heh, i first discovered them about four years ago when a friend put all the recipes i've ever ruined on a mixtape, and back then you had to be REALLY resourceful to find their albums even here in seattle, where they have a decent following. ;)
to be honest, i change my mind on which album is my favorite probably every few weeks -- they all should be bought immediately, which is no help at all. :)) there's just so much! personally, i love the first album (sometimes called "first tape"), but not everyone does -- it sounds quite different from what most people think of the lucksmiths, but it's still great pop. happy secret might be a good starting point, though, since it's a compilation of singles/compilation songs from the early era, so it's got a good breadth. same with where were we?, which covers 99 up right to before the chapter in your life entitled san francisco ep. after that - maybe go alphabetically? :))
