^^A masterpiece is a masterpiece. With that logic, who care's that Sonic Youth put out something as gnarly as Evol, who care's that The Stooges inspired them, who cares about anything anyone's ever done?
Who care's how hard noise rock is.
Who care's how angry a band is?
Who care's how many instruments can be on one song?
Who care's how fast and crazy a song is?
Who care's how unique a band is?
The drug use/pop band thing is because until then, everyone did exactly as they were told, no matter how fucked up their private life was.
How bout this, they were one of the first bands to start writing their own songs in mainstream.
Of course they are ovverrated when they get labeled "The best band of all time" by stuffy critics.
And you must have missed my point about comparing sonic youth and the beatles if you think that I think everything they did was a revelation.
