the "various failures 1988-1992" comp. is by far the most accessible you're going to get from them (that and "the burning world" i guess.) you're good with starting at "children of god" and then going to the early stuff, just don't miss out on the latter stuff either. "white light...", "the great annihilator", and the "swans are dead" live album are my favorites (and the swans at the peak of their powers imo.)
all of their albums are at least good, honestly.
