Albums You Hate By Bands You Love

Yeah, I actually was really into the Eternal for a week or two (I wouldn't say it stuck, though). Definitely a solid release, but nothing exceptional as a whole. 'Antenna' was surprisingly great (I'm surprised that Thurston can do vocals like that, then again, it is Sonic Youth), and a few other Kim tracks were great stuff, too.

I see what you're saying about Bad Moon Rising. I quite like it, but I definitely understand why it would not be liked by some -- It's often too identity-less for its own good. [stereotypical] I'll likely always see Daydream Nation as their greatest, most flawless, epic release, though. [/stereotypical]

'Daydream Nation' top of the pile for me too, no arguments there.

I haven't listened to many of the SY albums that people seem to hate but I enjoyed Rather Ripped. 'Reena' is one of my favorite Sonic Youth songs and there's a bunch of other good ones on there.

Roses gets stuck in my head so randomly

It makes me punch myself in the neck, often.

the version of My Favorite Things on there is what got me hooked into the band.

A classic example of lo-fi idealism gone too far.

If I had to pick a The Hives album to include in this list it would easily be The Black and White Album...
