    For some reason I used to give more attention to Thurston, probably just because he presents himself that way - but Lee is the real icon.

      It's interesting to see their work now that they are solo artists and what they each brought to the band. Personally I prefer Lee's albums over Thurston's but I like the both.

      All of them are icons. Without thurston’s guitar playing SY would sound like a complete different band. Both are two of the most original guitarists in the history of rock music. They completed each other.

    Much as I love Thurston, Lee has always been my favorite SY guy. Cracks me up to see him buying No New York. I'd figure everyone in the band has heard it a million times, but then, it doesn't really get old.

    I had the pleasure of being stuck in a Post Office line with Lee many years ago when I lived in NYC and got to talk with him for about 15 minutes or so about music and touring. This was when the WTC was still standing (I worked in Building 5) and Sonic Youth had their studio not too far away (Thurston also stopped in my store but I didn't get to talk to him other than to thank him for coming in). Pretty nice guy; I miss that band.

A friend and I were sitting at the table with Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore once and Lee asked me what I had in my bag. It was an LP from The Wipers.

Myind blown, ears forever altered. Thurson said thanks for coming and signed the lp card/poster. Lee did too but was also smiling and nicer. He also signed the poster "Goo to you. Lee."

    Lee’s comment about the people on the back of No New York looking as if they came out of an insane asylum to me summed up that era out the punk scene in general. My first encounter with punks here in Hollywood just blew my mind! They looked absolutely psycho … and threatened to cut off my long hair! But instead of detesting them I wanted to know more about them. Within months I cut my own hair off and was going to as many shows as I could. Simply because I had never seen or heard anything so different from what was “normal”. And you were instantly labeled a weirdo for admiring punk. Sign me up!
