Well, it's all a matter of opinion. It really depends on your taste in music. Personally, I like only a few of their 11 albums. Three albums from their earlier, psychedelic period - Up the Downstair, The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify; and one album from their later, prog-rock/metal period - Fear of a Blank Planet (their best overall, IMO). Not that they don't have good songs on all of their albums; but those are their most consistent albums. Again, only my opinion. If you like the harder stuff, I'd recommend Fear of a Blank Planet, then go from there. If you're more into psychedelic, ala Pink Floyd, I'd start with either The Sky Moves Sideways or Signify, and go from there.
