As for why I was drawn to Sonic Youth during this period of my life, the reason comes down to horniness: a pubescent tale as old as time. There’s a practical reason why my exposure to Sonic Youth is so limited, EJSTNS came out during the brief period of my life when rock surpassed hip-hop as my primary music genre. Most of those songs are the closest Sonic Youth gets to hits, except for “Shaking Hell” but I’ll get to why it’s on the list in a little bit. Despite this deep catalog, my version of Sonic Youth’s discography has two albums:Įxperimental Jet Set, Thrash, and No Star, herein referred to as EJSTNSĪdditionally, they recorded the following seven songs:Ī cover of “Superstar,” by The Carpenters For starters, they have 16 studio albums and 9 EPs spanning three decades. Sonic Youth is the perfect example of the type of discography I’m looking to revisit. For 2023 I decided to once again shoot for 365 albums, but with a bit more focus: I want to revisit bands that I know and appreciate, primarily from my youth/teenage years, and listen to their entire discography from beginning to end as an adult in my forties. It was fun, and I picked up some new favorites, but I don’t really feel like I learned anything. From there I would chase styles and periods I wasn’t very familiar with, ask for recommendations around a theme, or track new album reviews on various sites. There was no direction, I would google a combination of “best” “albums of”, or “most underrated”, or “forgotten,” or something similar. Over the course of 2022, I listened to 365 new-to-me albums.
