Thats a fine selection there, however I often think that singles are rarely the best output of a band, even one as awesome as Sonic Youth - i disagree with what tracks bands decide to release as singles sometimes, for example Nevermind seems a bizarre choice from 'NYC', Renagade Princess screams out as a single, and a far better one at that.
Its good that you've got stuff from all their work, and you've set it out in glorious chronilogicless order like that, it'll make a varied mix-tape/CD-R. But, if that dude didn't dig Daydream, then maybe just pick stuff from an era of sonic youth he will be more likely to connect with, maybe the heavier stuff on Confusion Is Sex, or the spacier sound of Murray St, i dunno. I think theres something for everyone in this band, but just laying it all out on a plate like that could be a bit confusing, perhaps just concentrate on one area...
