One thing you have to understand is most of the "great" bands of the no-wave era produced no LPs. Mars, DNA, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks all have massive influence on the post-punk genre and music in general but there aren't too many surviving recordings. As far as albums go, I'd say that these four are my favorites:
Glenn Banca - The Ascension
James Chance and the Contortions - Buy
Swans - Children of God/World of Skin
J. G. Thirlwell (Foetus) - Nail (okay not really no-wave but this is f*cking brilliant)
I'll see if I can scrape together a compilation for you, might be interesting if I can even find some stuff I've always been curious about.
