That was the first Sonic Youth album back when Kim Gordon was in her 20s

I lol'd.

And my vote is for Buddy Holly. One of the first to write and produce his music along with playing it. He's also one of the few artists I listen to from the time that had more eclectic tracks on his albums. Take for example a chuck berry album-as much as I love him, most of the songs sound exactly alike. Buddy Holly had a real talent for writing different types of songs, rather than being a one-trick-pony.
