Goo

Sonic Youth
Released 1990Alternative & Indie
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A sharp, accessible major-label peak of melodic noise. Bold and beloved. A high point. Released in 1990, it's a key entry in Sonic Youth's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
