Looking for Wagner recommendations


I'm a relative newbie when it comes to classical. I'm looking for some Wagner recommendations. Any suggestions on where to start?

I inherited about 150 classical albums.  I picked out everything by Wagner and tossed them out.  Don’t care what the music is like, he was a vile person and helped set the tone (no pun intended) for the Nuremberg Laws that inter alia prohibited Jews from working as musicians and even banning the performance of works written by Jews (including Mahler).  
I de-Nazified my music collection.  I encourage thinking people to do the same.  
As another user said, listening to Wagner for the music is like reading Mein Kampf for the quality of the prose.  Both were intended to justify hate and discrimination.
