Expanding My Musical Horizons


I recently stumbled upon Karl Hyde's list of his top 20 albums from an interview he did with The Guardian in 1997. Being a huge Underworld fan, I've decided to go through and check out the ones I haven't heard/heard of. So far I'm really liking Black Uhuru. Captain Beefheart is pretty strange stuff, but I'm going to give it a few listens before I pass judgement.

The list:

  1. The Isley Brothers - 3 Plus 3
  2. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
  3. The Prodigy - Music For the Jilted Generation
  4. Kraftwerk - Computer World
  5. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica
  6. Ella Fitzgerald - The Cole Porter Songbook
  7. Black Uhuru - Red
  8. The Groundhogs - Split
  9. Toots and the Maytals - Reggae Greats
  10. Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa
  11. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
  12. Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
  13. The Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
  14. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Strictly Personal
  15. Goldie - Timeless
  16. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Deja Vu
  17. The Beatles - Revolver
  18. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
  19. Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
  20. Sly and the Family Stone - Fresh
