Anyone who seriously thinks that they can play in a good band by just sitting down and talking about it without playing their instruments first is a seriously misguided person. I can't see many people delivering any goods if they just sit down 'imagining' what it's like to play an instrument or 'theorising' shit all the time that ultimately doesn't translate into good records/ live gigs etc.
I'm surprised Sonic Youth get lumped into the 'music theory' thing, since, by their own admission, they have never been one of those bands to just sit down and decide to make music. They just did and took it from there.
