It's the same with Kim Deal. Average bassist for a great band - and female.
She also did a lot of vocals and, I think, writing for SY.
Considering the music they made, I think Kim Gordon deserves credit on every front because her bass playing was kinda perfect for SY (underdeveloped but with soul/intuition that added to the band), she did other worthy things besides bass (her weird untalented vocals are also a plus in my book) and, uh, she's a girl - so extra credit?

Regardless of all that: of course YES to Sonic Youth
