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?

Levine and the MET, recommended by Learsfool, would be my recommendation, but if you are looking for the really extroverted chunks in big 'audiophile approved' sound there are probably better ones. But Levine is fundamentally an opera conductor which should suggest that he loves the music and adds some drama to his interpertations consonant with what is happening on the stage.

If you want the full operas - I'll have to pass on a recommendation. I haven't heard many more than once. :-)
