It really depends on what kindof rock music you prefer. While the BJM can be characterized in general as a psychedelic rock band, they change their approach from record to record. That being said the album Give it Back! is an excellent introductory one as it's a good overview of the various styes they tackle on their other 90's records. I'd also get Take It From the Man! (inspired by garage rock that preceded the BJM on Bomp!) and Their Satantic Majesties' Second Request, (their love-letter to 60's psych) probably their best albums. I wouldn't start with their newer material; I personally enjoy it quite a lot but it's stranger and is a matter of debate among Jonestown fans.

What are good places to start with Throbbing Gristle and/or acid house and/or industrial rock?
20 Jazz Funk Greats is generally known as their most accessible, but it's not very industrial. Still a must-listen, though. I'd really recommend Suicide--not industrial, per se, but very in line with the aesthetic. Absolutely brilliant, at that. As for acid house, it's hard to say just because it was so singles-oriented; I don't know what the best comps are. If no one else has anything I can see about posting/uploading some essential singles, because I have a pretty good amount of it.

A good place to start with acid house is probably Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, which isn't actually acid house (it predated the phenomenon by a few years) but nonetheless sounds remarkably similar.

Psychic TV released some seminal albums in the late 80's. Coil also dabbled.

As for industrial rock, well, you'll meet a lot of people with taste who claim that none of it was very good, but you'd probably do well to start where most people do - Skinny Puppy's Too Dark Park, Ministry's The Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Nine Inch Nails' discography up until The Fragile. A lot of people like KMFDM but I never got into them. Swans' Greed / Holy Money is more industrial than rock but it's certainly a watershed.

I would hesitate to call Too Dark Park (or even Skinny Puppy in general) Industrial Rock. If you're going to be that loose with the definition I might recommend, say, 'Third Mall From the Sun' or 'Light, But Refreshing' by Snog, or going the other way maybe albums by Alien Sex Fiend or some Neu Deutsche Welle bands, particularly Malaria! and Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft.

The question with industrial rock is: what are you looking for? Do you want something heavy, metallic? If so, the above Ministry albums, or 'Pure' by Godflesh or many other Justin Broadrick related projects (I'm quite keen on the first Ice album 'Under the Skin' or 'Life is Easy' by the pre-Godflesh Fall of Because at this particular moment). If you're looking for the sort of industrial rock that you might hear soundtracking a 'dark and edgy' 90's action movie or school shooting you want KMFDM ('Angst'), My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult ('Kooler Than Jesus'), White Zombie ('Astro-Creep 2000'), Pig (never really rated Pig but I guess 'Sinsation'), the NiN mentioned above or, quite honestly, there's nothing really wrong with the first two Rammstein albums. If you're after something slightly more clever and a bit old-school, your best bet is Foetus ('Nail', which may have the artist listed as 'Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel'), Swans or Cop Shoot Cop ('Ask Questions Later'). There's also the really underrated J.G Thirlwell side-project Wiseblood, which is kind of what you'd get if you mashed together big-band swing and early Swans.

I'd start with their early material.  Get Twice Removed and One Chord to Another, you can't go wrong with either.

Skinny Puppy had one album you could call industrial "rock" and that one turned out the way it did because Al Jourgensen from Ministry was playing with them at the time.

I've been noticing that a lot of the punk bands I like seem to dig Superchunk, and I also like the cover New Bruises did on their split with O Pioneers!!!.

Superchunk me, guys.

It's all good from that point onwards, just keep going in order. I can't think of one which I'd feel okay about skipping. Great band.

I second this sentiment. Don't overlook the EPs. There is some pretty cool stuff tucked away on them.

For Superchunk, you can't go wrong with No Pocky for Kitty. It's produced by Steve Albini, what else could you ask for?

I have to agree with Tommy, but you should check out Majesty Shredding. It's exciting to hear Superchunk coming out with more good material.
Also, John Darnielle is on the album doing backup vocals for Digging for Something. His unbridled enthusiasm shows through in a way that makes me smile.

I have a question for this thread, but I've already started, so I want to know where should I go next with Joan of Arc?

I have Flowers, which I love, and Boo Human, which mostly annoys me, but has a couple good songs. So what next?

if they have more acoustical jam-out awesomesauce songs like the six minute masterpiece "flowers" then I'd love to hear them, but I get the feeling that that song is a bit of an anomalie.

recommending other bands that aren't necessarily joan of arc or joan of arc related is okay too

For the Okkies I'd recommend seeing them live before you've heard a note of their music, then collecting their albums based on which songs from their show you liked best.

That's what I did and it was ace.

Neither have I, actually! I liked what I heard of samples on the Southern Lord site or their Myspace or whatever but I'm so, so terribly behind with new heavy music. I haven't properly listened to several of the bands on the list in my above post, actually.

Most accessible are Dirty and Rather Ripped.
Then proceed to Daydream Nation, their often considered magnum opus
From there I think you have two paths, either pre-DDN or post. I think their sound really changes in that time.
Do not listen to Goo, the band was in a bad place and they really were being pushed around by their new major label.
The Eternal is their newest and most generic, so I wouldnt really look at that.
Washing Machine is great, and the finale to it, The Diamond Sea, is probably their best song they ever recorded

I would start with Daydream Nation, really their best, maybe one of the best albums ever.
I have to contradict godspeed, Goo isn't at all bad, it has my favourite SY song Tunic (Song for Karen).
I would also recommend Sonic Nurse, and in particular the underrated A Thousand Leaves.

And check out some of their more abstract, instrumental stuff, aka the SYR series.
The latest "Simon Werner a disparu" is probably the closest they've ever come to post-rock.
