Daydream Nation. Sonic Youth (1988)

Pioneer members of New York City’s clangorous early 1980s No Wave scene, Sonic Youth are renowned for a glorious form of noise-based chaos. Guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo had previously performed with Glenn Branca’s large guitar ensembles, and their alternative guitar tunings and ringing harmonies attest to this apprenticeship. On Daydream Nation, their third album, the group’s forays into outright noise always return to melodic songs that employ hypnotic arpeggios, driving punk rock rhythmic figures and furious gales of guitar-based noise. Bassist Kim Gordon’s haunting vocals and edgy lyrics add additional depth to the numbers she sings.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 04.12.2006, 05:52 PM

i see Hendrix and Zappa are also amongst the ranks.

3rd album?? Looks like they need to get their facts straight. Nevertheless, I am happy to see that they were chosen for this!

cool.

Spinning Dream · 04.12.2006, 09:29 PM

that is absolutely the most wonderful SY news ever. This shows the importance and impact underground rock can and has made on a particular portion of American society. Long live Sonic Youth!

ithinkimissyou · 04.13.2006, 03:07 AM

That's a really great honour and completely deserved. I've long had this horrible feeling the true importance of sonic youth wont be properly appreciated until they're gone - it's things like this which make me think otherwise.

Congratulations SY, you deserve every honour you get.

der Don · 04.13.2006, 07:02 AM

So SY have become an official cultural treasure of the US. What an honor - especially if you see all the other famous artists on that list. Congratulations!
