Very interesting list there. I'd be lying if I said I'd heard half of those albums, but the picks I know are more or less spot on - Sonny Rollins for '57 for instance.

I might just try and come back to this with my own list sometime soon...

Some nice choices there. I prefer The Shape of Jazz to Come to Kind of Blue as well... we also had Mingus Ah Um that year.

And I've been meaning to check out Foetus for the loooongest time - with such a charming name, how could I resist?

All three are utterly phenomenal, mind you.

I just got Timewind by Klaus Schulze, it'll be the first music I've heard by him. Have you heard that? It's just two really long tracks, I'm gonna listen to it soon.

That's a great choice. That band is very underrated, they should be as well-known as the Jesus Lizard, Big Black, Swans, etc, in my opinion. You don't often see them mentioned on here from what I've seen.

GravitySlips timewind is a mindblowing album without a doubt, i allso highly recomend cyborg but watch out this album has popped two sets of tweeters in my speakers

I look forward to looking at the albums I haven't. Most of them actually. I love this idea.
