thanks mate

don't know about nick cave, but for the who I'd start with who's next. it jams hard even though the middle is a bit undercooked. tommy is probably my favorite overall if you like concepts

John Fahey
Jason Molina stuff

for every band/artist listed in this thread

just start from the fucking beginning

I could see this method being effective for a listener that wants to recreate that feeling of discovering an artist at their beginning and seeing them grow and progress, but sometimes you just need that one album that presents the artist in such a way that you appreciate the rest of their shit more

>>74358078
cont'd: the earlier you hear that album, the more attentive/interested you'll probably be to hear the rest. could save time

>>74357853
Fahey: Work your way through his discography chronologically, he has so many sounds, gotta start at the beginning

Molina: Magnolia Electric Co.

Luigi Nono

>>74357699
>The Who
I'd start at the early stuff (mostly singles, so get a compilation like Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy) and go chronological. With respect to >>74357829 if you start at Who's Next you'll have been spoiled. I'd say it's better to listen to them grow in genius. Also, make sure to listen to Live at Leeds, IMHO the best live album anyone ever made.)

It's especially helpful when the band changes sound over time. Like say you want to hear space pop lounge exotica Stereolab over noise pop Neu! Stereolab. That's fine. You can easily recontextualize their later work once you listen to their whole discog.
