Hi everyone.
I'm looking to increase my knowledge of music, especially of the past decade, I want to get a sense of the rise and fall of artists and genres and what music has been doing whilst I've only payed attention to those few things in those even fewer niches I really like. To that end I'd like to hear what albums you consider to be influential (so I can learn what has created most recent trends) innovative (to learn where new ideas have come from and what is being done on the cutting edge) and last but not least GOOD! (basically so it's listenable) I know endless debates about what is good or innovative etc can be had, hell, you can even argue what those very words mean! But regardless, please list any and all albums that you think qualify as good examples of the traits I mention. If you can think of albums that are quite arguably all 3, so much the better. Finally as I mentioned above the focus is on recent music BUT I will not say no to a good suggestion that's older, especially if you make a convincing case as to why it's worth listening to. Thanks guys! |

All among my favourites and all highly influential, albeit some in somewhat obscure niches. I'm afraid they are mostly pretty old. While music nowadays isn't worse than it used to be, it's way too fragmented to really make out influential albums. Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band – Trout Mask Replica Henry Cow - Legend Magma – Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Massacre - Killing Time Can - Monster Movie Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance This Heat - This Heat Naled City - Naked City Ornette Coleman - The Shape Of Jazz To Come Peter Brötzmann - Machine Gun Burzum - Filosofem King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden Talking Heads - Remain In Light Miled Davis - Bitches Brew The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music Roxy Music - Roxy Music Throbbing Gristle - The Second Annual Report Suicide - Suicide T. Rex - Electric Warrior Einstürzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch Television - Marquee Moon Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4 Hanatarashi - Hanatarashi Harry Partch - Delusion Of The Fury

Even though I don't like them as much, I think that Deceit and Transformer are both more influential than those two albums.

Ignore everyone here, Dirty Sprite 2 by Future is what you're looking for.

I really came on board late with Future but he really is something special. I think though he's one of the last voices of signicance in hip hop though. And I still say Earl has been given the final last words.

I've got to admit that I haven't listened to other Lou Reed albums in years. Might be time to give Transformer another chance.
