Also get Blue Train, it's my favorite of the (five or six) Coltrane albums I've heard.

Where do I dive in with The Fall? That's one dauntingly large discography they've got.

What's a good place to start with Bootsy Collins' non-P-Funk work? Actually, for that matter, where the gently caress do I start with James Brown? That guy's body of work is staggering and he's obviously hugely important but I never much see any one or two classic albums attributed to his name.

Soylent Heliotrope posted:This probably comes up a lot but how about Harry Nilsson? I watched LCD Soundsystem's Shut Up and Play the Hits the other night and they played a cover of "Jump Into the Fire." I was impressed enough to go look up the original and hey, it's fantastic! I'm guessing Nilsson Schmilsson is the album to start with, as it's got that song on it and is the album with the most listeners on last.fm and rateyourmusic. However, Allmusic suggests that "Jump Into the Fire" sounds nothing like his other music- can I get away with just getting a best-of? Nilsson Schmilsson is a fantastic album and would be as good a place as any to start, but yes, it's an extremely diverse album. Everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach.

Recommendations for other (any?) EBM bands that have the aggression and punk intensity of Youth Code.

regulargonzalez posted:I haven't bought a hip hop album in literally decades and I feel like this is a huge blind spot in my musical tastes. So: Kanye. You can basically trace 2000s hip-hop through his body of work since he's typically either capitalizing on trends or starting them. So you can really pick pretty much anything since (in my opinion) it's almost all great (his last one was whatever, though). Yeezus might be a bit abrasive for a newcomer, though. MBDTF is the consensus masterpiece, and quite accessible, so it's as good a starting point as any. My pet Kanye album is Graduation, not because it's necessarily better than his others, but because it's a bit shorter (50 minutes) than most of his albums and more laid-back.

internet celebrity posted:As a big metal fan, Yeezus is what got me into Kanye (and thus hip hop as a whole) so it's not that bad of a place to start depending on who you are. Yeah, that's true, I have no idea what angle he's approaching this stuff from. I appreciate it for the same reasons.

The real reason not to start with Can when checking out Krautrock is that Can will absolutely ruin you for all the other bands under the Krautrock umbrella because they're loving perfect.
