When trying out a new band or genre, what do you think is a good introductory album for the sort?
BANDS
Gorillaz: Demon Days
AC/DC: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Personally, I started with Back in Black. But I started the Bon Scott era with this album, and it was well worth it.
Def Leppard: Pyromania
Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell 2
Alice in Chains: Facelift
Alice Cooper: Billion Dollar Babies
Scorpions: Love at First Sting
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Kansas: No regular album. You'l have to start with The Best of Kansas.
Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited
The Beatles- Revolver
Queen- A Night at the Opera
The Rolling Stones- Let it Bleed
Pink Floyd- The Dark Side of the Moon
Genesis- Selling England by the Pound
The Who- Who's Next
Blur- Parklife
personally speaking, for getting into grunge I found it easier to start out with softer / more mainstream stuff like Down on the Upside, Jar of Flies, Superunknown, In Utero, and then branch out back to grunge's roots in metal w/ Dirt / Badmotorfinger. but that was just my approach, to each his own!
as for indie... well, it's difficult. but that "Cut Your Hair" track is SO DAMN CATCHY that Pavement might be a good start. Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, or maybe even the Shins could work, all three are pretty accessible w/o prior exposure to indie.

GENRES
Indie rock: Funeral
I think it should be "In the aeroplane over the sea" because it's really accesible and it takes few time to fully enjoy Funeral(at least to me) _________________ If you're feeling sinister, Go off and Listen to Indie Pop
Cymro2011The Beatles were objectively averageProfile In a deep, dark bubblegum graveyard
The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Velvet Underground - VU & Nico
The Brain Jonestown Massacre - Take It From The Man
The Black Angels - Passover
The answer to most of the band ones would probably be their most popular album.

Meh, Franz Ferdinand's self titled is far more accessible as far as "Indie" goes, but Funeral and ITAOS aren't horrible choices, they're just not good introductory albums to Indie.
Metal - Must be Black Sabbath
Southern Rock - The Allman Brothers Band
Manchester Indie - The Stone Roses (NOT Oasis PLEASE)
Grunge - Mudhoney
Paisley Underground - Dream Syndicate
Bands; If it's;
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
The Allman Brothers Band - Brothers & Sisters
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Mudhoney - Superfuzz Migmuff
Dream Syndicate - Medicine Show OR Days of Wine & Roses
