With which of these musical sounds is the seminal indie-rock band Sonic Youth most associated?

Stop any hipster indie-rock fan on the street and ask them to name the most important album in history; chances are good the answer will be Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation (1988). Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon dripped cool from every pore and enjoyed a long reign as the King and Queen of New York's downtown art-rock scene. The band's trailblazing use of dissonance, guitar feedback, and alternate tunings had an immense influence on the nascent alternative and indie rock movements.
