This might be the best take away of this exercice (listening to 1000+ albums I apparently should listen to before I die, hopefuly later than sooner): Sonic Youth. I do love everything I've heard from them so far. This might be a tad bit more experimental than Goo, Daydream Nation and Dirty, but it's so good. Full of ideas, full of sounds, full of anger, full of live.
Post punk, pre-grunge and completely different to just about everything else happening in 1987. In a weird bit of synchronicity, I found out the track Schizophrenia was inspired by Philip K Dick, just after I finished reading The Man in the High Castle yesterday. It’s very fitting - the album manages to be cerebral and sonically challenging - this is definitely one I’ll be returning to.
