two more
Back in '90 or '91, I went to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse on the "Ragged Glory" tour. He had two bands opening for him on this tour. The first was Social Distortion, who played a really bland mix of country, rockabilly, and punk. I wasn't into it at all. The next band was Sonic Youth, who was stunning. I became a Sonic Youth fan because of that. Of course, Neil just blew them both away.
Later (probably '93 or '94) I saw Sonic Youth and a band called The Boredoms opened. I know a lot of people revere them, but they were just too loud and too noisy for my tastes. Heavy pointless guitar rambling, "pots and pans" style drumming, a DJ scribbling all over everything, and 2 (!) "vocalists" screaming out of tune - different things simultaneously - in Japanese (I think). Then after every song saying "f--k you very much."
I'm not a fan.
