dreamy ambience. But Daydream Nation and Goo are those I listen to the most. I'll go with Goo today, that was my introduction back in the day, saw them on that tour too. Loud! |
