I've got Roman Gods and Hexbreaker. Can someone suggest 2 or 3 other Cd's I should look into? According to AMG they released a new one this year.

If you could only have two, I think you've got the best two right now, though most anything they do is pretty darn good. Wish Hexbreaker and Roman Gods would make it to CD.

I was going to suggest the Greatest Hits disc "Living Legends" then I noticed it was $79.99 used on Amazon:

Wish I saw them earlier, but I did get to catch them once in the early 90's at Ron Wood's old club in downtown NYC. What great energy they had live!

They still play live occasionally in NYC.

I am a big fan. Their IRS material is unquestionably their finest, so anything else you can pick up, even on vinyl, is worth it - Up Front, the fabulous live "Speed Connection II."
Fleshtones vs. Reality is also very good, but hard to find. "Angry Years" is a collection of demos from the immediate post-IRS era that is low on fidelity but high on energy and has some real gems. It too is hard to find (we are noticing a pattern?).
While none of their other stuff quite measures up to the IRS material (they really suffered the loss of Marek Pakulski and Gordon Spaeth from the line up), you can pick up a lot of it for cheap, and some of it is not without some quality songs. You could spend $2 on a cup of coffee or "Beautiful Light" from the bargain bin for example.
