All their albums have really good stuff.
Agreed. Some more than others. All Shook Down had some good tunes, for sure. The album before had three, maybe four. Both were pretty much Westerberg, however.

Start with Let It Be. If you don't like it, the Mats aren't for you. It's their most accessible album while still being raggedy. Then try Tim. If you like the shaggy dog vibe, then go to Hootenanny, Stink, and Sorry Ma I Forgot to Take Out the Trash. If you instead like the songwriting but think their sloppiness is a bit much, go check out Pleased to Meet Me instead, and avoid their early stuff. Under no circumstances should you listen to All Shook Down.

Hootenanny is my favorite Mats album, but it's an awful place for a new fan to start.

Tim
Let It Be
Pleased To Meet Me
All Shook Down
Don't Tell A Soul
Hootenanny
All For Nothing..Greatest Hits compilation & B-Sides
shite Hits The Fans
Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash
Boink/Stink EPs

That's all I can think of off top of my head. Also Westy's solo stuff contains bursts of greatness amongst it's fleas and lo-fi flaws. Stinson's Bash & Pop and solo not bad, and Slim Dunlap's solo album underrated.

For great bootlegs try FoshayTower and also Westerberg's Man Without Ties message board..
