However, wider public un awareness of its significance still seems to cast it as a cult classic, one for the musos and nerds, rather than an iron-clad great like Exile On Main St. As well as being a milestone for Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley as artists, being their first unqualified masterpiece, it was also a landmark moment for American indie, the point at which an underground phenomenon, existing on a network of spatially distant and separate scenes began to coalesce into something greater.
Artistically speaking, the enduring achievement of Daydream Nation is that it managed to take musical tendencies that usually interact in direct competition with each other and place them together, without entirely resolving the inherent tension between them. Its songs were sprawling and complex in the same way as progressive rock, but nevertheless retained the energy and vigour of punk rock. Its dreamy, light-touch production lent it some of the surreal aura of psychedelia, yet Sonic Youth could also open all the channels and rock hard, giving it the social realism of the best art-punk and post-hardcore statements.
