All of them. That isn't meant to be smart assed either.
My favorite is Leaves Turn Inside You, but that is them at their highest maturity as a band.
My second favorite is Repetition which was kind of the jumping off point at which they began experimenting with a lot more studio experimentation rather than merely documenting their powerful live sound. I'm also very sentimentally tied to that one, but it would still be a favorite album if I wasn't.
I agree with Sonic Youth 37 about New Plastic Ideas too. That's their noise-rockiest record in a lot of ways. The old Sonic Youth influence is more blatant on NPI than on some other albums, but that only makes it resonate more.
