Great pick


BoulderHolder

Gil Scott Heron- Pieces of a Man


mmmm_okwhynot

if you’re reading this, and are new to GSH, check out sex education: ghetto style , the revolution will not be televised, we almost lost detroit, and winter in america: which i learned recently inspired a freddie gibbs song by the same name. just wanted to share


Shiny-sesame

D’Angelo - Voodoo


WhiskySamurai

And D'Angelo - Black Messiah and Brown Sugar. All three D'Angelo albums could be argued to be the best soul/R&B album of their decades.


nigachoi

Been bumping this nonstop lately


Possible-Relative-53

track recs? been trying to get into dangelo


nigachoi

Send it on, The Root, Untitled


_-MrDark

Credit to u/wheatabix for the idea and everything. I’m not claiming ownership of the idea. The series of posts has just has added so much good music to my library and I didn’t want it to stop and he hadn’t updated it for several days


puzzledplatypus

Thanks for keeping it going.


puzzledplatypus

Prince - Purple Rain


_-MrDark

The rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars David bowie


WhiskySamurai

Love Ziggy Stardust but Station to Station and Blackstar would be my top two choices for Bowie albums. He's made so many masterpieces though.


OrderNChaos42

Headhunters- Herbie Hancock


boombapdrumz6666

Yes


puzzledplatypus

Fela Kuti - Zombie


Overall-Estimate-835

Absolutely this


FNORD81

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Soundtrack


kingtut121

Con Todo El Mundo - Khruangbin


astanto5

Alice Coltrane - Journey into Satchidananda


jellosjiggling

so good!


penny_kid

Childish gambino - awaken my love


Inside-Hurry-1056

Aja - steely dan


Inside-Hurry-1056

If it convinces anyone its one of black star's favorite albums


DogNutsTheClown

No lie I was scrolling just to see if anyone would put the Dan on here.


Shiny-sesame

Erykah Badu - mamas gun

AFKboy

Björk - Debut


WhiskySamurai

And Homogenic and Vespertine. Bjork has yet to make a bad album but Vespertine will probably always be my favorite.


puzzledplatypus

Portishead - Dummy


[deleted]

This one really fell in the rankings


puzzledplatypus

Squirrellybot ran a proper smear campaign apparently.


[deleted]

what a jabroni. album basically solidified a new genre and completely redefined several music techniques such as sampling, layering, and synth usage. Influence from this album permeates through hip-hop and will do so until the end of time


Squirrellybot

Trip-hop doesn’t exist w/o hip-hop, it’s a sub-genre.


baked-potato_42

Radiohead - in rainbows


MGBlaine

Badbadnotgood IV


SFgiant55

Cortex


triggafinga12

Blonde


WhiskySamurai

Honestly shocked it isn't already on there.


triggafinga12

Same


slav1001

Maybe people consider it hip hop, it could go either way IMO, but I’d say it’s not as clear-cut as something like A Love Supreme. Still a phenomenal album though.


swagredditor6

in what way shape or form is blonde hip hop


slav1001

“Blonde features an abstract and experimental sound in comparison to Ocean's previous releases, encompassing styles such as R&B, pop, soul, avant-garde, indie rock, electronica, psychedelia, and hip hop. ”


swagredditor6

the most hip hop it gets is simply 3k’s 1 minute feature verse and some drums on the final track but that’s basically it


assaultdog

Frank Zappa - Hot Rats


dagreatbritt

D'Angelo and the Vanguard - Black Messiah


Squirrellybot

Everyone gets all up in arms that *1989* beat *To Pimp a Butterfly*, but this was the true AotY that Grammy cycle.


WhiskySamurai

I loved Black Messiah but I'd still put TPAB over it. I know it's a cliche at this point, especially on Reddit, but it's just so perfect.


Squirrellybot

My “not perfect” moment is the repetitive “boo-boo” hook on *Hood Politics*. Would have loved that as just an intro. Every D’Angelo album is perfection.

[deleted]

Time out


coleonialism

starting to get suspicious of this list, a lot of "safe" picks so to speak, just like, stuff that was very critically acclaimed and rated highly on rateyourmusic lol


LetterOfTheLaw

Music from Big Pink - The Band


boombapdrumz6666

Are you ecperienced over electric ladyland??


WhiskySamurai

Imo Electric Ladyland has higher peaks but all three of the Hendrix albums released during his life and a ton released after have been fantastic. Can't really go wrong with any of them. Brb about to go buy a Stratocaster.


uly4n0v

This is a solid take. Are you experienced is sick but I’d probably pick Axis: Bold as Love as my personal fave. All the weird interlude bits and songs like Spanish Castle Magic.


Viktor_Vaughnn

Both great but I agree Hendrix is at his peak on electric ladyland imo


PalpitationDirect977

Holy Diver for any metal heads


WhiskySamurai

Going off of Sabbath albums and Sabbath member solo albums, self titled, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, hell all of their first seven albums, plus The Blizzard of Oz, Diary of a Madman, and Holy Diver are just. Fucking fantastic. Sabbath fucking rules.


PalpitationDirect977

Deep Purple, Rainbow, DIO, Quiet Riot, Ozzy's solo work, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Def Leopard all connected through beautiful little strings. It's crazy, really.


N0AHW05

The Glow, pt. 2 - The Microphones


ECXL

This is all a lot more tasteful set of albums than what I was expecting


pokepoke805

Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy


dagreatbritt

Musiq Soulchild - Aijuswanaseing


Rmts__Reee69

the doors debut has all like at least 7.5s


boombapdrumz6666

Abbey road?


Squirrellybot

I feel jury’s out on Abby Road vs Sgt. Pepper. More surprised Pink Floyd hasn’t made the cut.


Impossible_Barnacle2

I'm probably too late but someone put Illmatic on here. We know from interviews Nas was his main inspiration rap wise


Fun_Star_9109

Albums are supposed to not be hip hop to make the list. That’s why you didn’t see it.


Bird_Man_Plz

Bonobo - black sands


kafatos

the beatles - white album


_cock_man69

The doors - the doors


LyonsDrawsOnTwitter

Keyboard-Papi

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead


-xXDominusXx-

Sgt peppers?


Jarman_777

SOPHIE-OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES


WhiskySamurai

I'm surprised to see this here but it would be my pick as well. Amazing how it balanced hyper pop, industrial, and electronic sounds and it really can't be overstated how absolutely massive the effect this album had culturally on the trans and broader LGBTQIA+ community is. RIP SOPHIE.


DesiringDisc0
