Dinosaur Jr vs Sonic Youth

I'll be sure to give it another go, since it takes a while for some albums to really worm their way into my affections but for now Evol is a no likey.

What's wrong with Goo?

I like Goo, but I'm still trying to find their best albums. Not listened to A Thousand Leaves so I can't comment.

Don't get me wrong I don't dislike Goo it's just the last album out of that run that I'd pick out.

There is good stuff on it 'Dirty Boots', 'Mote', 'Disappearer' etc.

I love both of these bands, but I give my vote to Sonic Youth. They just have so many levels.

As for "Evol", I consider it to be their early masterpiece. Everything essential that SY was and what they will be from that moment on is on that album.

It was tough for me to choose. I love Dinosaur Jr.--J.'s solos are amazing, but I think SY is better and has put out many more quality albums. SY also has a more diverse sound and are more willing to experiment, which I admit sometimes doesn't turn out well, but I still appreciate it. I also need to listen to the SYR albums again. I listened to them all in a span of two days a few months ago but I don't remember a whole lot except thinking that they were all really experimental, which I don't find to be a bad thing. I should give them another chance.
