Default Sonic Youth, Man
I couldn't really find any threads about Sonic Youth so i'll just make one. What do people think of them? Personally, I think they're awesome.

Check out Dirty and Daydream Nation. If you start liking them, Washing Machine and Sonic Nurse are also good albums. Those are the only ones I have and heard, so..

Favorite songs would probably be Diamond Sea, Silver Rocket, Teenage Riot, Kissability, 100%, Peace Attack, and Pattern Recognition.

Daydream Nation is their best album. That's just my opinion though.
Dirty's pretty good too.

Dirty is a must have..beginning to end, it leaves you in awe..

100%, Drunken Butterfly and Sugar Cane are awesome.
Swimsuit Issue is with the female singing, and one of my favs.
Nic Fit is just that, a nic fit put to music, pure perfection.

Thurston Moore is one of the most underrated guitarists ever.

agreed...he was very innovative for his unique alternate tuning styles, he was also a big influence on kurt cobain, as both a guitarist and a songwriter.

I don't really see that personally. Thurston uses all kinds of wacked out tunings and dissonant chords that you cant play in standard tuning. All that tuning stuff was influenced heavily by Glenn Branca who he played with for a time . The difference according to people who understand this sort of thing more than me is Thurston is far wilder with his tunings than Glenn is. As a lyricist Id say that he's one of the most criminally underrated of his generation and thats because the music he makes is so radical. People simply don't pay attention to his words but if you listen to something like "Schizophrenia", thats lyrical genius right there. "Jesus had a twin who nothin' about sin", I mean c'mon, its pure poetry.

Kurt was a big fan of Sonic Youth but Nirvana were more or less a straight up rock band, albeit one with a strong punk aesthetic. Black Flag meets the Monkees. Lyrically Id say he was more influenced by Frank Black's nonsensical approach to writing where its disparate, unconnected images floating around that don't really add up to anything concrete.

He most definitely inspired Kurt but I don't think he influenced him.
