A question for the ages.

Would it confuse you if I said Pistolero? (Not that BLT is wrong.)


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

Ooops. Did you mean solo or with the most excellent
Catholics? If the former, I'd say Teenager of the Year
(not that BLT is wrong!).

Why do I have a feeling that everybody is going to suggest their own favorite, and there won't be any real conclusion?

Oh, right. Because it's happened 20,000 times before.

For what it's worth, though, I would second the recommendation for Teenager of the Year.

Chronological's not a bad way to go.

Welcome the_o, you are really going to like it here.

Chronological would give you a good appreciation of The Man's 9 albums, but if you start out with TOTY (Teenager of the Year) you will have a huge selection of the best rock and roll ever. No skippers here. And, there is plenty of variety, with no shortage of guitars (See Pong, Freedom Rock, Two Reelers,etc..)

So, I say welcome and enjoy!

TOTY would win with charm and produced guitars, I appreciated if you are talking to me. I just dont know what chronological means. I must be weary of the mind. If chronological means songs like (pong, freedom rock and 2 reelers) i dont think i am chronological. More raw like robert onion, I wan rock and roll, Llano del rio. Oh and bullet, and pong and billy radcliffe and... im gonna be very happy here, lol/// bit half cut, just back from pub but all true. Have st. francis dam disaster on now, a diamond to sing me out

As someone who loves the Pixies far more than the Catholics, I definitely suggest you start with TOTY or Frank Black self-titled. They are far closer to the Pixies, alternative rock. Definitely don't start with Honeycomb, there is a very good chance you won't like it.
