Not to brag but I am a very good album

I listened to this album non-stop after I quit doing drugs and alcohol. The music some how inspired me to stay the course. Now I'm going on 2 years clean and sober. It has a special emotional value to me.

takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed rn :-(

Sonic Youth is literally the band that every band wants to be. Their first 15 years are perfect. From Sister to Dirty, there's amazing songs all the way through their discography. If you can't tell, SY is my favorite band.

R.I.P. Glenn Branca, without you, SY may not have the courage and creativity to create this masterpiece.

never clicked so hard

that cross the breeze riff man... ooooh i come everytiem

Do Corey Feldman´s "Angelic 2 the Core: Funkadelic/Rockadelic"

Siamese dream, would be a good one.

Joy division unknown pleasures next please

One of my brother's friends randomly gave me this on cd when I was 14. 15 years later it stands as a solid top 5 of all time for me.

I love this album but why no one talks about the bad moon rising It's an exciting expermiental album.

This is my favorite album EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really wanted a Liner Notes of this album (or any other SY)

The outro of cross the breeze is fucking amazing

As Sonic Youth fanatic, i have to say well done on the video, I haven't stumbled across something about this band i didn't know in a while. Great album and great video.

Talking Heads' "Remain in Light" please

YESSSS its that time of the month we get liner notes

One of my favorite albums of ALL TIME

I would love to see Refused's Shape of Punk to Come done like this, such an amazing album!!

Wish there was a full Pitchfork classic for this one, without a doubt, one of my favorite records of all time!

Yessssss, now we just need The Microphones: The glow Pt 2, & the Dismemberment plan: Emergency & I

Slanted and enchanted

HOLY FUCK, I jizzed my pants when I saw this in my feed

Can you do Siamese dream or Pinkerton?

Do Husker Du's Zen Arcade or anything by Fugazi.

It took me many repeated listens before I finally understood and loved this album. I assume that when people firstly discover Sonic Youth they play Teen Age Riot and Silver Rocket over and over. That’s what I did anyway 😂. I loved the Silver Rocket chord progression and how it felt kind of like like a Pixies song off Surfer Rosa. I wouldn’t listen to the other songs on the album for ages after this initial discovery. I just didn’t like how unorganised and long the songs on the rest of the album were. For some reason like six months later I came back to the album and discovered the other “catchy” songs like Candle, Hey Joni and Kissability. I was getting closer to appreciating the album as a whole. Then I left it for ages again... no listens until pretty recently where I decided to burn a copy of the album and have it in my car as a CD. And it was in the car where I finally “got it”. Repeated listens make the longer songs more memorable and once you have the tunes locked inside your head everything just becomes so much better. My advice, listen to the album on repeat in the car 😜. My favourite song is now Cross the Breeze. Seeing that live must be bloody nuts. Edit: spelling

Sonic Youth redefined what great sound is

Do Beck's Odelay or Bowie's Low next!

The Avalanches' Since I Left You next!

Keep making these videos, They're so good.

I've been waiting patiently for this...

So happy I found these. Great stuff

Persistently astounding album

i find it really funny that this was posted the day after I really started getting into Sonic Youth. love this series

One of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. 10/10

one of the best albums ever . love .

Their best album of the 80s, which is saying something massive, but I don't know if I consider it their best album tbh. If it is their best, it's a tie best. It's definitely in their top 2-3. Maybe #2. Okay, it's their best. After "Washing Machine" that is. Fuck it, it's their best album. I think. Maybe. I don't know.

Such a legendary yet underrated album

These are too good and too short Pitchfork, I need more !!!!

One of my favorite bands (or albums) of all time

Fuck yes

Rites of Spring’s Self Titled in 5 minutes

Great series!

The Chameleons Script of the Bridge would be awesome!

my favorite album ♥

Fugazi (any album) in 5 minutes

Awesome!!!

That's it, i love you.

Glenn Branca's - The Ascension next pls

the unicorns who will cut our hair when were gone

I feel fortunate that I've seen them live twice.

Classic.

Yes !

I kind of feel like Kim Gordon's roll was underplayed in the video regarding Sonic youth's sound. She was easily the most artistically literate and most likely the driving force behind going into a genre bending direction. I feel like Moore just wanted to be a rock star.

Unknown Pleasures next, please !

Harvest or After the Gold Rush or On the Beach?

Fucking love this album. Please do London Calling!

hell yes

I just watched a movie called daydream nation and now I think it’s about these people because all the names line up

❤

Feels by Animal Collective please

Such a classic...I'd love to see Funeral by Arcade Fire in 5 min.

I just fell in love with this thing a week ago. Anyway if you love music like this, check out Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Slint's Spiderland, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. These are all different kinds of music, but they're all fantastic albums. Aeroplane the best out of all of them though.

Hounds of Love would be amazing!

Murray Street is my favorite. Washing machine is also incredible.

Screeeeeeeeeaming. SY forever

still a great album, but Sister was the real turning point! and maybe their best

At 2:21, what guitar is Ranaldo using? Looks kinda unfamiliar to me.

all the 3 LP sides *"fade out"* and the final side comes to *an abrupt stop*

Isnt Ian MacKaye in the video for Teenage Riot?

i need a teenage riot, to wake me up right now

Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers L.A.M.F

Please do “Let It Be” by the Replacements!

do klf's "chill out."

I'm probably in the minority that prefers Dirty over Daydream but oh well very good album nonetheless.

I have to agree that Sonic Youth are one of the greatest bands of all time , certainly one of my favourites , from the Bad Moon Rising LP up until the mid 90's they made some of the best music you'll ever hear , one thing I hate tho is Kim Gordon's vocals , all those songs that she ruined with her singing , songs that were musically fantastic and well written only to be spoiled by either her grunting , over exerted 'punk' style delivery or her more subdued and out of tune type delivery , either way it's like taking a razor blade to a great painting or scribbling over one with a marker pen . I understand that dischord and dissonance were an integral part of their overall sound and that's partly why I like them but there are good and bad ways of being dischordent or dissonant and Kim Gordon falls into the bad category . Listen to how good Lydia Lunch sounds on Death Valley 69 and imagine her in place of KG , I think it would have been a vast improvement overall . I would love to hear all the Sonic Youth songs that she sang on remixed either as instrumentals or with Thurston or Lee (or Lydia Lunch) doing the vocals . It's a crime for her to have ruined them in this way ..

Did they mention Providence Hit-Single?

Please do Double nickels on the dime and Zen Arcade

buy glen branca's " the ascension" album!!

Primus' Frizzle Fry would be nice
