Young team

And then all the rest


Rock Action

The all the rest....


Happy Songs

For Happy People is a good place to start.

Yes, then all the rest.


Come on Die Young

Then all the rest


Mr Beast

Then all the rest.

(Happy Songs for Happy People really)


hmmmm-

Maybe it would be better for me to ask where not to start, any albums that i should,nt buy?


Ten Rapid

or Young Team


Young Team's incredible!

I wouldn't bother with Mr Beast until you've got the rest though.


As is Ten Rapid

But yeah, Mr Beast is the weakest album I think.


You could live without

Kicking A Dead Pig.


I'd save

Kicking a dead pig (remix album) and the Zidane soundtrack til last. All the others are essential though. I'd start with Come On Die Young...


EP+6

has a good variety on it, its maybe a bit soft overall but it has some heavier ones in the middle. Its not technically an album, but its ten tracks long and I would still call it my favourite moggers album.


start with

the first album and work your way through chronologically.its the only way to do it.my favourite album by them is rock action but thats just me.however, type "you dont know jesus" into youtube and watch the live videos of that song.its my favourite mogwai song.its magical :)


Rock Action

Mr Beast
Happy Songs
Young Team
Come On Die Young
fanaticism


Cheers Guys

Im gonna do some big purchasing/downloading after work in this case


Government Commissions

One of the greatest "best of" albums ever with a good mix (Apart from under representing Rock Action)from young team until happy songs and especially in the case of Helicon 1 these are definitive versions.


^damn

exactly what I would say- aside from that, rock action is the easiest 'proper' album to get into, tho they're all good.


The version of R U Still In To It?

is absolutely incredible as well.

God I love Mogwai


the only thing that annoyed me about government commissions

was the fact there was no "you dont know jesus" :(:(:(


^^^^^^^^^

I think it's my favourite Mogwai CD. Superheroes of BMX and Like Herod make my knees go stupid.
