Great ****ing list. Something that truly lets people branch off into the less appreciated side of influential music. Everything I've heard off of this list is a gem in its own special way.

I've heard about 20. There are a couple of names I've heard different albums from, so they don't count.

Heard: Steve Reich, Pearls Before Swine, The United States of America, Silver Apples, Kevin Ayers, Alvin Lucier, Cluster, John Cale, The Modern Lovers, Faust, Pere Ubu, Lou Reed, The Residents, Chrome, Nurse With Wound, Bad Brains, Royal Trux, Tony Conrad, Dead Can Dance, Labradford.

Really want to hear: Robert Fripp, Mark Stewart, Christian Marclay, Oval, Last Exit, Rachel's, and many more...

Very interesting list.

I think you'd like his music. Very listenable minimalism.

I'm happy The Dead C is on the list, but unfortunately I haven't heard that album.

Heard 23 of those and own another 3 that I've yet to listen to.

Best list I've seen in ages. I think I might have to work my way through it.

I've also heard Dancing in Your Head by Ornette Coleman. It's one of my favorite Coleman records, actually.

Of course I've heard Bad Brains self-titled. Again, I don't think this is a lost treasure. It's a treasure all right, but it was highly influential and remains popular today.

I also wouldn't say Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed was anything particularly good. Maybe it didn't deserve the critical bashing it got, because after all it was an experimental album, but I don't consider it a lost treasure as it was quite high profile to begin with.

Overall I think this list contained some interesting write ups and I'm looking forward to checking out some of them.
Agreed about Son House. He's my favorite blues musician.
