The only one you're likely to find easily is the classic Call of the West, but there are 5 other discs I know of.
Happy Planet is the album I seem to be least fond of, because I can barely remember what's on it. It's post-Stan Ridgway.
I think Dark Continent is a pretty cool album, if you like quirky stuff, although the production values aren't that high. It's a keeper, IMO.
Seven Days in Sammystown is another Stanless album, but I think it's not bad. There's a couple quality tracks on it.
The Ugly Americans in Australia is a live album. I'm pretty certain it lacks Stan, too. It's okay.
The Index Masters is really cool because it's got their earliest stuff, much of it in two versions: studio and live. I think it's a pretty solid album.
And don't forget that Stan did a number of solo albums, both under his own name and as Drywall with Pietra. Personally, I think the only standouts there are the early ones: The Big Heat, Mosquitos, and Partyball. The first two are pretty Stanard fare (pun intended), but the last one's got some
