Sonic youth - Daydream nation (Full Album)

Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation has been added to the permanent archives of the National Recording Registry for a reason. It's a brilliant album and one of the best of its generation and genre.

[@dragmio]

Yeah, and the reason is it's closest to the mainstream and the least SY album of all SY albums. Let them add Evol or Kill Your Idols if they have the balls.

[@TETCOM.]

[@filmfredrik]

@@dragmio Come on, every album they did after Daydream are all more mainstream-friendly.

[@dragmio]

@@TETCOM. That's because you haven't heard any of the other Sonic Youth albums.

[@dragmio]

@@filmfredrik No they're not. Only "Rather Ripped" is. Even "Kool Thing" is more off and original than "Teenage Riot" or "Silver Rocket". Maybe you're too young so you don't know, but I can tell you that there were literary hundreds of bands with songs like "Silver Rocket" and when "Kool Thing" came out, people couldn't believe what they're hearing. Of course, such people dismissed the rest of the "Goo" right away. But no one dismissed "Silver Rocket". It was run of the mill alternative rock back then.

I was a really shitty kid and spent the entirety of my freshman year of high school grounded and all but locked inside my room. This was one of two albums I owned for the duration of those seven months and I listened to it, shit, 500 times, easy? And adding on the number of times I've listened to it in the intervening DECADES... I dare say I could hear any part of this backwards and from the moon and recognize it without a moment's hesitation. I'm over the city, fucking the future.

Never before or after would Sonic Youth -or any other band- synthesize the urgency of punk, the abrasion of noise, and the beauty of pop into such a monumental whole as in Daydream Nation.

[@dragmio]

Yeah. I listen to SY because I like pop, sure. No SY fan could care less about pop, and punk is quite the opposite to noise. We all know what SY does the best and it sure as hell ain't covering tripe such as Nic Fit.

Patrick Hawley no need to be passive aggressive, i didn't mean to offend you. anyway, just enjoy the music matey

[@dancorcoran7883]

Patrick Hawley why did you actively avoid sonic youth btw?

[@patrickbryanthawley]

I prefer my dissonance a little less determinedly rhythmic than what I had heard. Just a personal preference. And because I had avoided them, I was unaware of the melody they seem able to drag out of the wall of sound they create.

[@DaveLampton]

Their sixth album, released in 1988, Daydream Nation was my first Sonic Youth album, and still my favorite today. When this album came out it changed my life. I have seen them live seven times beginning 8/21/1990 (with an unknown at the time, Nirvana opening up). I recorded a high quality bootleg of their live Berkeley, CA performance of Daydream Nation beginning to end, on 7/19/2007.

[@chadocon168]

Did you upload it anywhere!? Id love to hear it. This is also my favorite album, and my favorite band!

[@stronkman9157]

Dave Lampton show us the god damn bootleg.

[@umbungo501]

Mine too, pure genius

[@vongustadolf]

You ought to post that recording somehow, don't you think? It'll be worthwhile to listen to it, my personal opinion.

[@PaulWildstar]

A crucial piece of Music History is in your hands...

[@lauraalta]

Listened to this countless times as a teenager

[@megzdubv2950]

I can’t tell yinz how many nights I slept to this CD 💿 on repeat and how many sweet dreams came from it

[@jean-frederic-pascalgoddar9801]

I listen to this album every time I forget who I am and it reminds me

[@dds4585]

THIS. this exactly dude

[@saturnreturn3889]

[@MsStorto]

Best Album Ever. Miglior Album di tutti i tempi.

[@philiparcher5963]

Listened to this,in my neighbour's house,while he was away...ah well,he gave me the keys,to water his plants...I played it very LOUD for the first track.Vinyl sounds great!

[@Signal_in_the_noise]

+Philip Archer NEVER FUCK WITH A MANS VINYL WITHOUT ASKING. YOU COMMITTED THE CARDINAL SIN Sentence = DEATH

[@stevendiaz3206]

+Kyle Donaldson golden rule right here.

[@MarcoBeatles]

This album is divine... I've just met Lee Ranaldo in Venice! He's is really friendly, an outgoing guy... i've been glad to meet you, maestro!

[@dragmio]

This album has the least Lee in it. It has more Jay Mascis than him.

[@filmfredrik]

Lee is great! Chatted with him for quite some time at the Stockholm Spoken Word Festival when he performed there. Daydream Nation probably has his best stuff with 3 "Lee-songs": Eric's Trip, Hey Joni and (my favourite) Rain King!

[@vasvas8914]

@@filmfredrik yes! Lee tracks are my favourite from DN. Rain king is so haunting, Eric trip is a non-stop headbanger and Hey Joni is a guitar hurricane!

[@kepler3908]

One of the top 10 albums ever recorded. Fact.

[@ludwigfeuerbach]

I had an advance cassette copy of DN courtesy of Enigma Canada and saw them play it live in Toronto at the Diamond before it was released. Almost nobody in the venue knew the album, which SY proceeded to play practically back to front. IT BLEW EVERYONE AWAY. It became a classic before it dropped ...

[@ceedasun6148]

...swaying in that, most wonderful noise ever!!!

[@The_Salazarius]

2022. E continua sendo um álbum magnífico.

[@blisterpacman]

I remember hearing this when I was 15 and at 28 now that opening is still one of the strongest intros to an album I've ever heard

[@HatchMediaWorks]

pure joy for hyper trance love

[@itsjonathangray]

Behold... the greatest album of the 1980s! 🎸🎸🎸

[@internetsurvivor]

Happy Birthday, Daydream Nation!

[@clawspace]

So glad I was able to discover this in high school out of all the 100s of thousands of albums I could've delved into this set me on a path of great music

[@jojo-gy9pp]

First time i drove some friends too a party in 1995 I cranked up the trilogy and we rode without words. Upon arrival they said, "What the hell was that?". Tool fans Primus fans cannot understand a beautiful noise. It grows on you. It solves your crazy thoughts. It brings peace.

[@Leo-qe3gl]

Thanks for the anecdote. Tool, Primus AND Sonic youth Fan here 🙋‍♂️. You are right. It really brings peace.

[@dannyv8483]

"Providence" consists of a piano solo by Moore recorded at his mother's house using a Walkman, the sound of a Peavey Roadmaster amp overheating and a pair of telephone messages left by Mike Watt, calling for Moore from a Providence, Rhode Island payphone, dubbed over one another.

[@juliocarloz7839]

Punk alternative forever!

[@MrG75]

I haven't listened to this album in 20 years, it still sounds amazing

[@vartanovichtigran1816]

Best album in Rock History?

[@sergioarias6121]

This is fucking big. One of my sacred albums.

[@SeanWatsonR]

My favorite album of all time.

[@Leo-qe3gl]

Whats second?
