Admit it. Some of you 80s fanatics out there who probably still don't really know (and to know is to love) the music of They Might Be Giants.

The "Two Johns" hit St. Petersburg tonight for a show at Jannus Landing. Stuck in the 80s guest host Stephanie Hayes and I interviewed John Linnell for our TMBG podcast and wrote up a story for today's newspaper. Both the podcast and story make for a good beginner's guide to the band. (Click here to read the story.)

Now that you're hooked on their quirky personality, you'd probably like some music. But where to start?

Thanks to the brilliant minds of those behind the incredibly useful fan website This Might Be A Wiki, here's a list of the tunes rated highest by members of the site. So if you're just getting to know this band, start with these:

FIVE TMBG SONGS FOR NEW FANS:

1. Birdhouse in your Soul: Their highest-charting song, it's a tune about a child's night light.

2. Ana Ng: Their first big hit in 1988, written after picking out a popular name from the New York phone book.

3. Don't Let's Start: Lyrics were chosen solely because they fit the correct number of syllables for the melody.

4. Doctor Worm: About a worm - not a doctor - learning to play drums. A staple for most live performances.

5. They'll Need a Crane: Performed on Late Night with David Letterman in 1989 during the band's TV debut.
