Where to start?

Did you download that Rory Gallagher album I posted a couple days ago on the mediafire thread? Excellent and easy place to start before you start getting into the really hard-core, early stuff. I'm also a huge fan of Lightnin' Hopkins, (Texas style) and Howlin' Wolf (Chicago style). Listen to those three guys and you'll have a nice broadstroke introduction to guitar based blues.

Raindogs is probably my favorite, and then start going backwards chronologically from there for awhile.

i won't dispute anything De_El said, but personally i would start with Bone Machine, because it is simultaneously his most accessible album and his strangest. it has the most wide range of sounds and is by quite a large margin the one i listen to the most.
Scandanavian War Machine:
I started with Raindogs and never looked back.

The live album The Name of This Band is Talking Heads wouldn't be a bad start actually.

I don't know if the chronology is that important since the "essential discography" is relatively small. I listened to their first four albums in alternate pairs, I guess you could say. I found More Songs About Buildings and Food at a farmer's market then picked up Remain in Light from a used record store about a month later. Then I got Talking Heads: 77 after that. I never bought Fear of Music and maybe that is why I don't rate it as high as the other three, but it is still great.

Where do I start with Wire?
