And anyone else here a fan?
I'd start with Flood. It's their most well known and beginner friendly.Any recommendations on what album of theirs I should buy, been meaning to check them for ages now.

It has a few of their bigger songs. Birdhouse, Particle Man, Istanbul.
They are playing a TINY venue in Eugene 500 capacity. They're also playing in Portland, but I'd rather see them in a venue that's the equivalent to a living room. I've seen them 5 or 6 times over the last more years than I care to admit. (Let's say Flood was pretty new the first time.) They always put on a fun show that leaves me in a good mood for the next week or so.Big fan here of TMBG. Met them a number of years back when they released a children's book with CD. Great guys. I kept the book until I had children and now my kids are fans as well.
They just don't stop producing material and touring. Not unlike Moz in that respect.
Like g23 mentioned, they just kicked off a big tour with a new album.

Apollo 18 is pretty great, but really dive in anywhere. You'd be hard pressed to find a band with a bigger catalog of songs.Any recommendations on what album of theirs I should buy, been meaning to check them for ages now.

The mental association was made in the way you thought. When I first heard Darkened Corridors, I thought it was funny, and it sounded like gentle fun being poked at Morrissey. I wouldn't say it was sung in the tune of as much as an approximation of the style of.Darkened Corridors... An odd reference g23. The last time I heard the reference (with respect to Moz) was when I engaged in an online discussion waaay-back in the day on the pre-interwebs Usenet alt.groups with another TMBG fan. That person argued that the song was sung in the tune of Moz. I didn't feel that way at the time but later, must admit it does sound like a poor-impression of Morrissey, both in tone and topic
I must ask how/why you came to use the reference?
