    Of what I have I like:
    Goo
    Murray street
    The enternal
    Sister
    Sonic Nurse
    And
    Rather ripped.

    Other than a few singles, haven't heard much else.

    Sunday and diamond sea are great songs too. So is bull in the heather.

    Songs:

    Schizophrenia
    Eric's trip
    Teenage riot
    Skip tracer
    Hey Joni
    Youth against fascism
    100%
    Candle
    Silver rocket
    Theresa's sound world

    Albums
    Can't look past sister and daydream nation. Near perfect records that got me into so much other stuff. Washing machine is also very under-rated

    All great recommendations here, but no ones mentioned the underrated 'Sonic Nurse', really good album too...

    It's almost a cliche to suggest starting with Daydream Nation but there's a reason it's so highly rated! :-)
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Sister-----
    and all of their later albums are pretty easy to get into.
    not as much sonic experimentation as the earlier records.
