I appreciated the approach of NYC Ghosts. Dirty is far and above Ripped.
And The Whitey Album is fun, but I've never considered it a true S-Y album. It is basically them goofing off and having some fun. Although, Burnin' Up is pretty darn cool, as well as some of the instrumentals/atmospherics.
It also matters greatly where we are in our lives when this stuff hits us.

I think that's it. I used to love Sister. I think it's probably their most eclectic album, and the highs are very high. But to me the lows are very low. I've mostly stopped listening to Sonic Youth, outside of the occasional Washing Machine listen(and some other songs off random albums), but I come back to the good parts of Sister every now and then
