Funny, this very topic came up at my friend's Passover gathering the other night.
Somebody said Daydream Nation, I also heard Sonic Nurse (my first SY album), but I recommended Washing Machine to the initiate.
Washing Machine has got a good grab bag of SY styles, from brash (Panty Lies) to tranquil (Saucerlike), and of course it closes with a lengthy nod to their experimental side, as if promising ever noisier pastures. I remember this one getting a lot of play when I first got it a couple years ago.
