Essential Trip-Hop albums (hip-hop, psychedelic, rock, genre, Massive Attack)

I would say, like everyone else has said, anything by Tricky, Massive Attack and Portishead. Others I listen to is Tryad and Team Sleep.

The biggest issue with this genre is it's misslabeled by ALOT of people, from Myspace-made rappers thinking it's another form of hip-HOP to the "pros" at AMG who label it too The Chemical Brothers and Jamiroquai. The genre also is a hard one for a band to master if they plan on using it ALL THE TIME. Alot of bands will have a trip hop-esqe song, but never a full album.
