why is this so special?
>the most influential rock album since late 80s
>innovative musical structures
>ahead of its time
hmm i dont know
>>64230829
i mean there were more influential rock albums in the 80's but yeah kinda this
>>64230829
>the most influential rock album since late 80s
Doesn't make it good.
>innovative musical structures
How are they innovative?
>ahead of its time
How was it ahead of its time?
it's the same shitty uninspired riff over and over again
there are MANY albums more influential than this:
>rema-rema - wheel in
>swans - filth
>fucking surfer rosa
>big black
>black circus
>butthole surfers
>even fucking soundgarden
>>64230829
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sonic Youth was a pathetic bunch of TVU-wannabes, one of the most overrated bands of all time.
Noise rock for normies
>>64231002
>it's the same shitty uninspired riff over and over again
>proceeds to praise Swans and Big Black
>>64231067
they are at least intersting
>>64231074
lmao
captures an essence
>>64230986
how are they not innovative? nothing like it had ever been made. only polvo has come close to doing something like this. it was ahead of its time because of how innovative it was
>>64231019
wtf? apart from coming from new york, this album hasn't got much to do with tvu.
>>64231002
>soundgarden
>swans
>pixies
lol cmon. at least say something like husker du
>>64231019
>>64231074
>generic rock songs with feedback, edgy lyrics and a drum machine/two drummers (on an album with the most basic drumming imaginable)
>interesting
desu velvet underground & nico is better in everyway
>>64231123
yea but its not a fuckin competition you faggot
too bad every member of the band were fucking assholes
>>64231109
at least they used a drum machine to show how little it mattered.
for 80's rock, big black, swans and sonic youth are all pretty good imo. sonic youth just happens to have a shittier discography in the 90's
>>64231104
>apart from coming from new york, this album hasn't got much to do with tvu.
lol ok. you just keep telling yourself that.
>>64231104
>how are they not innovative? nothing like it had ever been made. only polvo has come close to doing something like this. it was ahead of its time because of how innovative it was
When you call something "innovative" or "interesting", you have to explain what exactly makes it "innovative" or "interesting".
Just saying that it's "the musical structures" or "the composition" doesn't explain it either, you have to elaborate on this. What makes the musical structures interesting or innovative?
reading this thread made me really crave listening to this album, thanks guys. fantastic album. feels like a summer breeze
>>64231002
what the fuck is black circus?
>>64231170
pleb
>>64231178
im sorry breaking circus
>>64230796
I used to love it when I was a teen. just recently tired to listen to it and was bored out of my gourd
>>64231165
the fact that nothing like it had ever been made. what else do you think "innovative" means?
>>64231178
i thought that was weird too
>>64231189
you don't even know the bands and albums you're talking about lmao
>>64231202
>you don't even know the bands and albums you're talking about lmao
dude, locust abortion technician is miles better than sonic "kiddies"
Best to worst:
'Cross The Breeze
Trilogy
Hey Joni
The Sprawl
Silver Rocket
Teen Age Riot
Providence
Kissability
Eric's Trip
Total Trash
Candle
Rain King
>>64231220
locust abortion technician is better, but i wouldn't say sonic youth is worse because of that
>>64231229
>Rain King
>worst
>Teen Age Riot
>not the best track
>a Kim Gordon track is the best track
>>64231254
>worse
bad**
sorry
>>64231254
I'm ok with this
>>64230796
Sonic youth isn't that great desu. Indie kids like to pretend they're super into them so they feel relevant
>>64231019
>>64230796
If you had to ask, you'll never know.
>>64231280
it's pretty great though. not jawdropping great but still pretty good and influential. bands like unwound and polvo would've probably sounded VERY different without sonic youth.
SPIRIT DESIRE

WE WILL FALL
>>64231002
>surfer rosa
thanks to it, Nirvana and other shitty grunge bands happened, don't ever forget that
Doolittle is much better anyways
>>64231135
Steve Shelley was pretty nice when I met him.
So was Thurston but yea he's an ass every other time lmao.
Lee is a fucking introverted nerd.
>>64231261
>>64231342
do people really only know the single? that's fucking disgusting. it isn't even the best track
>>64231385
>Doolittle is much better anyways
*not
>>64231385
doolittle is why those bands happened though
surfer rosa is the underrated gem no one talks about
>>64231394
Daydream Nation is my favorite album ever and Teen Age Riot is the best track m8
>>64231439
have you tried listening past the first 3 minutes you mouthbreather
>>64231449
what? thats my favorite album you dumb motherfucker
>>64231504
yeah i know it's the only one you own, now try actually listening to it
>>64230986
Daydream Nation was ahead of its time because it fused noise with pop melodies in a rock 'n' roll band, something very few bands had successfully, in such an accessible way, done up to that point.
The "musical structures" are innovative because again, nothing on Daydream Nation is particularly hard on the ears or painful to listen to despite the band coming from a significantly more confrontational musical background. Yet it still retains that aspect of noise without sacrificing melody, or hooks. Plus the massive breakdowns and songs melting into extended noise jams is again, innovative for its time. At the very least the album is notable for writing such great songs around dissonant noise shit and weirdo guitar tunings.
It is totally a great album. The whole thing reeks of attitude, it's punk and rock and noise condensed into a couple of songs.
>>64231439
I hold this exact opinion as well
The Sprawl is a close second though
>>64231761
Thanks for posting something more insightful, I wish more people on /mu/ would explain their opinions instead of just calling something "interesting" or "innovative".
>Plus the massive breakdowns and songs melting into extended noise jams is again, innovative for its time.
What about The Velvet Underground? Sister Ray for example is exactly that. Or Les Rallizes dénudés (not sure if they count though since most of their recordings were released after DN).
>>64231989
>What about The Velvet Underground? Sister Ray for example is exactly that.
No it isn't
It's more like Loaded than that song
I like kim's sexy voice in the store song
>>64233589
the money store
>>64230796
overrated crap baka
>>64234042
desu senpai
>>64230796
because you just don't understand
>>64230829
Eliminator Jr. is the only good song
>>64230796
I'll never understand why /mu/ hates this album so much while praising every damn indie rock band of the 90s
>>64234982
explain
>>64234982
it's popular
>>64234933
how can you only like that song?
its good, but its not like its vastly different from every other song
>>64230796
>why is this so special?
Because of Teen age riot. That's the only reason.
>>64235044
it's not the only song i like but it is my favorite part of the album
also it's very much the opposite from the rest of the album the fuck senpai
>>64235222
"no"
Two words: Silver Rocket.
>>64235559
Eliminator Jr. is just a pissed off angular riff repeated over and over followed by primitive drumming and a few dissonant chords thrown in towards the end, literally the opposite of what the album was doing
>>64231385
>can't appreciate Nirvana
Dismiss yourself
>>64231229
>candle 2nd last
explain this
>>64235757
smells like teen spirit am i right xD
>>64236347

But the Sprawl is actually the best song on the album. Kim > Lee on this album for sure.

I'm actually kind of glad that apparently half of /mu/ doesn't like my favorite album.
>>64230796
Does it really need to be explained? The album fucking slays.
>>64239342
uhm, yes?
>>64239831
cringe
>>64231229
>'Cross The Breeze
Excellent choice, but Teenage Riot and Candle both deserve to be higher.
>>64240049
Typical sonic Youth fan...
>>64239831
>Thurston never found his shit
I'm listening to the album so hard right now !
It's great guys why so much hate ?

>>64230796

i think its 10:30
>>64241507
>>64231989
Idk to me it feels like VU more incorporated noise whereas SY were defined by it
>>64238202
The cure fucking suck dick, the smiths are god tier faggot.
