Overview:
Daydream Nation is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth. It was recorded between July and August 1988 at Greene St. Recording, New York City, and released in October 1988, through Enigma Records.

Their first official double album, and their last before signing to a major label, Daydream Nation was a critical success that earned Sonic Youth substantial acclaim and a major label deal. The album was ranked high in critics' year-end albums lists for 1988 and was voted second on The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop poll. Several promotional singles were released from the album, the first being "Teen Age Riot", which charted on Billboard's newly created Modern Rock Tracks chart at number 20.

The album is widely considered to be the band's best work, and an influence on the alternative and indie rock genres. It was chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Recording Registry in 2005.
