The Sprawl is one of my all time favorite songs but i thought it a bit too complex for "if only get one song" mode

That's like asking for one's favorite Patti Smith song and bump off "Radio Ethiopia" because it's not as direct as "Dancing Barefoot". Live a little, son!

I didn't necessarily say "favorite" but if you could have just one song.. i chose one that i felt was the best singular tune representing sonic youth..

I was in middle school, a cute girl in my science class knew i loved nirvana so she insisted i borrow her copy of the vhs since she was obsessed with sonic youth. As soon as that tom drop roll and starting riff played i was like, "wait.. whoa.." never looked back. That chick also became a good friend of mine and hooked me up with several of her homegirls which was a win win..

really good version of schizophrenia. you can hear the guitars really good and clear. something i didn't notice until i got Sister on vinyl.

I don't listen to the sister version, its almost an entirely different song from the 91TYPB version

Seconding Diamond Sea. I love it as a song, and hey - if I only get one, I might as well get 19mins of one...
