I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned this...
McTaggart:
I don't think I appreciate Johnny Cash nearly as much as know I should. Probably because I haven't really heard much of his music. Any suggestions where to start?

hard to go wrong with "Live at Folsom Prison" or"live At San Quentin"
Folsom has a better song selection, but San Quentin has a slightly better performance. I'd go with Folsom.
The new "Legend" box set is the best compilation I've ever seen- and it's 4 discs for the price of two!.
Other good JC albums...
Songs Of Our Soil
Bitter Tears
True Ballads of The Old West
any of the American Recordings
"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" (which you can only get on LP, so good luck, the CD from 1995 isn't the same album, it's a compilation)
really, almost any of his proper albums is gonna have a lot of good songs, including a few that you won't find on many compilations. I'm not real big on "greatest hits" packages, but I understand the appeal for someone with SO MANY great songs.

Praising Johnny Cash is the new black.
I wonder how many of you will be denying you did so in a year.

Although I don't think people will be denying it later, I do agree that he gets a lot of lipservice these days. It really fucking annoys me when "hurt" is someone knows of him, yet they act like he is one of their favorites. But I've learned to try to steer the conversation towards his 1970 single "What is Truth."
Johnny C:
My favourite Cash song is a live version of "Wreck of the Old 97." He whoops like the train. It's awesome.
