On this day, in October 1988, Sonic Youth released their groundbreaking fifth album Daydream Nation. While it only reached #99 in the UK, the album has since become a critically acclaimed masterpiece in the alternative rock scene. Daydream Nation was a defining moment for Sonic Youth, blending noise rock with more accessible melodies, and tracks like “Teen Age Riot” helped cement the band’s influence on the underground music world.

Do you think Daydream Nation deserved more recognition when it was released, or was it always destined to be a cult classic?
