Is this the end of Sonic Youth?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I can see them still working together, but who knows... they were like the dream couple of rock music, to me at least :|

...and I thought his last solo album was basically a love poem to Kim.

Not with you on this Bartek, Sonic Youth were very influential and never thought of them as being a copy of another band... the other way around, yes... ;)

You obviously haven't listened to enough Yoof Bart.
They are very unique - I can't hear any other band when I listen to Daydream Nation, Goo, Dirty or Murray St. They defy genre and pidgeonhole.

They have consistently dared to push the artistic boundaries, so basically you're wrong. ;D

Jeeez, Bartek what a weird thing to say: to call a band that released 20 albums copycats and all that based on the one or two albums you once heared... Tssss :twisted:

Good thing Iz & the Don are so diplomatic. ;D :wink:
