    Frizzle Fry and Sailing the Seas of Cheese to start with. After you're hooked on those you'll HAVE TO own all the others! Also be sure to pick up the Live DVD Hallucino-Genetics too.

    As said above, get "Sailing the seas of cheese" and "Pork soda".

    I'd have to say Sailing the Seas of Cheese is their best album. All of their stuff is worthy of picking up, but i think this one appeals more to a general crowd. Fish On is one of the coolest songs les has ever made. The dvd they have live from chicago is fucking insane to watch. There's monitors with trippy shit and cool ass effects. That's worth picking up too.

    I'd say start with either Cheese or Frizzle Fry, then move on to Pork Soda and Punchbowl.

    Saying "Primus Sucks" means you like Primus. It's a Primus thing.

    Sailing the Seas of Cheese definitely. It's the easiest to absorb. If you like it, try Pork Soda, then Frizzle Fry. After that you're basically taking a risk because (though I like them all) I have friends who like and hate the other albums, it's never consistent. The other ones are a matter of opinion I think. But they all have at least two good songs on each that everyone I know likes if that helps.

    Pork Soda....

    and my two fav songs off it

    Bob
    "I had a friend who took a belt
    took a belt and hung himself
    hung himself in the doorway
    or the apartment
    where he lived"

    Welcome to this World

    Champagne and swimming pools
    well all you have to lose
    is your virginity"

    That's been around since the early days. Their first disc was a live disc called "Suck On This" and Les jokes with the crowd "Thanks a lot, we're Primus, we suck". I think it just sort of snowballed from there.
