"Definitely the band developed the Lo Fi sound that seems to be everywhere in the indie/underground music scene."

I beg to differ. Lou Barlow (early Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Sentridoh, etc.) introduced and subsequently perfected the lo-fi sound. Also, the Mountain Goats 1994 "Zopilote Machine" CD is a seminal gem.

Two other CDs mentioned on the list are worth picking up as well:

91. XTC, Skylarking (Geffen, 1986)
90. Sonic Youth, Sister (DGC, 1987)

Well Jon Spencer "wanted" to be Sonic Youth at one point. SY talked of doing a cover version of the Beatles' White Album but Jon's band Pussy Galore did a full release of the Stones' Exile On Main St. (recorded in 3 days).

It was a limited cassette only release (250 copies I think).
