Thurston Moore on five songs that influenced him early in his career

Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore chose five songs that influenced him while he was a young musician in NYC in the late 1970s. It's 'Lesson No. 1 for Electric Guitar' by Glenn Branca, 'In My Eyes' by Minor Threat, 'Too Many Creeps' by Bush Tetras, 'Man Ah Warrior' by Tapper Zukie, and, finally, as he told Rolling Stone, Patti Smith's 'Godspeed' because - "It was less straight-ahead and fist-in-the-air kind of Patti Smith style, and it seemed almost improvised. It’s a very heavy song, very evocative, very strange, and very spiritual. It sounds like it was done in the middle of the night with the lights off. It’s not a very verse/chorus/verse/chorus song, and hearing it was very formative to me because of that approach.”
