What's a good launching point for Sigur Ros? I know that they only have five LPs, but is there a clear winner or any to stay clear from?

Thanks for the Sigur Ros help. Both were quite good, but () was right up my ally. I thought I could get into Earth, Wind & Fire just by exploring a little bit, but Jesus Jones, they have 19 studio albums. I'm sort of averse to compilation albums, but if the Greatest Hits album is really the way to go, say so. I jut much prefer to get the whole sound of an album together, but sometimes you have a Queen situation, where each album is mostly padding for a couple of singles.

Squarepusher has a sight more albums than I expected. What are this guy's key albums?

NicktheBishop posted:Feed Me Weird Things and Big Loada are probably (definitely) the most accessible, and are both terrific. I don't like his more experimental stuff, but even if you do you can't go wrong with these. Awesome, thanks. Do you consider Ultravisitor experimental? I found myself really enjoying "Iambic 9 Poetry", and I'm wondering if that album is more of the same.

TheNintenGenius posted:Springsteen doesn't have a self-titled. I should have known that, it's just mistakenly labeled in my iTunes library. Skipping the self-titled also applies to Bowie, by the way.

Harry Privates posted:Where can I start with Yo La Tengo and Built to Spill? YLT has a pretty solid discography if you ask me, but I recommend starting at I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. If it doesn't grab you (or even if it does) then try And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.

Rubber Biscuit posted:Can we please cut down on these? Just because an artist has a small discography, doesn't mean there isn't a huge gap in quality between each album, and answering like this is of absolutely no help to the person who asked. fair enough. Imogen Heap is pop music so it's not as if any of the albums are particularly difficult listens. Speak for Yourself is probably the best by a very small margin, followed by iMegaphone, followed by the altogether bland Ellipse. To be honest, none of them are as good as Details, and her solo albums are nigh indistinguishable from one another, so there's not a definitive starting point. If you really like Speak for Yourself then you'll likely enjoy the rest, and if you don't, then you won't likely find much of value in them.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:I posted this a while ago, and I got a reply recommending Sign Of The Times, which I really like, also LoveSexy got added to this list. So besides the above, and the two new ones, which ones should I get next? Maybe the Love Symbol Album or Parade? To be honest I think you're deep enough into the discog to safely say that you "like" Prince, so at this point you might just be better off experimenting for yourself.

Sunset Tree is what a lot of people will say and it's a good example of his polished sound w/ pianos and strings and whatever. I like his lo-fi stuff tons better and if that sounds like your bag you should get All Hail West Texas
