If you want to get into Eels, start with Beatiful Freak.

Well, obviously. It's their first album (not counting E's solo stuff) and is probably the best place to get a feel for their way of songwriting.
If not Beautiful Freak, get Daisies of the Galaxy, because that album is actually mostly happen and has some really catchy songs (like I Like Birds and Flyswatter).

--- Quote from: Kai ---I think we should all just listen to the avant garde.

Point me in a direction, oh wise one, and I shall follow. Preferably the direction of a good starting point in the realm of the avant garde.

John Zorn.
Ornette Coleman.
Steve Reich (Modern Composer).
John Cage (Modern Composer).
Anyway, Air are amazing Electro-Pop. If you liked them you'll also like Telefon Tel Aviv.

Quick word(s) on 'indie':
No, indie is not a genre. There is much eye-rolling when people say I'm an indie hipster. Then again, I sometimes call myself an indie-rock hipster for simplicity.
Indie-rock/pop/folk/whatever is more like a genre, but possibly a redundant term. Iron & Wine isn't folk, it's indie-folk? [sarcasm]Does that make sense?[/sarcasm]
Though indie does not define a specific genre, I like music, and indie is music that isn't necessarily influenced by the 'mainstream' money making machine as much, and has fresh and interesting takes on sound. Hence I can say I'm into indie, because there's not much of it I dislike, and I'll listen to most of it's genres. I like indie because it says to me 'different', 'new', 'creative', 'fun', 'stimulating'.
So indie, no, not a genre, but yes, a good word for the music I like.
EDIT: Forgot to apply the sarcasm tags.

So what you're saying is "I like to put "indie" in front of things because it makes me feel better."
