Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I bought this album in the summer of 1989 when I discovered sonic youth and listened to it non-stop. I had listened to a lot of indie music coming out of the UK and a lot of older punk from NY and Cali.
Daydream Nation remains my favourite Sonic Youth album, but possibly because it was my first. I think it has stood the test of time. My kids listen to it now and love it.
I saw them live in 91 (supported by Nirvana) and I still have shivers when I think about it. I was 18 that summer and it was my first out-of-town gig and it just blew me away. I've seen them live maybe 20 times since and though they never disappoint, it's hard to match that small gig with 300 people. My ears rang for days afterwards.
That is really awesome. I love that you got your kids into it too. Thanks for sharing!
