He has also participated in many solo and group collaborations outside Sonic Youth, as well as running the Ecstatic Peace! record label. Moore was ranked 34th in ''Rolling Stone''s 2004 edition of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."〔() 〕 In May 2012, ''Spin'' published a staff-selected top 100 ranking Moore and his Sonic Youth bandmate Lee Ranaldo together on number 1. In 2012, Moore started a new band Chelsea Light Moving, with their first track, "Burroughs", released as a free download. Chelsea Light Moving's eponymous debut was released on March 5, 2013. ==Early years== Moore was born in Coral Gables, Florida, but was raised in Bethel, Connecticut.〔Dixon, Ken, "Music Hall of Fame proposed for state", article in ''Connecticut Post'' in Bridgeport, Connecticut, April 26, 2007 ("Thurston Moore, leader of alt-rock legends Sonic Youth, who grew up in Bethel")〕 Although he enrolled at Western Connecticut State University, he instead moved to New York City to join the burgeoning post-punk/no wave music scenes.〔Azerrad, Michael. ''Our Band Could Be Your Life''. New York: Little, Brown, 2001〕 It was here the he was able to watch shows by the likes of Patti Smith and spoken-word performances by William S. Burroughs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Burroughs at 100: Thurston Moore on seeing him watch Patti Smith at CBGB, his response to Kurt Cobain's suicide and 'cut-up' songwriting – The Collected Works of Kevin EG Perry )〕 At the beginning of his time in New York, he lived in an apartment below artist Dan Graham, eventually befriending him, sometimes using records from Graham's collection for mix tapes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/journal/hc-by-thurston-moore-mixtape/ )〕 Once in the city, Moore was briefly a member of the hardcore punk band Even Worse, featuring future ''The Big Takeover'' editor (and future Springhouse drummer) Jack Rabid. After exiting the band, Moore and Lee Ranaldo learned experimental guitar techniques in Glenn Branca's "guitar orchestras."〔 Moore has spoken about influences on his music tastes at this time, including British bands Wire, the Pop Group, the Raincoats, the Slits, and Public Image Ltd ("I used to have these fantasies in the 70s about leaving New York and coming to London to hang out with Public Image").〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://soundcloud.com/dave-8-2/thurston-moore-2 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thurston Moore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
