Which early Sonic Youth Album would you most like?

Developed by: Al

There's so many of them out there it can be hard to choose. This helps you choose out of the first 5 Sonic Youth Albums.

Question 1: What do you prefer song lyrics to be about?

	Being afraid/scared by the world
	Hazy love songs
	Liberation and discovery
	Different states of existence
	Drug-induced dream states

Question 2: How do you like music to sound?

	Like total bliss
	Dreamy and blurred
	Chaotic and spooky
	Progy Epics
	Loud and alternative rock

Question 3: How easy to listen to do you like music?

	I want music that is fairly easy to listen to but sounds way better if I focus on it
	I really don’t care if everything is out of tune and it sounds like it was recorded in a shed as long as it sounds good
	I don’t care if the songs keep stopping for insanely long wig outs as long as most of it ROCKS!
	I want to be able to jump about to it but I don’t might the odd quite or weird moment
	I want to be able to do other stuff at the same time as listen to the music, it doesn’t have to be commercial but it can’t be too loud

Question 4: Where and when do you like to listen to music?

	In the car on a long journey
	As I go to sleep at night
	With someone I love
	If it sounds better really late with all the lights off, incense burning and no-one else around then it’s great
	As loud as possible at home when I get in a REALLY bad mood

Question 5: Do you prefer more plain rock songs or guitar soundscapes and compositions?

	Definitely soundscapes, I don’t want clear borders between songs or anything like that but one or two rock songs in the mix might just be okay
	About 50/50, with fairly clear borders between the songs but still with a feeling that the music is not all quite there
	Mainly rock but with guitar soundscapes in the middle of songs which then change back to the song at the end
	Neither; I want the music to be so mangled and chaotic that I can’t tell
	Almost all rock songs, but experiments with samples and other cool stuff is okay

Question 6: Which of these lyrics is most appealing to you?

	“She’s in a bad mood but I’m not falling for it”
	“I can’t get laid because everyone is dead”
	“Society is a hole, it makes me lie to my friends”
	“My violence is a dream, a real dream”
	“A Teenage Riot at a public station”

Question 7: Are you already a Sonic Youth fan?

	I have never heard of them but I’d quite like to now
	I’ve got some albums and I really like them
	I’ve got one or two albums and I think they’re pretty good but I haven’t found anything really special yet and I would like to
	I have heard a few early songs and I’m interested in what I’ve heard
	Yeah, they’re my favourite band and I love their really alternative stuff

Question 8: Are you willing to experiment?

	I’ll listen to anything until I like it if I want to, and I have no prejudices whatsoever
	Some weird stuff is okay, but if there’s no real tune or lyrics for a whole song I’ll just turn it off
	I don’t like really weird music and I do have some prejudices against very “alternative” music but in general I’m okay with it
	If the music takes me somewhere I’ve never been before I’ll definitely give it another try but other than that I like most music
	I’ll listen to anything at least once and have very few prejudices

Question 9: Which name do you like more?

	Kim Gordon
	Steve Shelley
	Lee Ranaldo
	I honestly don't give a damn about names
	Thurston Moore
