As a fan of Sonic Youth and this album in particular, I gotta ask... Why are there FOUR Sonic Youth albums (so far) on this list? It's not like they changed their sound or direction at any point. It's Noise Rock, not the most accessible genre on the market. If someone doesn't like "Goo", are they in any way likely to enjoy this one? There's a far greater chance that it would push them away, much like how my hatred of Morrissey grows every time he pops up here (which seems to be almost weekly). I have not read the source material book, so I'm unable to read The Author's rationale for including multiple entries from the same artist. It seems to me that he obsesses over certain artists to the exclusion of others that deserve a listen.
