In the year 1980, Thurston Moore embarked on a musical journey by forming the iconic band Sonic Youth, taking on the roles of lead guitarist and singer. Alongside him were Kim Gordon, the talented bassist and vocalist, and Lee Ranaldo, the skilled lead guitarist and vocalist.
As the band's debut album, "Sonic Youth", was released in 1981, it garnered significant attention for its innovative use of feedback in music. This groundbreaking approach paved the way for their subsequent releases, including the highly acclaimed albums "Sister", "Daydream Nation" in 1988, "Goo" in 1990, and "Dirty" in 1992, among others.
These albums had a profound impact on the music scene, inspiring notable bands such as Nirvana, Pavement, and Radiohead. By the year 1998, Sonic Youth had released an impressive 14 albums, with their latest offering, "a thousand leaves", receiving widespread critical acclaim.
On a personal note, Thurston Moore tied the knot with Kim Gordon in 1983, and their daughter, Coco Gordon-Moore, was born in 1994. Moore has been widely regarded as the world's most innovative and greatest guitarist, with Sonic Youth often being hailed as the greatest guitar band in history.
In addition to his musical accomplishments, Moore has been open about his experimentation with cannabis and LSD in the past, although he has since abandoned his use of drugs and tobacco.
