I love the ep, (I love them all) but something has to bring up the rear.

1.)Sister
2.)Washing Machine
3.)Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr Idols
4.)BMR
5.)Daydream Nation
6.)Goo
7.)NYC G&F
8.)Dirty
9.)Rather Ripped
10.)EVOL
11.)Sonic Nurse
12.)Murray Street
13.)EJSTNS
14.)A thousand Leaves
But, I really love A thousand leaves (except a few songs) or EJSTNS, there is no weak album in my list, it's just maybe, those I listen the most and those I listen less...

Daydream Nation
EVOL
Sonic Nurse
Dirty
Confusion Is Sex
Goo
Washine Machine
Sister
A Thousand Leaves
Murray Street
Experimental Jet Set
Rather Ripped
Sonic Youth
Bad Moon Rising
NYC Ghosts and Flowers

Id like to promote Nurse to the top tier, because it kicks the tits off of the other SY albums around that period.

01 - NYC Ghosts & Flowers
02 - Bad Moon Rising
03 - Sonic Nurse
04 - EVOL
05 - 1000 Leaves
06 - Sonic Youth
07 - Sister
08 - Washing Machine
09 - Confusion Is Sex
10 - Daydream Nation
11 - Dirty
12 - Experimental Jet Set
13 - Murray Street
14 - Goo
15 - Rather Ripped

I don't know if this list is representative, cause i like every release in some kind of way (Rather Ripped is the only stabile thing in the list, tho i love Pink Steam; and the first three places will always be on top, even if their position is changing sometime between them)

1. Evol
2. Daydream Nation
3. Sister
4. Bad Moon Rising
5. Confusion is Sex(/KYI)
6. Murray Street
7. Goo
8. Washing Machine
9. A Thousand Leaves
10. Sonic Nurse
11. Dirty
12. NYC Ghosts and Flowers
13. Experimental Jet-Set
14. Rather Ripped

not including s/t... not sure where it would be... Maybe after Murray Street.

1. Dirty
2. Rather Ripped
The rest in any order behind the MIGHTY TWO.

Surely you jest.

I haven't listened to all of the albums, so this is my top 5
1.Daydream Nation
2.EVOL
3.Sister
4.Sonic Youth
5.Dirty

Don't worry, you have the three best ones.

Are the 3 best ones DDN, EVOL and Sister?

am i the only one that thinks dirty isn't that good?

I didn't like Dirty when I first heard it, because I wanted to hear something that sounded like Daydream Nation.
I can see why some people don't like it. There are some songs on there that aren't very good.

1. daydream nation
2. evol
3. bad moon rising
4. jet set
5. sister
6. s/t
7. a thousand leaves
8. confusion is sex
9. nyc ghosts and flowers
10. goo
11. murray street
12. washing machine
13. sonic nurse
14. dirty
15. rather ripped

Nope, I agree with you.

I like rather ripped a lot more than most people and DDN less... It's hard to say. I try and judge it on how likely i am to put it on.
