YearTitleAvailable On2015" Suspirica "Fifty at 50 (2015)2015" Deeper Into Movies "2015" Awhileaway "2015" The Ballad of Red Buckets "- “Blue Line Swinger” Album: Electr-O-Pura (1995) Okay, maybe I’m biased toward the epics and blow-outs. “Blue Line Swinger” nearly sums up a 30+ year career in just under 10 minutes, starting off fragile and indecisive before growing into a committed roar, with the band’s full complement of tricks—Hubley’s beautifully flat vocals, a freak-out solo, organ drones, “baa baa baas”—supporting a timeless riff.
- “I Heard You Looking” Album: Painful (1993) After a few fine but faceless college-rock albums in the 1980s, Yo La Tengo revealed a masterful ability to unite melody and noise near the end of the decade.
- “Tom Courtenay” / “Tom Courtenay (Acoustic)” Album: Electr-O-Pura / Camp Yo La Tengo EP (1995) As with “Big Day Coming,” the Yo La Tengo have released multiple versions of “Tom Courtenay,” one of their most popular songs.
- “Big Day Coming” Album: Painful (1993) Painful is almost bookended by two versions of “Big Day Coming.” There’s a noisier, rocking take before the album’s final song that has an ersatz shoegaze vibe similar to “From a Motel 6.”
- I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One (1997) Tracks, Total Length, Average: 16, 68:10, 4:16. Best “sprawl”: “Spec Bebop” is its longest by far at 10:41, but this goes to the song that follows, the penultimate track “We’re an American Band” (not a cover of the Grand Funk Railroad song), which explodes into a glorious extended guitar coda over an overexposed McNew bass line after a subdued first half.
- And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out (2000) Tracks, Total Length, Average: 13, 77:15, 5:57 (4:58 if you exclude the 17:42 closing track “Night Falls on Hoboken”)
- Painful (1993) Tracks, Total Length, Average: 11, 48:36, 4:25. Best “sprawl”: Instrumental closer “I Heard You Looking”, also probably the best sprawl of their career.
- Electr-O-Pura (1995) Tracks, Total Length, Average: 14, 58:23 (contrary to what’s listed on the CD case), 4:10. Best “sprawl”: “Blue Line Swinger” Best “small”: “The Hour Grows Late”
