Thurston Moore is a guitarist most known for his work with Sonic Youth who has introduced guitar sounds and strange techniques that have changed the sound of music. He is recognized for using drumsticks among other strange items to produce new sounds, introducing the world to alternate tunings to the rock guitar, and being known for bringing over 50 guitars to each live show, using some for exclusively one song. Although the work of Sonic Youth remains extremely unrecognized, it is apparent why Moore was ranked #34 in Rolling Stones 2004 edition of “100 Best Guitarists of All Time” and #1 on the 2012 staff-selected top 100 in pairing with his Sonic Youth bandmate Lee Ranaldo.
