Inspired by Stereogum's list,Rank yours y'all.

Mine would be:

1: Goo
2: Sister
3: NYC Ghosts & Flowers
4: Bad Moon Rising
5: Dirty
6: Washing Machine
7: Murray Street
8: Daydream Nation
9: Sonic Youth
10: EVOL
11: The Eternal
12: Rather Ripped
13: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
14: Sonic Nurse
15: A Thousand Leaves
16: Confusion Is Sex

I don't think there is any other band or artist with such a consistently good and large discography,I genuinely like every one of their albums and each offer something different.I must admit that I haven't given a lot of these albums a listen in a few months so the order is a bit suspect,but I'm really excited to listen to all the albums towards the bottom of my list again,see what I missed the first few times around.

I haven't heard all of them, but for the one's I know and have listened to:

1. Daydream Nation
2. Murray Street (underrated later album)
3. Goo
4. Sister
5. Evol
6. Dirty
7. Rather Ripped
8. Washing Machine

These ones I don't like:

9. A Thousand Leaves (Didn't like except for a few songs)
10. Experimental Jet Set (Never made an impression on me. I used to have it, but didn't keep it)
11. NYC Ghosts and Flowers (Listened to once... Meh!)

Is The Eternal good? Never got around to checking out Bad Moon Rising, but I will one of these days.
