My Yo La Tengo list of favorites is a bit different, and based on how much
I listen to each disc:
1. I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
2. Fakebook
3. Danelectro ep (all-instrumental, with some remixes)
4. And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
As for the rest of their records, there's always a few killer melodic pop
songs on each, some noise freak-outs, some mellow heart-tuggers. I like
Electropura and Painful, but a good chunk of the tracks on those two can be
a bit more noise and distortion-heavy. Not necessarily a bad
thing. Summer Sun is good, but sort of a lite version of the 2 previous
records. Collect them all. Their instrumental cd the Sounds of Science is
also great, in that mellow ambient vein. They're one of those bands I own
everything of (Stereolab, Luna, Magnetic Fields being other examples of
buying the product unheard because of the extremely low suck quotient).
