I saw them open for Dino Jr. & My Bloody Valentine back in 1992 as a replacement for Babes in Toyland (who dropped off the tour in the wake of Joe Cole's murder). They totally blew me away and I had never heard anything of theirs before that.
I actually happen to think they're one of the few examples of a band whose best work came after they signed to a major. The SST-era stuff is good, but I happen to think both Uncle Anesthesia and Sweet Oblivion are superior (never heard the final album, Dust).

I must disagree. I LOVE Invisible Lantern (though I've never heard their other SST albums, honestly) and also had Uncle Aenesthesia but didn't like that nearly as much or didn't play it nearly as much at least. "Bed of Roses" is a phenomenal song, though.
Where would you start with Lanegan solo (open question)?

I think their albums from Invisible Lantern through the final one have held up quite well.

I love Lanegan, I've probably said this many times around here. The guy can do no wrong, AFAIAC.
My fave solo album of his is "Bubblegum" I would say to start with "Whiskey for The Holy Ghost" & then "The Winding Sheet" His recent one "Blues Funeral" is great and his all covers album from last year "Imitations" is still in my regular playlist. He put out a Best-of this year "Has God Seen My Shadow" that has a pretty good career selection plus some B-Sides & that's cool. His cover of "Big White Cloud" is amazing. For JGJR I think you would really like his albums with Isabel Campbell. The first one is OK but "Hawk" and "Sunday at Devil Dirt" are fantastic.
For Screaming Trees, I love "Sweet Oblivian" but the SST stuff is great "Clairvoiance" & "Buzz Factory" are my favs of the early stuff. His live show has been great these last few years since he''s been clean. He's always great with Greg Dulli in The Gutter Twins. Those are great records also. I can go on all day about Mark......I believe his new album album is dropping soon.....
