I have only heard YOSHIMI, where should I go next? Not neccessarily the best. I can build up to that. I adore YOSHIMI though.

if u like that one try out soft bulletin, wdiely regarded as their best. some really pretty and at times heart-wrenching tunes on it!! also, just listneed to telepathic surgery today and loved it!! especially "hell's angel's cracker factory" !

but soft bulletin is just a gorgeous album. very pretty!

Expect early 80s jangly pop records. Some of the earlier stuff is a bit more punk influenced.

I don't think they really get the credit they deserve. They were doing the same sort of thing the Smiths did, only 4 years earlier.

You can't hide your love forever is their best album by a mile.

You should check out The Glasgow School too , It's a collection of all their early stuff.

The Soft Bulletin is the best record of theirs that I've heard. I haven't heard all their albums, though. I'd be surprised if they were able to really top it.

It depends how you define 'top it'

The Soft Bulletin was a huge change of direction , there's nothing really in the albums they did before that you could compare it to.

To be fair the Smiths did it better. I like the Soft Bulletin best.
