I'm ready to be shot down in flames, but for me:

Hunky Dory
Ziggy
Aladdin Sane
Diamond Dogs

But each of the above has been my favourite at one time or another.  Currently loving Hunky Dory hard, though.
The trouble with the straight and the narrow is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side

3- Station to Station
4- Aladdin Sane
5- Scary Monsters
6- Heroes (w/ Brian Eno)
7- Low  (w/Eno and Robert Fripp)

Quote& Robert Wyatt...

SHLEEP is amazing, but i'd go with the older stuff first.  if you don't own anything by the soft machine, go out and get all of it first.  if you're looking just for solo robert wyatt, i'd go with OLD ROTTENHAT or RUTH IS STRANGER THAN RICHARD.  you're in for a treat.  he's a legend.

Cheers Tombo!
Don't have anything by Soft Machine. A friend lent me Shleep a while back & he's been on my list ever since + I adore his cover of shipbuilding. Read a great interview with him recently & decided it was time to buy some albums.

Can't go wrong with...

Come On Pilgrim/Surfer Rosa
Doolittle


Also, I always thought Robert Wyatt's version of Shipbuilding WAS the original. No?

That's settled  :)

I'm not a huge Costello fan, but Shipbuilding is a magnificent tune. Thanks Elvis!

Sorry! Hey do you know the other Elvis' real name?
Something for the music quiz thread maybe. I should go and answer one right soon.

"easy beat", is a little less polished than "we all belong". with a band that only has a handful of disc, i would just go from the start, and just say "fuck it why not?"

QuoteThe Pixies?

Sorry I missed this, I've posted on the greatness of the Pixies many times before.  Start with Doolittle (tied with Afghan Whigs' Gentelmen as my favorite album of all time).  If you don't like Doolittle, stop and seek medical attention or check into rehab and then listen to it again.

After that I'd go straight to the end and get Trompe Le Monde - their highly underrated and final effort.  Maybe our European friends can advise us as to why they couldn't get with this album - "This ain't no planet of sound..."  Then the early stuff (Surfer Rosa, Come on Pilgrim) and end with Bossanova.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bossanova and you will too, but it's an acquired taste.  There are also tons of EP's and the like floating around that are essential for freaks like me.  And I think that there are more tribute albums at this point than actual albums.  Best tribute ever was Sugar's "Good Idea" on Copper Blue.  It wasn't a Pixies song, but Bob Mould wrote it as a nod to the Pixies and it's right on point.
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

Have you heard Apostrophe (')? If not you are missing out.
Politics. It's a drag. They put one foot in the grave, and the other on The Flag.
