Shit worth listening to (before the whole industry was co-opted with crap music), in no particular order because I'm too lazy to use Word to alpha sort this, just going to type:
Gang of Four (particularly the album Entertainment!)
The Clash: London Calling and Sandinista!
Neu II (second album by Neu)
Can
Faust
Rage Against the Machine
Ramstein (that heavy German band)
The Minutemen
Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures
Hawkwind: In Search of Space
Live/Dead and Skeleton & Roses (when Pigpen was still in the band)
Black Sabbath: Masters of Reality
Earth
Sunn O (I forget how to spell it)
Om
This Heat
Sex Pistols
PiL (Second Edition)
Starless and Bible Black (deranged but taut King Crimson)
Chris Whitley (artist that big labels wanted to sign, and he said, "No, I'd rather do heroin")
Bless Its Little Pointed Head (an album title referring to penises! one of the few decently mixed Jefferson Airplane albums)
Soundgarden: Superunknown
Boris (you want the heavy albums, not the ambient ones; do some research)
The Boredoms (pretty much any album will fuck up your mind)
Flipper (the yellow cover)
Butthole Surfers
Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart (the one and only masterpiece)
Captain Beyond (1st album), killer band signed to the Allman Bros label that no one's ever heard of
Carcas: Symphonies of Sickness
anything by Clutch
Dub Trio: Another Sound is Dying
Fleetwood Mac: Then Play On (a beautiful, soulful, awesome record before the scum Buckingham and Nicks joined; DON'T buy the "extending version" with the two extra tracks by Danny Kirwan; DO make sure you get the version with Oh, Well parts One AND Two)
Fugazi
Future of the Left: Curses and Travels With Myself and Another (they have good videos on YouTube, too)
Jade Warrior: Last Autumn's Dream (another forgotten masterpiece)
there's more but it's time for lunch
now maybe some Jews were involved in making some of this music, I don't know; I suspect someone will say so, if true
Rage Against the Machine -one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager and in my early 20's, but now their lyrics are so cringe, I can't listen anymore.
Rammstein -one of my favorite bands of all time, too bad they're revealing themselves to be a bunch of lefty loons on the wrong side of history. I don't read anything about them anymore because I don't want my heart broken any further.
Black Sabbath: Masters of Reality -I do's likes me some Black Sabbath every now and then.
Butthole Surfers -everyone knows them from that one song they did, but they're a really good band that have some great songs. That one song they play on the radio all the time isn't even one of their better songs. Electriclarryland is one of my favorite albums of all time.
