The notion that "it can't be good if it's not on MTV" deafened the ears of too many American listeners in the 1980's and early 1990's. These years were filled with independent, creative rock voices - none more important, influential, and enduring than Sonic Youth. Finding a path between punk, post-punk, and new wave, Sonic Youth harnessed the power of feedback and wed it to melody and great songwriting. Don't miss their greatest albums: "Evol", "Sister," "Daydream Nation", "Goo", and "Dirty." "Rapture" from "Rather Ripped" (2006) captures the thrill of Sonic Youth's start-stop dynamics, melodic lyrics, and integration of feedback as an essential element of music making.
