Well at least you're honest, though if you want to avoid winding people up you probably shouldn't make enormous generalisations on an entire race's music.
You like John Peel? Great start, the man was brilliant, introduced a huge amounts of acts to the public, some obscure but some great pop acts like T-Rex, David Bowie, Pulp and my personal favourite The Smiths.
You seem like quite the englishman so Pulp's Different Class might be a good album.
Blondie - Parallel Lines
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The Cure - Head On The Door
and to destroy the black music stereotype, De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising.
That's just a few you could try.
