Since this is supposed to be for newcomers, I used the singles/edited versions where available. They take away some of the amazing spacy/noise sections but make them a lot more immediate and accessible.
I made a You Tube video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8AFB81CB9D2B5E93
- "The Empty Page" | Murray Street
- "Teen Age Riot" | Daydream Nation
- "Sunday" | A Thousand Leaves

- "Candle" | Daydream Nation
- "Kool Thing" | Goo
- "Bull in the Heather" | Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
- "(I Got A) Catholic Block" | Sister
- "Hey Joni" | Daydream Nation
- "Expressway to Yr Skull" | EVOL
Starflyer 59. Grooveshark playlist here.
- Hazel Would | Silver
- Dual Overhead Cam | Gold
- A Holiday Song | The Fashion Focus

- Play the C Chord | Everybody Makes Mistakes
- All My Friends Who Play Guitar | Leave Here a Stranger
- Loved Ones | Underneath
- A Lists Go On | Talking Voice vs Singing Voice
- Lifeguard | My Island
- Minor Keys | Dial M
Arranged chronologically. So you can appreciate how their early stuff sound almost nothing like their later stuff.

But anyways: You should all listen to Laibach because they're such big IRL trolls that their encyclopedia Dramatica article has a reverent tone.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.So I heard. Any band that literally runs its own country is win, no matter what the music sounds like, so I'll just imagine they're ball-shatteringly awesome and move on... just kidding, I'll check them out.

last.fm | RYMSo, I've made another one, this time for The Mountain Goats. This was actually impossibly difficult. I've had to leave out a load of brilliant songs, but I think this was the best playlist I could come up with that was balanced, and served as a good introduction.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin. If a friend was interested in listening to your favourite band/artist, which tracks would you stick on a CD to get them started?
The CD must be no more than 10 tracks long. You can either include your 10 personal favourites or the 10 tracks that you think would get someone into this band/artist who had no prior knowledge of them.
Bonus points awarded if you can make a playlist and provide a link to it.
I'll take some time to think about mine before posting it and see if this takes off in the meantime .
GO!
