Not your favourite, but the one you'd play to someone who'd never heard them before so you'd be able to say, 'yeah, that's pretty much what sonic youth sound like'.

I've always thought "Schizophrenia" -- has both Thurston/Kim vocal parts and some very pretty/very atonal-dark passages, plus that great ending. Really, what's better?

Preferably a live version though...
