A lot of people don't like this album because of their friendship with Nirvana around the release, but it's a fucking stellar album.
One of my favorite guitar records.

It's a good album, but one of the weaker Sonic Youth releases.

I love the song Superstar the best. My mom listens to it ALL the time.

What're your favorites?

Daydream Nation is, without a doubt, their greatest achievement.

This is how I rank Sonic Youth studio albums (full length LPs only):


Daydream Nation
Bad Moon Rising
Goo
Sonic Nurse (yes, I realize most people aren't particularly fond of contemporary Sonic Youth work, but this album is absolutely amazing)
Sister
Murray Street
Evol
Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
Dirty
Confusion is Sex
A Thousand Leaves
Washing Machine
Rather Ripped
NYC Ghosts & Flowers

NYC Ghosts & FlowersI agree about Sonic Nurse, I saw them around it's release and they were stellar.
I haven't heard Murray Street yet, not to mention a lot of other Sonic Youth releases (it's a huge catalog).
I need to catch up!

I like Dirty alot, but Goo is my favorite.

I'm a fan of Sonic Youth in general, so while there are certin albums I like more than others, there isn't one that I dislike. and I know alot of people may not have liked it, but I thought Rather Ripped was a good album.

God take your Juno and shove it up your ass and then listen to real Sonic Youth.



Band is sooo good.

They're all worth a listen, with the exception of NYC Ghosts & Flowers. It isn't a good album by Sonic Youth standards or free from the pedigree of Sonic Youth releases. It's not worthy of the listen or the money.

I haven't even heard a Sonic Youth album. But 14? Damn, I don't think I want to.

They're very prolific, but considering they've been recording since 1982, why is this surprising? Moreover, why would you deny yourself one of the best bands of the last twenty years because they've accumulated a large catalogue? Listen to Daydream Nation, at the very least.

Yeah, I get it. I just don't feel like 14 albums. I'll listen to one at least.

Daydream Nation is one of the best albums of the '80s.

Cool. I'll get it now since my external hard drive finally started working again.
