I have a book published in 1999 called "Listen to This!", in which musicians recommend their favorite artists and recordings. Thurston was interviewed for it, and he hits on a lot of these same bands (including Beatles, VU and Stooges) and some other stuff too, including lots of poppy records.
Full list:
The Kingsmen - "Louie, Louie" and "Haunted Castle"
The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request
The Beatles - The Beatles and Abbey Road
Grand Funk Railroad - s/t
Alice Cooper - Killer
The Stooges - everything
Can - Ege Bamyasi
Amon Duul, II - Phallus Dei
Velvet Underground - everything
Saccharine Trust - Pagan Icons
The Minutemen - Paranoid Time
Meat Puppets - s/t, Up on the Sun
Black Flag - Damaged
Redd Kross - Born Innocent
Various artists - Flex Your Head
Dinosaur Jr. - Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me
