I really love Teenage Fanclub - although if you mention it these days, people assume you're just into jangly guitar Byrds / Big Star type bands. It all started with 'A Catholic Education' for me - 'Everything Flows' has to be one of the best Fanclub tracks ever. They've shown some real diversity during their career - from the hard edged debut through to more experimental noise stuff on 'The King' and pure pop harmonies on many of the later albums. A personal career progression tracklisting for me would include:
Everything Flows
Mudhoney
Star Sign
Sparky's Dream
Mellow Doubt
Neil Jung
Ain't That Enough
Winter
I Need Direction
Fallen Leaves
In fact, I feel a ten track compilation coming on...
