I think certain lazy journalists tend to use Sonic Youth as shorthand for 'feedback-drenched-pummelling-skronk-rock', which is only half of the story. If those jerkoffs actually let their ears do the listening they'd see the beauty contained within the sonic canon. So yep, all the songs mentioned. Love Kotton Krown (although I was disappointed that only Thurston sings it when playing it live), Candle, Expressway to yr Skull, Diamond Sea, Sugar Kane etc etc.
