I have fond memories of "Battle..." since it was the first I heard of RATM. I always knew the name, but I used to classify bands by the people who wore their t-shirts, so I never gave them a chance. As far as Gish goes, great buy also. It didn't take long for Smashing Pumpkins to go downhill, so you are better off with the earlier stuff.
