Best Mudhoney album to start with...

If one had zero Mudhoney albums in their collection and wanted to buy one to get the best feel for their music while combining some of their more popular tunes that they may play at a concert, which album would you pick? I was thinking their Greatest Hits / Rarities compilation March to Fuzz would be the best. Anything better?

    This, although the 2nd cd is a lot of b sides covers and messing around.

    Piece of cake and Superfuzz Bigmuff are good starts too.

    What compels people to bash bands in the other music section? Congrats on not liking them- plenty of people do.

    I would start with Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles.
