Where to start with Minutemen, fIREHOSE and Mike Watt?

Sign in to disble this ad
I got Mike Watts "Secondmans middle stand" album and i absolutly love it! I want to look more into him and his previous bands. Where should i start and with which titles? Which are the classics? Been reading alot about the minutemen album "Double nickels on the dime"(?).

Where should i start with these bands and what album can i look next into with Watts solo albums?

I'd give the nod to the fIREHOSE album If'n. Tasty, tasty bass lines.

"Double Nickels On The Dime" is where it's at.
