Maybe it was that fateful borrowing of This is What you Want... that really killed off the interest, but as now the memory is only a small part of my growing up today, maybe the others can be a good ride.
And, yes, "Don't Ask Me" is one of those singles that sparked up the ears.

As far as albums as a whole go, Album/Cassette/Compact Disc is one that gets a bit overlooked by most fans I've come across, and's very good stuff overall. Their last album, That What Is Not, is pretty decent too. Happy and 9 have some good songs spread out over them, but I found them to be a bit inconsistent overall. Worth hearing at least though.
I do agree that the first three are the best though. Music doesn't really get a lot better than Metal Box and Flowers in particular for me.
