My personal favorites are "Treasure" and "Head Over Heels"...
If you get "Head over heels" on cassette (and maybe CD) then you also get 
"Sunburst and Snowblind"...

If you liked those, then "Garlands" is pretty good...it has some punk 
elements and is a big difference from their new stuff...again, if you get it 
on cassette, you get "John Peel Session, Jan 1983" which has some good 
songs.

"Blue Bell Knoll" has a sound similar to "Iceblink Luck" (the only one I've 
heard from "Heaven..."), so you could try it.

Or, if you want a kind of "sampler" of their stuff, check out "The Pink 
Opaque" which has stuff from different periods of the band's existence.

In my opinion, you can't miss if you buy ANY of their albums.
