Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - White Album Turns 40 This Year, NPR takes Deeper Look at Album

dazedcola · 12.01.2008, 10:21 PM

The greatest album from the greatest band turns 40 this year and it's influence as only grown larger over the years. Its hard to think of a record back then (or even today) that's as diverse and is so rewarding upon multiple listens. "Helter Skelter" is still one of the hardest songs that was ever recorded pointing far ahead for punk and heavy metal.

NPR is also doing a special this week about how the album came together, check it out -------> http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=97391032

So to keep this a continuing thread, discuss your favorite song or what you think is the most important/influential
