TOP TWENTY RECORDS (as chosen by the Sonic Youth Forum)

After years of deliberation and argument and yelling and shouting and fighting and insulting, a sonic Saint, Demonrail666 over at the Sonic Youth Gossip Forum, decided to take a survey of everyone's top records. He asked each board member to send him their list of their 5 GREATEST RECORDS EVER! Of course this list is severely skewed by the weird tastes of most Sonic Youth fanatics.
