Here’s one ****ers:

Sonic Youth are better than The Rolling Stones

I said it
I meant it
I’m here to represent it

Close enough. At least this album. This track right here is quite possible the most raw rock track ever set forth. Kim Gordon sounds like hate. Even the intro sets you up to be absolutely startled when the song actually starts.

I dig that album but that track kind of eclipses the rest of the album for me so that I need to actively make time for the rest. It's just the best ****ing track. The rest is fantastic too though.

I’m not even sure if it’s my favorite track on that album.

I love everything about it start to finish and I know it like the back of my hand.

Making the Nature Scene has had a profound impact on my mental health. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about that song even when I’m not listening to music. It’s sort of like that song represents one of my secret identities or I have a way of becoming that song.

That’s an album I can listen to in my head completely by memory.

Norg

there 2 basic and dull IMO

^ Despite Norg's grammar, this comes closest to my uninformed opinion. Uninformed because while I grew up on their good-at-the-time 60s singles, I never commited to buying an album. My main problems are with how Jagger dominated the band. It feels like every song turns into a vehicle for him to project his faux-American bad-ass sexuality. That's not a celebration I find interesting tbh.

(nice gif, btw, MicShazam!)

Regardless, the country Rolling Stones are dull. They should have stuck to their wheelhouse.

Nah, they had quite a few very successful, musically speaking, stabs at it.

P.S. Growing up, my dad was all about country. He and my stepmom's favorite song was Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors". The first time I tried to explain how awesome rock guitar was (14-ish) he pulled out a Chet Atkins record and shut me the **** up big time. He had a HUGE collection of stuff both old and new at the time (mid 70s), and spent a few years turning me on to a lot of awesome stuff.

I know me my country bros.

Spinning Chet Atkins records with your dad? That’s not a country music education. Whiskey fueled beatdowns with Ernest Tubb playing. That’s how you learn about country.
