my 2 favs are interstellar discussion (mid 80's) and his first album ready for the house ('78). interstellar is heavy, really dark abrasive blues with complete band (member, members questionable) while ready for the house is more open, loose avant-blues. i honestly would never say go pick up one jandek album because they are all pretty varied. there are vocal only albums, some solo piano... etc. his catalogue is very uneven, but if you get into him your into him in ways that are going to haunt you the rest of your life...
