Ah, I was preparing my list, which included this statement: "The 
Raybeats' _Guitar Beat_ has much to recommend it--no-wave surf 
stylings of the underappreciated Jody Harris--and a young Danny Amis 
as well."

In addition to the usual suspects (Tom/extended TV family), some 
others come to mind:

Naked City's _Radio_ and some live boot .mp3s from the final 
performances in '93.  Frisell just *explodes* in a way I never would 
have thought possible, given the character of his solo work.

John Zorn's _Filmworks I_ contains some blistering work by Quine, too.

Several songs off Polvo's _Today's Active Lifestyles_, almost all of 
_This Eclipse_, and "Rock Post Rock" and "El Rocio" from _Shapes_. 
By the time of _Celebrate the New Dark Age_ (which I'm *still* trying 
to find a copy of), they'd thoroughly digested their Sonic Youth 
worship and were speaking with their own voice.

Which brings us to... _Daydream Nation_ and _Evol_.  The noise 
explosion in the middle of "Silver Rocket" right where the solo's 
supposed to be gets me every time.

Bitch Magnet's _Umber_ (which included David Grubbs when he could 
still bring the rock).

The first and third Don Caballero albums.

I'll second _Zuma_ and add _On the Beach_.

And in a different direction altogether, the Nick Drake box set.
