What are some of the quintessential albums to get started?
The best place to start out with Bill Withers is "Live At Carnegie Hall".

I'd say Dylan's discography has so much worth checking out, but here are some essentials:

Everything up to and including Blonde on Blonde (the first 7).
From there, Nashville Skyline, New Morning (a personal fave), Planet Waves, The Basement Tapes, Blood on the Tracks, Desire, Oh Mercy, Modern Times.

I mean, it's still pretty daunting, but yeah I'd advise just to work through chronologically up to Blonde on Blonde and then skip along the less interesting/plain bad stuff.

Yesterday i heard Pere ubu for the first time and really liked it. What's the best album to get into his music?

Dub Housing is my favourite, but Modern Dance is also a good place to start.

Wow, that sure took you a while.
The Modern Dance and Dub Housing are probably the best albums to start out with. But since their style somewhat changed over the decades you should eventually check out the newer albums as well.

Oh yes, im listening to dubhousing right now and i can totally get into this.

Not my fault, i blame you Pere ubu fans who constantly praise them but hardly ever post their songs.

K', maybe it's a bit my fault, to be honest, i wasn't interested in Pere ubu until yesterday so i might have overlooked some post about them..
