I saw Sonic Youth at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival a couple of years ago, and they stunk. Completely boring. Too much pot, not enough talent.
Not enough talent? You wouldn't know it if was blasting your ears out.
Sonic Youth were easily one of the top 5 most influential bands of the 80s. Their output in the 90s remained strong, while breaking underground bands into the mainstream. For example, they were instrumental in introducing Nirvana to the hordes of joyous frat boys who don't get exposed to music that isn't played on corporate radio.
PS, they now have a fulltime 5th member in Jim O'Rourke. He's a great musician and producer in his own right (produced Wilco's latest album). SY's 2003 release was a damn fine album. Get some education because your ignorance is on full display.

I saw Sonic Youth on PBS last week. They looked rather old...or maybe thats just the drugs n'stuff. LOL!
They're about 50 years old. They're pretty normal people actually, two of the members are married and have a little girl. They're active in the experimental scene but still enjoy rocking out.

"The Liars" from "the Donnas", will "Erase Errata" of "the Locust" "Sonic Youth"I am a Rock'n Roller since I was born (late '50's), but this is the weirdest bunch I have had ever heard of.
Mind you, we had our crop of weird band names as well (Meat Loaf, Yardbirds, Blood, Sweat and Tears, etc..)
It looks like, it is time join the AARP!

"Not enough talent? You wouldn't know it if was blasting your ears out."
I went to see Sonic Youth with a friend who was a big fan, and he was disapppointed by the show, which consisted of a bunch of long, meandering semi-jazz tunes with no discernible structure. If they had talent, it wasn't on exhibit during that concert. And thanks for the correction on my musical tastes; I'll never again dare to disagree with your expert opinion.

By the way, I can't stand Nirvana either.

No kidding! That guy was in a band called 'Lock Up' in Los Angeles before he slapped that band in the face and joing 'Rage'. Brian Grillo from 'Lock Up' essentially taught Tom Morello how to play the guitar...spent hours upon hours with him to get a style. (Morello sucked for the first year or so.) Morello has no loyalty and certainly no taste in politics. I saw him frequently enter this hole in the wall commie coffee shop up on Sunset Boulevard and spend hours there with his posse. (I freelanced out of an office right near there so I could see everything that went on...:)

Ping!
To: weegee
Not that long ago, I was lamenting that I basically haven't played in a band since finishing grad school.
Suddenly, I feel a whole lot better.
To: weegee
These bands support anarchy and volunteer payments? Fight the system and use a file sharing system. Ironically, I couldn't find any of them on Kazaa.
