I've always wanted to give Bjork a try, but where do I start in the discography as someone completely new to the music?

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

Bjork - Greatest Hits?

But if you want an album, I would say Homegenic.

[Ginsu]

Here are some others:

Bachman-Turner Overdrive (All-Time Greatest Hits will do)
Bangles (Greatest Hits)
Bobby McFerrin (Simple Pleasures is great driving music)
Barry White (collection of your choice) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Enjoy!

i think you start with "Vespertine."

"Medulla" is probably her defining moment but it's pretty crazy stuff to wrap your head around (almost 100% of the sounds on the record are made by a human voice). "Vespertine" is much more accessible.

I'm also starting to really appreciate her new one, "Volta." in some ways it's much simpler but the music is also much more visceral and packs more punch than anything she's done previously. plus, Timbaland worked on it and lately he can do no wrong.

so- for the letter "B"

everything by the Beatles.
everything by Bjork
The Bad Plus "Suspicious Activity"
Bess Rogers "Decisions Based on Information" (quirky female singer-songwriter avant-pop that i mixed)
Blues Traveler "Four"
anything by Billie Holiday

i guess "B" is kinda weak as far as letters go. i'm surprised i couldn't give you a page of recommendations.

Bob Marley & The Wailers:
Legend

[/ QUOTE ]

While Legend is his famous greatest hits collection, Gold is a much better collection. It's 34 songs instead of 14 from Legend and it's chronological, so you can hear how he developed. And even though Gold is two discs, it's sold for the price of 1 disc.

The problem with Legend is that it's too short. Only 14 (or 16, depending on which version you find) songs. And the 2-disc Legend set is a rip-off for new fans because disc 2 is merely remixes of songs found on disc 1 (though the remixes are hard to find, so the set may be good for completists.)

[/ QUOTE ]Thanks, I didn't know about that, sounds good.

Awesome thread idea. Might I suggest in the future that you request everyone only post albums that haven't already been mentioned? (Ctrl-F is your friend, people.)

I'm not at home right now and don't have access to my whole music collection, but off the top of my head albums I haven't seen mentioned here are:

Beat Happening "Beat Happening"
Buzzcocks "Singles Going Steady"
Brian Jonestown Massacre* "Methodrone" "Take It From The Man" "Their Satanic Majesty's Secret Request" "Thank God For Mental Illness"
Blues Explosion/Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "Orange"
Biz Markie "Greatest Hits"

I'll come up with more when I get home.
