Classic albums any true music fan should own or at least listen to (lyrics, electronic)

Not really, just a bunch of good albums you dispise.

I don't really like Wolfmother and Deep Purple though.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 05-01-2007, 02:14 PM

Albums I don't like?

I OWN 27 of those , and thats not including the one I did have but sold.

I'm thinking The Mollusk or God Ween Satan by Ween. Lovely albums.

That list gets my seal of approval. Pink Floyd - Animals is also another top one that people should consider listening to.

Ornette Coleman-The Shape of Jazz to Come

Yaman436 · 05-19-2007, 05:53 PM

Expectations by Keith Jarrett. This is an absolute classic jazz album and should be in everyone's collection

Hi.
Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life
Elton John-Madman Across the Water
Queen- Any really
The Beatles- White Album
Chris Cornell-Euphoria Morning
Soundgarden-Superunknown

I'll make a few more suggestions since this list is somewhat woefully incomplete:

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (more or less the first fusion album)
i'll second Ornette Coleman - Shape of Jazz to Come
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (laid the foundation for post-rock)
Whitehouse - Erector (first power electronics album)
Throbbing Gristle - Second Annual Report of Throbbing Gristle (arguably first industrial album?)

I'll speak on what I know: HIP-HOP.

Eric B. & Rakim- "Paid in Full"(1987)
One of the most lyrically sound rap albums ever, with songs that influenced a generation of upcoming emcees.

A Tribe Called Quest-"The Low End Theory"(1991)
Laidback jazz rap that showed hip hop how to chill the f*ck out.

Public Enemy-"Fear of a Black Planet" (1990)
While many would go with "nation of millions," I say this album is superior. It contains more classic songs and is altogether more fresh sounding.

Dr. Dre- "The Chronic"(1993)
West coast G-Funk at it's finest.

Wu-Tang Clan- "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers"(1994)
Nine emcees come together to produce some of the grittiest, rawest hip hop ever.

De La Soul- "3 Feet High and Rising"(1989)
Surreal backpack rap with hippie overtones of peace, love, and harmony. Just a joy to listen to.

N.W.A.- "Straight Outta Compton"(1989)
The album that invented the Parental Advisory symbol.

Run DMC- "Raising Hell"(1986)
The first blending of rock and rap into an awesomely fresh package.

Beatie Boys- "License to Ill"(1986)
Super hype white-boy rap for all to enjoy.

NaS- "Illmatic"(1994)
In a time when rap was succumbing to the evil influences of the media, the Nasty one brought it back where it needed to be: to the streets.

The Notorious B.I.G.-"Ready To Die"(1994)
Without question some of the illest rhymes ever kicked, all off the top of the dome.

2Pac- "All Eyez On Me"
The thug poet's double LP masterpiece.

^^^^^
I would second ATRIBE CALLED QUEST-THE LOW ENDED THEORY great album with the bare minimum of instrumentation.

KRUDER & DORFMEISTER-THE K & D SESSIONS-a remix album may sound a strange one, but this is a perfect example of remixing-totally changing the soundscape of the original tracks, yet still making it perfectly accessible.
