Why are all the most popular tracks on the hype machine remixes?

From 1969's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. I think of Neil Young as a more emotional Bob Dylan, who probably smoked less cigarettes. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere- My favorite album of his. (2nd Studio album):

MP3: Down By The River - Neil Young & Crazy Horse (YSI)
MP3: Round And Round (It Won't Be Long) - Neil Young & Crazy Horse (YSI)
MP3: Cinnimon Girl - Neil Young & Crazy Horse (YSI)



It's too sunny and hot to spend any time walking around, need something to do that takes up a lot of time, like uploading. So, here's a nice mini Sonic Youth discog compilation. If you don't have an idea of what every Sonic Youth album sort of sounds like, here's your chance. Just an easy click on the links below. Get all of the albums at Amazon.

My favorite Sonic Youth albums were all released in the mid 90's. Solid tracks, somewhat traditional style, a bit of a chorus or returning melody. Their early stuff was too weird and experimental for my taste (maybe Sister and Daydream Nation holding some exceptions). The early stuff wasn't hard to listen to or anything- I just prefer Washing Machine to Bad Moon Rising. Anyway, not great at explaining, here it is:
