acre thrills actually has "songs" with "parts" where they play "together"...that really felt like a big deal when i first heard it.

acre thrills, sang phat, and talker are a three way tie for first. long hair a close second. still haven't heard purple on time.
US Maple is pretty much a flawless band.

I agree with this. I would choose purple on time. before long hair...

one could make the argument, IMO.

"Purple On Time" I have tried to get into several times, there are some good songs, but overall that record doesn't do as much for me. However, the live vers of the songs are great...

Kept thinking - before it came out - that Purple On Time would be their "Evol" and breakthrough, but after months and months of trying, I can't hear it as anything but 3-4 great songs (esp. Tan Loves Blue) attached to some semi-interesting filler. Like many, I blame the drummer, possibly incorrectly. Always hated Steve Shelley too, but it took him three albums to really ruin Sonic Youth.
(Incidentally, emusic has a post-POT live album, but it's kind of meh.)

i had a dream last nite where i was gonna give this album to thurston moore, to show him actually interesting guitar rock. in order to curb his hackneyed-ass trajectory. he was like, in town, riding bicycles around with my parents.

caused by hearing "the best day" in a tobacco shop last night, on the local radio. and google image searching the cover for acre thrills right before bed

Unfortunately they seem a case of an act quietly coming to end of a natural life (for the members I suppose at least)
