*ahem*
Earth the collected works of Justin Broaderick in Godflesh and Jesu The Mountain Goats (but that's closer to 15 years) Morbid Angel Neurosis Sonic Youth Ween
but yeah, the list is pretty tiny indeed. That is a long time to be really good. Yo la Tengo is a tops band in my book

Sonic Youth have had a couple arguable stinkers in the same time frame.

Yo La Tengo Murders the classics? You could make a pretty decent argument either way I think. I'm only acquainted with about 5 YLT albums, so I'm not the man.
I guess in my defense if never heard NYC Ghosts and FLowers or Murray Street or some of those other post Washing Machine, pre Rather Ripped albums

I wouldn't count YLT are Murdering the Classics as a real album. I don't remember if it was actually live in one take or it was compilation, anyway.
but in terms of studio records,
Fakebook May I Sing With Me Painful Electr-O-Pura I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out Summer Sun I Am Not Afraid Of You... Popular Songs
all of those are practically essential if you like the band. Only Summer Sun might be considered the "weak link," but even then, if I'm in the right mood it's really wonderful. A completely stunning run.
as for Sonic Youth, forget the other two you mentioned, but you have to hear Murray Street. I'd put it in my top 5 SY records easily.

please tell me why both Painful and And Nothing... are essential.
Not challenging you here, just curious what you have to say.

I DL'd this and Fuckbook today and my first impressions are that I like this one much more. I actually think I like this more than I'm Not Afraid of You..
There's a certain mood on this one that is perfect for fall and this weird funk I've been in about school and work lately. I love downtempo YLT.
