Sister is not like that. That's the album I think about when I think of Sonic Youth. And ATL is the kind of record I can play any time. Day after day.
Bad Moon Rising and Goo probably round out the top 5. But the order always changes. Except for #1 and #2. Those are always Sister and ATL. In some ways I think A Thousand Leaves is the perfect Sy album, in that in contains practically every element of their sound in a way the popular favorites like Murray Street don't, despite being also great records.
But I drink your milkshake, so...

My order is still:
1. Sister
2. EVOL
3. ATL
4. Washing Machine
Rest albums are equally great, but Experimental is least favourite, but even that is greater than 99 % albums I´ve heard.
