Sonic Youth started literally at the same place as Swans, in the same scene as Lydia Lunch, DNA and so on. They used to make abrasive spooky no-wave.
Then they gradually moved towards more and more melody in their music. However, that's also when the band started going pretty different directions. Lee tracks sound very different from Thurston tracks, which in turn differ vastly from Kim.
Eventually, they were offered a place in the "wave" of punk in the early '90s. They refused to change their sound and fucked it all up. They tried to sell their music which was incompatible with mainstream, and failed miserably.
However, they were the ones who 'found' Cobain and Beck, and helped attract many acts to DGC; they were 'godfathers' of the scene, their 'connections' helped Chloe Sevigny, Spike Jonze, and many more. Ironically, the most money they got in their lives was because of a lawsuit vs DGC, and also because of Gordon's fashion line that got big in Korea.
In the 2000s, their whole gear was stolen, and they decided to change completely to more pop sound, without much noise. By that time they all started branching into their side projects. We all know how it all ended with Kin and Thurston's bitter divorce.

80s stuff is pretty great. My favs are CIS, Bad Moon Rising and DDN. Goo is okay. I kinda hate Dirty and Jet Set. Washing Machine is nice. Everything else is "solid" but boring at times.
I have never listen to The Eternal.
