its difficult.
i'd be inclined to go for their more mainstream stuff like 100%, kool thing etc, but then that isn't really (in my eyes) and introduction to sonic youth...
into the groove(y)
becuz
mary christ
schizophrenia
halloween? not sure about that
if i was getting someone into SY i would like to give them an impression of what they're actually like rather than easing them in, you now what i mean? i don't know if it would work though. i did get a friend into SY by making her a mixtape of a bunch of stuff, but she was a) already into some quite weird stuff anyway, and b) i think she would have liked whatever i put on that cd, so its kinda irrelevant.
it definitely depends on the person. i haven't met anyone who i think wouldn't like ANY sonic youth songs, and so whoever it was you could probably tailor 5 songs to their taste and lead them in from there...
