And yes I am very late about that. I got into the early nineties music and riot grrl and grunge and hole when I was 12 but Sonic Youth didn't click right away. I thought they were like those other bands but was I off. Four years later, I bought Trees Outside the Academy, fell in love with it, and that ushered me into the album "Washing Machine" and I totally understand the appeal. And I totally dig it! I haven't stopped listening to Tunic and Cinderella's Big Score for a WEEK.
And now I have found this lovely board
So yeah for Sonic Youth!
