[kj] O/T The Most Overrated Album In The World....Ever

[ade]

Anyone would think that Sonic Youth INVENTED the whole alternative thing.
Derivative dullness...

I'm actually going to agree with Oliver here (forsaking my NYC roots for a
mo') -- Sonic Youth are slavishly overrated, and haven't *REALLY* done
anything that great since maybe DAYDREAM NATION (and even *THAT* isn't
necessarily worth its salt).

I much prefer their peers in Pussy Galore & Swans (to say nothing of Cop
Shoot Cop).

Ale xin NYC
