Dig Me Out is way too low.

In terms of importance, I wholeheartedly agree with you there.
In terms of energy, absolutely you are on the money with that.

In terms of enjoyability for me, that's why I ranked it so low. There's three or four songs on that album that I can listen to with regularity, and the rest of it... Well, I get a minute into them, and I think to myself "okay, I get it, enough of this."
 
Now, one of my favorite bands... and it pains me to do this.

LOW albums, ranked.

Ones & Sixes
The Curtain Hits The Cast
The Great Destroyer
C'Mon
Long Division
Things We Lost In The Fire
Secret Name
I Could Live In Hope
Trust
Double Negative
The Invisible Way
Drums And Guns
 
Another favorite band... Full-lengths or things counted as albums only.

SONIC YOUTH

Daydream Nation
Washing Machine
Dirty
Confusion Is Sex
Goo
Sister
Murray Street
Evol
Bad Moon Rising
Sonic Nurse
A Thousand Leaves
Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star
NYC Ghost & Flowers
Rather Ripped
The Eternal
Sonic Youth
The Whitey Album

The only one I agree with is your top pick. However, props for putting Dirty so high, it doesn’t get the love it deserves.

Low doesn’t really make bad records so any order is gonna be fine by me. y list would be fairly different than this. I think Ones & Sixes might be my least favorite…

Things We Lost In The Fire
The Great Destroyer
Long Division
Double Negative
Secret Names
Trust
The Curtain Hits The Cast
The Invisible Way
C’mon
I Could Live I’m Hope
Drums & Guns
Ones &Sixes

… but a “bad” Low album is still really really good.
