Where to start?

Entertainment! is the most essential, but if you like them, you probably want Another Day/Another Dollar as well, if for nothing other than the song "To Hell With Poverty." The Peel Sessions are good, too. The material on them is all from the first few records.
michaelicious:
The Peel Sessions are not just good. They are essential listening.
Cernunnos:
Yep. They are really good.
Also, I keep hearing about Pere Ubu. A cursory glance at wikipedia tells me that this might be a challenge considering the scope of their discography (they are also from my hometown!). But if anyone can tell me where to start, I'd really appreciate it.
De_El:
Granted, Gang of Four's Peel Sessions are amazing.
Aww man, Pere Ubu is one of those bands I punked out on. I love the first three albums, but after I heard those my interests shifted and I've yet to hear The Art of Walking or The Tenement Year. You could start chronologically like I did. The Modern Dance is really, really excellent.
Retrospectre:
Is that Scott Walker cat worth a listen?
I keep seeing his name tossed around.
