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.

Bent Out of Shape is a tune which easily could have fit in Pleased To Meet Me. Easily.

If intending it not an Replacements album, I agree, it's the first unofficial Westy solo disc. But, it is a damn fine album sans the totally awful collaboration with Johnette Napolitano..two of my fav singers from the 80s..just an atrocious tune though.
