| My favourtie FB record is Teenager of the Year, followed closely by his self titled debut. Both of these records are QUITE different from what you have heard, so it may a be a bit of a shock, but I really don't think you can go wrong with either of these records. Both are vary diverse, with a wide variety of styles and sounds to enjoy. I would probably say Teenager, becuase it's longer and if it's the last record you buy for a while, it will last that much longer. |

Teenager of the Year, then I'd get the first Frank Black album after that, just because it's his first one and it's good.

| If you're low on money, definitely Teenager since there are more than enough songs on there to tie you over until you can get the next one. Plus the album is a must have regardless, and though quite a different sound than BLD (though there are songs that have elements of it and moreso DITS), there's really no debating the awesomeness of the album. |

| "Oddballs" is a good one. I think it was fairly low priced as well. |

| Definitely, Teenager of the Year. Then Frank Black S/T and personally the next one to get is Frank Black and the Catholics S/T. |

Let's face it, you are gonna have to buy all of them eventually. The majority says Teenager, but you may like his first one better than Teenager (or even Cult of Ray better than Teenager?) Does it matter which you buy first? Perhaps, but, then again, not really if you already like Frank Black and know it's too late to be turned off by a "bad first album experience."

| First album. The best thing to do with Frank is go from beginning to end in order |

| Maybe just go backwards. Get the next most recent - Pistelero. It's good. Teenager is necessary to have even if you don't like FB - it is really that good (especially if you have/drive a car). |

or if you wanna be cheap, yet legal, do the emusic.com free-trial.. download several albums, and then quit.

| Definitely Teenager. You'll also be getting the most songs for your money. |

Interesting that no-ones mentionned the first Catholics album, although I have to say that I'd leave that one until after the first FB (which in my opinion is better than Teenager). Buy them all, fuck the cash worries.

| Seems like a good idea to go 'back in time' it will show you the evolution of the Frank music. |

| I got teenager of the year today. great album i knew it would be. as for being a shock i dont understand why. Pixies rocked the Frank Black albums i have rock. now as soon as i can i will buy another one with no doubt it will be good. Frank is one of the few artist i listen to that i know has only good music. He hasnt let me down and he never will. Thanks to all that help me pick. |

| I got Teenager and Frank Black at the same time and at first I listened to FB a good bit more, but once I got used to teenager, I couldn't stop listening. |
