Where to start?
DarkAvenger:
At the beginning, with Pink Flag. The first three albums are absolutely stellar.

Sam Cooke, for sure. The Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 comp should suffice as a good introduction.

Yeah, first three records in order and then feel free to stop there.
E. Spaceman:
Yeah with Talking Heads start at the beginning. Remain in Light is in my opinion the best one but it is not exactly representative of their career, indeed the first four album are markedly different and they only really settled on a sound after Speaking iN Tongues, which is the last one you SHOULD get.

Ewige Blumenkraft is the next one you should listen to, it's absolutely essential. Los Sounds De Krauts is also pretty much too good to pass on under any circumstances. After that, it kinda depends which direction you want to go in. Listen to Tempel and All if you want to hear their more recent, more polished work. Listen to CO2 and Seven to get a sense for the grittier, earlier sound. If you want to see their trippiest side, listen to Periscope. Chopping Machine is not really that great but it's worth a listen if you like everything else so much that you just have to listen to everything they've put out (which is pretty likely, they're an absolutely superb band).
