Starting Points
Misereatur:
I started listening to SY from One Thousand Leaves. Still my favorite album.
logosmonkey:
Cure Disintegration is to me their greatest achievment... but for a primer to their vast catalog I would suggest Staring at the Sea (their early hits) and Galore (their later hits post)
Joy Division, a lot of people will say Closer, it is afterall their best album.. I really like Unkown Pleasures though... but I think thats only because it was the first one I heard.
You should also check out New Order, it's Joy Division sans Ian Curtis (who offed himself)
Sonic youth, ya got me.. I don't listen to them enough to make an informed suggestion...
Kid Modernist:
My favorite periods of Sonic Youth are the Noise and Grunge periods. Daydream Nation is their best, in my opinion, EVOL, Dirty, all the ones mentioned.
As far as Tom Waits, I like Nighthawks at the Diner. Supposedly live, but it's in the studio he set up with people.
Joy Division, get Permanent, that's a good starting place, even if Closer is their best album.
The Cure is one of my favorite bands, I would say Disintegration, Faith, and The Head on the Door are the ones to get. Disintegration is their masterpiece (imo), but Faith is a really close second.

Mark Lanegan (outside of screaming trees as I already own everything I could find from them and downloaded the rest, plus I have his thingy with Isobell Campbell)

ooo...I'd go for Whiskey for the Holy Ghost (1994), mostly for the tracks "Sunrise" and "Dead on You".
The first album, The Winding Sheet (1990), has the Cobain duet, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". If you're a completist for that kind of thing, go there. I don't care much for Cobain myself.
For later stuff, I'd take Here Comes that Weird Chill(2003) over Bubblegum any day.

I never get why people ask this kind of question. I mean, why not just download a bunch of stuff by them, then go out and buy stuff if you like it?
