The Rise of Sonic Youth!

I know it’s packed with music that is important and influential and obviously very interesting; it’s just that a lot of it fails to really move or grab me. There aren’t many full 80s albums I get the urge to listen to, instead I just want to put on a handful of the classic tracks by whatever band.

I don’t know if it’s the production or what, but it keeps cropping up all the time whenever I listen to some classic 80s album that I hadn’t tried before.

This applies to Pixies, SY, Joy Division, Smiths, Husker Du etc etc. I don’t like it but :man_shrugging:

shrugs

bruh…
Experimental jet set?

Jet Set isn’t TERRIBLE is just kinda boring and unoriginal.

This is a very weird/surprising opinion which I don’t understand

I have never spoken to an SY fan IRL that really enjoys Sonic Nurse.

That reminds me:

haha what does this even mean

Might be why I enjoyed Sonic Nurse and then found Murray Street underwhelming

I’ve a lot of friends who are Sonic Youth fans and none of them like that album.

You’ve literally spoken to me before (IRL)
