This week we're discussing every album by Sonic Youth from 1982 - 1992. Made up of core members Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley, Sonic Youth are easily one of the most influential, as well as one of the most eclectic rock bands of all time. This era of the band covers all of their early years, including the vast majority of their most beloved albums. Incidentally, they're also a band Alex and Mike can't agree on to save their lives.
