Kool Thing is great, but I think Schizophrenia is the quintessential SY tune. Not necessarily the best, but if I could play only one song for someone to show them what SY is about, that would be the one. It incorporates so much of what makes them a great band: dissonance, unusual composition, dense, blurry chordal riffing, soft, beautiful harmonics and both Thurston and Kim on vocals.
