One of the most essential alt rock artists of all time. They were exactly what they wanted to be, and that is one of the most powerful and inspiring things I'll ever know. They never may have been the most mainstream band, but they didn't have to be for people to recognize their brilliance.
Sure, I had heard "Dark Side of the Moon" and I understood that music could be art, but I never knew "Fuck you, I don't have to be what you want me to be" could be art, and nobody portrayed that better than Sonic Youth. Not that I didn't before, but they were proof that it wasn't over. I owe so much to this band, if it weren't for their unique guitar-art style, I never would've appreciated music as art the way I do now. Throughout their career, Sonic Youth consistently found new ways to make their weird guitars sound more and more different record after record, they've truly taken the instrument to places I could never have imagined before I'd heard them. As a guitarist, almost everything in Sonic Youth's catalog has constantly inspired me to find new, creative ways of doing things, something they did better than anyone else. Their unique use of guitar instrumentation is something that simply can't ever be fully redone, and I think that's why their my favorite band. Their sound was simply one that can never be replicated. The more time goes on, the harder and harder it gets for me to put my love for this band into words. Pascal Comelade / Ramon Prats / Lee Ranaldo.
