Sonic Youth are an 80’s group. Along with Big Black and the Butthole Surfers and Dinosaur Jr they were what made the 80s the greatest decade rock’n’roll would ever know.

I don't agree on a personal listening level but I respect the opinion. Goo and Daydream Nation were my first exposures to SY so the nostalgia levels beat down any taste changes that have occurred since. I've expanded my preferences for more experimental or "unsafe" sounds but I can still go back to easy peazy late 80's/early 90's staples any day of the week.

Their crazy Branca tunings and screwdrivers and hammers bending the strings into howling madness in way that felt sacred. They were definitely pioneers. There’s no playing the who did what first game. They brought it on stage uncompromised and made it rock’n’roll. It didn’t matter that only 20 people showed up. Profound music history was made and they murdered rock’n’roll guitar. They took it to the conclusion and ripped it to shreds.

This gets into things like you not liking The Beach Boys. You still don’t understand rock’n’roll.

Because Branca wasn’t rock’n’roll. He was working in the framework of Varèse not Chuck Berry.

Then STFU about Goo

No.

A 27-year-old Indian man plans to sue his parents for giving birth to him without his consent.

Good for him. I hope his parents get the death penalty.

lol

They should only get the death penalty if they consent to it.

Why should they be condemned to life when they never consented to it to begin with?
