The first time I heard Sonic Youth was when they opened for Pearl Jam a couple years back.  I’ll always remember that the first song I heard of theirs that really stuck with me was “Pink Steam” off Rather Ripped.  Because of this, I think I became fonder of Sonic Youth’s newer work instead of the fan-proclaimed classics like Goo.  But of course Daydream Nation takes the crown over anything released after the turn of the millennium…
