Sonic Youth’s 1990 major label debut wasn’t just a game-changer for the NYC experimentalists, but a milemarker for alternative music’s impending rise outside of the underground. The much-acclaimed follow-up to Daydream Nation was still rife with radical alternate tunings, spacey tone journeys and noise-drilling anti-rock, yet Goo is simultaneously a more immediate, punchy and awesomely engageable collection within Sonic Youth’s expressive catalogue — and comes filled with classics like “Dirty Boots” and the Chuck D-assisted anti-misogyny anthem, “Kool Thing.” Goo is an essential alt-rock listen, tailor-made to spin on classic black wax.
