I would say start with 'Dirty' then move on to 'Sonic Nurse' and then of course you will be able to appreciate their signature 'Daydream Nation' album (coolest album cover ever!). Don't touch the early stuff, at least not until your are truely versed in SY's sound and style. If I had got 'Sonic Youth', 'Confusion is Sex' or 'Bad Mood Rising' as start off albums (as brilliant as they are) I would probebly not have gotten into sonic youth! Same goes for the SYR series!
