Sonic Youth

[ComfortablyNumb]

No
Have you? And if you have, tell me how unforgettably rad it was.

Oh it made me cream myself

It was amazing, beautiful chaos.

Kim is still hot in her 50's, Thurstoon still looks 15, they still sound amazing.

Cool band! I have a few albums.....my son has a lot more of them than me!!

My first exposure to sonic youth in a sense was actually the Simpsons episode where Homer goes to Hullabalooza (lollapalooza) and sonic youth is there (also smashing punpkins) the onyl reason I bring it up is that show was made when they were still a symbol of youth, which makes it rather funny to look at that picture of them now

I personally love their cover of the Carpenters "Superstar" and also Kissability, which i quote a fair bit despite absolutely everyone missing the reference.

I like the CD Dirty. It's pretty good I have to check out their other albums now.

 

[Riff Raff]

Dirty is the album I have of theirs, was awesome.

 

[snakes&ladders]

Talking about TRUE originality in rock

 

[rtbuck]

Great Band!!
Here's my favorite song by them of of my favorite album by them (Dirty):




Of course myself being a NY Dolls fan... this cover by Sonic Youth was from a Flexi Disc on Sassy Magazine. It sounds like a cross between the Dolls & the Velvet Underground





I thought this tune was great, it was by the Dim Stars who featured Thurston Moore & Steve Shelley along with Richard Hell. It's kind of a slow plodding updated version of Hell's punk anthem "Blank Generaation". They released an ep (Which I have on cassette somewhere).
