This is a tough one.   I have the G500 box set, and love it.   It is
definative, containing nearly everything they did, all releases, and some
neat live/demo stuff.   Galaxie 500 really affected my musical taste and
style.    I remember listenening to Today about 9 years ago, thinking that
it was okay to make music full of beauty, and not to be angry all the time.
 
But recently, I have discovered Felt via reccommendations of this list.   
I like what I hear, and see Felt as a closer musical cousin (Or bastard
step-child, more likes), to B&S.    I think the band woul dreccommend Felt.
Also, the G500 is re-mixed from the original studio albums.   I have some
of it on the original Rough Trade releases, and when re-mixing for the box
set, Mr. Kramer toned down some of the ethereal delays, much to my chagrin.
I hop ehtis completely confused the issue for you.
