2009 Notable Album- The Eternal by Sonic Youth

Malibu Gas Station- Sonic Youth The bad news is that Sonic Youth got sacked by their major label, "Goofin' Records" after a 20 year stint. The good news is Sonic Youth's first album on the venerable indie label Caroline is better than all of their albums with Goofin'. In fact you'd have to reach back 21 years to Daydream Nation to find Sonic Youth playing with more commitment. finesse, clarity and vision as they are playing with on this year's The Eternal. For all their flaws our favorite musical subversives have never lost their bearings in the dark sea of musical dreck we call pop music. Give a listen to Malibu Gas Station and you'll know why Sonic Youth is still important to musical malcontents everywhere.
