You only need them to understand the backstory of Rincewind/The Wizards.
For literally any other book in the series, it does not make the slightest difference whether you read the first two.
Starting with Guards! Guards! and reading the Watch series is my recommended start as well, though I am not averse to suggesting Moist von Lipwig. Or Small Gods, which can stand alone very well, and is my hands-down favorite.
