Really interesting list, I've only heard 1 of those albums out of 130 unfortunately (Bob Dylan's Live 1966 Concert Bootlegs).

There's a lot of punk/garage rock that I want to look up on this list, such as The Modern Lovers, Pere Ubu, The Electric Eels, Bad Brains (who I can't believe I've never listened to), and The Homosexuals. I also am curious about that single by The Residents, they are great but I don't know that one.

Great list there but you'd expect that from wire really. Makes me wonder why I never buy the magazine.

There's lots there I haven't heard, especially the jazz and classical stuff.

I have heard about a handful of the albums on this list.

My favorite, without a doubt, is Joe Meek's "I Hear A New World." I remember the first time I heard that record.. It blew me away. It still does. Talk about innovative music..

Just downloaded these two from the list:



I've actually been meaning to check both of them out for a long time, I'm glad this list came along and gave me the nudge.

Oh, and by strange coincidence earlier this evening I also downloaded this album, based on a recommendation from elsewhere, which I just noticed is on the list too:

Robert Fripp - Exposure ...used to listen to that one a lot. Brilliant album.

Some of that stuff I've heard of, some of it I've heard other albums by the artist mentioned, most entries I don't know at all ... there are quite a few names on that list that I'd definitely want to check out at some point, Mark Stewart being first on the list. Well, if I can find it...
