Daydream Nation — 1988
Sonic Youth
Released 1988Alternative & Indie
Essential
A double album of tuned-down guitar epics, balancing noise and melody at the band's peak. Sprawling and influential. An alt-rock cornerstone. A 1988 record that fills in the story between the landmarks.
On vinyl: The original pressing is often easy to find second-hand in good condition.
