I was wondering this last night when I was listening to Bad Moon Rising, the band described it as their 'Americana' album, profiling American society in 1985. Certain tracks like Society is A Hole do go a long way to explaining this, whilst others bare apparently no relation to these grandiose themes.
If Sonic Youth adopted the typically punk-rock scorn of stadium prog acts like Pink Floyd and Genesis, surely they'd want to steer away from this. However, if anyone gives a flying turtle fuck what Ben Weasel thinks, Sonic Youth and their fellow No-Wavers were punk-rocks answer to prog rock. What do you guys think?
