That Sonic Youth album was for me a zeitgeist, a soundtrack for the times. And a couple other SY albums too, like Daydream Nation.

Listening to Washing Machine still kind of reminds me of the time in which I bought it (1996, I was 15 and purchased it on like my 3rd or 4th trip to Checkered Records in Canton) and played it a billion times because it was one of the coolest, neatest records I owned. Of course, I found my first My Dad is Dead album on the same day, and my enjoyment of that has outlasted my enjoyment of pretty much anything Sonic Youth did (not that I don't still really like Washing Machine.)
