The only truly great songs on here imo but I was never much of a Lee fan. I vastly prefer their Bad Moon Rising through Sister era.
Adrian Morgan
Trilogy is honestly pretty underrated.
Grayson Rivera
how can you not like lee?
how can you not like HEY JONI?
Chase Lewis
Teenage Riot is the only song I can remember... I ain't listened to this album since I was 13... I'm 28 now
Christian Long
I listened to this 2 years ago and Teenage Riot is all I can remember. I think it's an album remembered more for its general atmosphere and tone than for containing a lot of good songs
Elijah Jenkins
how is that even possible?
why would you go your whole 20s with no sonic youth?
is that what zoomers do?
Levi Rogers
I think Lee's tracks are criminally underrated, I like Eric's Trip and Rain King a ton. The only one of his that is generally well liked is Hey Joni.
I agree that its praised largely for the general atmosphere, and that's got to do with the sprawling nature of the songs. However I've got to disagree, I think it's their best album as far as songwriting is concerned.
You don't like Silver Rocket or Hey Joni even. Also you listed like half of the songs on the album, so I'd say that's pretty solid.

shit
I need to go listen to rain king again
been awhile.
gonna look up their full day dream performances . . .
Cooper Brooks
Disc 1: 10/10. Literally, all tracks are killers, no second is wasted, masterpiece
Disc 2: 8/10. I never liked songs like Kissability or Rain King that much. Hyperstation and Candle, fantastic songs
Really a masterpiece of alt rock, in conclusion
Benjamin Hernandez
Hudson Bailey

Nolan Wilson

Aaron Davis
I FUCKING LOVE DAYDREAM NATION! It's been one of my favorite albums for many years now. The guitars are very meticulously arranged, especially with all the alternate tunings, there's just so much to listen to. I hear something new every time.
I feel like this album does everything prog rock was trying to do, but only succeeded once or twice (Close to the Edge, Crimson King, etc.) where you have a rock album that feels like a neoclassical symphony. In this case, exactly the kind of symphony that urban America needed, one that accurately reflects the confusion and claustrophobia of dirty East coast cities like New York and Baltimore. This was everything Branca dreamed of and more, punk taken to it's breaking point, a masterpiece in pre music- that is, music made for no other purpose than to capture the geographic area that bore it.
Gabriel Brown
The logical conclusion of the New York punk scene.
Carter Green
sonic bump
Mason Lewis

Lincoln Rivera
Sonic Youth is simply the greatest rock band of all-time
