The Thread Where You Name an Artist and Someone Else Recommends an Album

[wmgaretjax]

Primus

[SoulDischarge]

Sailing The Seas Of Cheese.

[heart cooks brain]

I'm leaving you out in the fucking wilderness on this one. I hope wolves rape your sternum. Metaphorically.

Is this a greatest hits album or a traditional release?

[Gribbz]

M83

Saturdays = Youth

It's a bootleg recorded directly to a cassette tape made out of the bones of innocent women slaughtered during the Salem witch trials and the webbing of black widow spiders.

M83- Saturdays = Youth.
I second what Mr. Dale Gribble stated. It might not be my favorite of all the albums, but it is the best place to start.

[Gribbz]

Neil Young.
Tom Waits.
Scott Walker.

[FoxeyLady]

Tom Waits.
Scott Walker.

Tom Waits - most people would probably recommend Rain Dogs, but my personal favorite is Alice.

Scott Walker - Scott 3, although really 1-4 are all magnificent.

[Down Rodeo]

Primus

After Sailing the Seas of Cheese, check out Frizzle Fry.

Suzy Creamcheese

Mule Variations and Scott 4.

Suzy Creamcheese

"Suzy Creamcheese what's got into you?"

[kreutz2112]

Neil Young.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

[liquidsnake28]

Bonemachine and Pork Soda are also greats from Tom and Les that would be fine starting points.

[thom cobain]

Animal Collective

[liquidsnake28]

this order sounds good - MPP, Strawberry Jam, Feels

Suede

[send me ctrpllrs]

I'd say starting with Strawberry Jam is better. That is where I started, I think if you like that you are more likely to enjoy going father back in their career and the newer stuff will be enjoyed even more.

[liquidsnake28]

If you like happy (sometimes obnoxiously so) pop music then start with SJ. If you like more laid back, psychedelic, 60's (yet still poppy in that way) music then start with MPP.

MPP is what got me into them, personally.

[Mr. Porter]

The Orb

[TallGuyCM]

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Everybody, Harvest and After the Gold Rush are the best places to start, but On the Beach might be his greatest achievement.

What these guys said.

Tom Waits.

I would say Rain Dogs... if for no other reason than "Gun Street Girl."

EDIT:

Mule Variations

Actually, Jared might be right here. Primus covered "Big in Japan" when we saw them in Vegas.

Just grab both.

[FoxeyLady]

Has Guided By Voices already been mentioned?

Also, Roxy Music.

I am partial to Siren. It's my favorite. Great from start to finish.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i adore Avalon, but I'm more of a fan of Roxy Music adult contemporary stuff for some reason. It's a like an album of prom slow dance songs.

[getbetter]

Jandek
Sparks
Television

[bballarl]

There is no good entry point to Jandek. Though his late-80s/early-90s output is the most accessible. Just download everything you can and see what's up. He is amazing, but most definitely not accessible.

Television = Marquee Moon

[getbetter]

I like what i've heard from Ready for the House.



I forgot to put down



Mew

[bmack86]

Yeah Zach, Jandek is kind of an all-in or all-out sorta guy. He has albums that aren't as good, but really if you enjoy one you'll be able to fall into that deep, dark, weird hole that is his catalog.

[bballarl]

There really isn't anyone out there like him. He is fascinating.
