I really love the both equally,

Just finished reading Matthew Stearn's '33 1/3 Daydream Nation' book (Thanks to Sonicl). It was interesting but he had a totally different view of the songs to me. So much has been written about Sonic Youth writing 'New-York music' but to me Sonic Youth has always been about wide-open sprawling America. The canyons, death valley, endless suburbs. All there albums up until Goo were driving records, hitting the highway till the sun comes up. The Sprawl and Cross' The Breeze seemed to represent this more than any other songs on DDN.
