The Greatest Music
Dirty
by Sonic Youth
The 634th greatest album of all time
Dirty is Sonic Youth's 1992 album that blends the band's noise rock and experimental guitar work with tighter, more direct song structures drawn from alternative rock and grunge. Produced by Butch Vig, the record pairs abrasive, feedback-laden textures and alternate tunings with concise, hard-edged songs like "100%" and "Sugar Kane", making it a high-energy, polished entry in the band's major-label period that still emphasizes dissonance and sonic experimentation.
