The more I listen to Sonic Youth, the more I start to like them. I always had the idea that they were nothing but noise-makers with not a lot of musical substance, but they actually have some pretty solid pop songs and punk songs that they dress in a coat of feedback and squealing squalls of guitar.
From what I read, their first one or two albums might have been a bit more confrontational with their sound mellowing as they developed. Certainly "Sister" and "Evol" are perfectly accessible for the average rock person.
