Out to Lunch - Eric Dolphy
didn’t get on with it at all, and I’m a huge jazz lover. Ended up selling my copy.
lots of super niche suggestions here. Seems to me if we are talking about an album someone “must” own, then it should be an album that represents the apex of a genre or a turning point in the start of something new. Like Tubular Bells for example.
I’d probably end up suggesting no library would be complete without at least one of the first four led zeppelin album, they shaped a generation of rock music and likely influenced everything that followed them. The heavy blues and folk inspired tunes giving a route to market for bands like Black Keys and Jack White etc.
what about the birth of early electronic? Jean Michelle Jarre and Oxygene. Or later introductions from massive attack like Blue Lines, which again shaped things to come for years.
simply recommending something you “like” that you think others should like, doesn’t seem in the spirit of the task.
