Starting with the best

Oh wait, that's not what you meant is it?
But in all seriousness, I go to Spotify and pick a random album. Generally the one that has the largest percentage of 'top tracks' in it. This is probably not the best way to do it though.

I do this most of the time. The way I figure it, I can generally tell from one album if it's worth it to go through the rest of the band's catalogue. If not, then at least the album I own is the one album worth owning.
...Though sometimes I'll start with a band's more extreme/idiosyncratic releases, if it's something that's closer to my own tastes than said artist's general sound. For example, the first David Bowie album I got was Outside because I was more into industrial than glam rock. The only Lou Reed album I own is Metal Machine Music. And since I'm not familiar with jazz in general, I chose Pangaea as the first Miles Davis album in my collection.

I love this because it's the exact same pose as the Miles one.
