At any given moment, my choice would either be Murray Street, A Thousand Leaves, Daydream Nation, Washing Machine, or Sonic Nurse (as far as full lengths go, some of the SYR albums are amazing)
So I've heard every SY full length, and every SYR ep, along with most of the other EPs, and I can honestly say they don't have any material that I don't at least like. It's pretty impressive considering the enormous catalog of music they have. A lot of people will dis albums like NYC Ghosts & Flowers and the Eternal, but I still love them. SYR 9 is an underrated piece that I really enjoy, and I think it has one of their all time greatest tracks with "Thème d’Alice".
Guess I'll get some obvious choices out of the way. Naming a favorite album is near impossible, but to say this is mine wouldn't be a stretch. I have connected with almost all of these lyrics in one way or another and personally find them all to be amazingly deep with emotional heaviness and all that fruity stuff. Combined with the incredibly bright, warm, and comfortable sound of the music, a truly remarkable work is put together. Some of the best sounds and noises ever put to tape are in this record, and it's very moving from beginning to end.
One time I had a seizure while listening to "Luna", and it was really weird and for some reason made a track I already loved and connected with deeply even more resonant in my life. It was a very surreal instance.
