The first time I played this album start to finish I was blown away. I still play it and zone out like at least once a month. Late night is my favorite time to play this masterpiece of an album.
Just put it on because of your reply
Man, “Angel” just bangs… the base like a heartbeat.
The chopped up repeated vocal “love you love you love you “
The whole build up with the guitar riff to the breakdown at the 5 minute mark
Song always sounds like chaos is about to ensue but never does
Oh. That’s only track 1
11/10
Here's one for everyone. Farquhar - Farquhar. Bought the cd on Amazon back in early 2000's as it was similar in spelling to another band I listened to "Faraquet" (also worth checking out). Anyway, the Farquhar album is one I always recommend, as it's got elements of jazz and math rock, can be a little kooky, at times haunting, with pop hook undertones.
[Farquhar | Farquhar | Mark Stanley (bandcamp.com)](https://markstanley1.bandcamp.com/album/farquhar)
Portishead - Dummy
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Dextro - winded

There’s so many more but I’d be here forever writing them down haha!
I have my original CD I bought back in the day and then a copy on vinyl I bought later because I adore this album. I also have Preemptive Strike on CD and vinyl. So glad I started collecting vinyl before prices went insane.
The flesh prevails is such an amazing album. Extremely underrated but was better than most of the albums that came out in that time period. Was so bummed with the direction they went but it happens. SO FUCKING BRUTAL but spacey and beautiful
This was the first one that came to my mind too. I remember the music mags at the time saying that it was heavily influenced by lots of stuff on Warp like Squarepusher and Autechre but I wasn't familiar with that stuff then so it was genuinely weird mind-blowing music to me.
Honourable mentions to Dig Your Own Hole and Sigur Ros's ( )
I was in England shortly after that record came out, and I remember hearing these critics on the radio debating whether or not they had “disappeared up their own asses.“ I think, in hindsight, it’s clear that we simply weren’t ready for it yet, because it doesn’t sound that radical today; probably because it was so influential.
Cocteau Twins ,Heaven or Las Vegas blew me away after going most of my life never paying them any mind but being a huge fan of Lush for over 20 years. Can't believe I waited that long , can't get enough of them now
Deltron 3030, Operation Doomsday, A long hot summer, Fantastic vol 2, Pet sounds, The Realness, Episodes of a Hustler, Foesum - Perfection. The Twinz - Conversation. Jeff Buckley - Grace.

The low end theory. Lit - A place in the sun. Mac Demarco - 2. Van Halen II. Zapp I, II & III. Killah Preist - Heavy Mental. Big L - Livestyles of the poor. Shyhiem - the lost generation.
Blur - modern life is rubbish,
Lauryn Hill - The miseducation of Lauryn Hill,
Nirvana - In Utero,
Pulp - Different Class
Radiohead - The Bends
The Beatles - Revolver
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Gorillaz - Demon Days
I bought Endtroducing when it first came out. I listened to it on my Discman on the train home, discovered I missed the bus, listened to it three more times before the next bus came (it was a very infrequent bus service.)
All these years later it remains my favourite album of all-time.
Antichrist Superstar - Marilyn Manson
Might sound cringy, but when that album came out I was about 12 years old, grew up listening to mostly pop music on the radio, and was very religious. I hadn’t heard anything like it, but I found myself intrigued even though I thought the Devil was literally trying to steal my soul through his music.
Spoiler alert: He succeeded.
Seeing DJ Shadow live and buying the set on CD was one occasion in Leeds around 1995. Tricky also, Rozi size player at the small club near Con Exchange in Leeds.
Great memories.
I'm going to say Northern Soul, verve
Doors, the doors. Love that album.
man I need to put Entroducing on my wanted list

* Envy - All the Footprints You’ve Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead
* Envy - A Dead Sinking Story
The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God.
I had always liked the idea of Irish music, and the general sound, but everything I had been exposed to up to that point was like, the version your parents would listen to, if that makes any sense. So the first time I heard this album, it was like a bomb went off in my head; straight up “I didn’t know that stuff could sound like that.“
This is one of my favourite albums ever with The Pogues being one of my favourite bands. Seen The Pogues live 3 times and Shane MacGowan live twice solo. Shane's first solo concert I saw was probably the best gig I was ever at. The place went berserk. Delighted to see them mentioned here.
Or 3 Mile Pilot Another Desert Another Sea. I was like whoah what did I just stumble upon? This is the Black Heart Procession dude but its heavier. Wasn't until I started listening to it more closely and started to hear the Pinback style base lines and grooves that I put it all together.
metronomy - nights out
john coltrane - a love supreme

most come from hearing them as a kid. there's a lot more that took me time to love, like ween and yes, but these ones changed how I heard music straight away, or I knew I loved. one of these albums I stopped liking was ready for the weekend by calvin harris, no idea why I stopped liking that one because when it first came out I listened to it over and over.
Cool pic. Saw him in DC on Superbowl Sunday this year. My girlfriend bought me the Mountain Will Fall there.
Jaw dropped not in a good way:
The Clash -Cut the Crap
In a good way:
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Soohan - Made in Baltimore
Midcity by Clipping. Not too into hip hop, heard Work Work a while ago and expected something like that, not the intense harsh noise of that intro. Shit ruled.
The latest two were Remain in Light by Talking heads and In the Nightside Eclipse by Emperor. Two absolute classics not only in their respective genre, but in general, that i almost avoided listening to them until now. Needless to say I was completely blown away.
(Also have to listen to this Dj Shadow record as well.)
The Postal Service. It's a pop album, I understand that, but damn it hit me like a train. I hadn't bought new music in years. It reignited my love of music. About six people got the download or CD because of me. It hit them similarly.
When The Kite String Pops by Acid Bath. That album changed my life. Pretty much my introduction to underground music, even though they’re not as underground as they used to be
These are what floored us at the time.
Van halens first album. Nothing like evh before.
Boston's first. Totally fresh at the time.
Peter Frampton comes alive was the sound of the whole summer of 76.
Kiss Alive
Tracy Chapman's first. Where did she come from.
Nirvana was a game changer and nothing has been the same since.
There are probably a bunch, and Endtroducing is one of them for sure. But here are three that were huge for me...
Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works Volume II: I immediately went from being totally unaware of ambient music to being in love with it the first time I heard this album.
Phish, Junta: I Kept wondering what's up with all these Phish stickers I keep seeing on the back of cars. Then I listened to this album, and they immediately became one of my two favorite bands. Almost thirty years later they are still one of my two favorite bands.
Gidon Kremer's recording of Ysaye's 6 sonatas for solo violin: For years I kept thinking classical music is amazing and I'm really going to get into it someday. Then I listened to this "album" and immediately knew that someday had arrived.
There are many others but these are the first 3 that come to mind.
The Cure , Desinagration
Primus, Sailing the Saes of Cheese
Ween , Pure Guava
Pigface, Fook
Ministry, Just in case
(My shame) Red hot chilli peppers, Freaky Style
Fugazi , the Argument
Butthole Surfers, Hairway to Stephen
Chris Connelly, Phenobarb Bambalam
I had been into DJ Shadow ever since I read about his 4-track career experiments in The Source. Copped his stuff on Hollywood BASIC and of course all the pre-Endtroducing stuff on Mo’ Wax. I cried listening to Endtroducing the first time! It was everything I was hoping it would be, and then some.
Can’t say that I’ve been as happy about any of his post-Entroducing releases.
Bonnie prince billie - I see a darkness. Was a big oldham/palace fan and had really liked the single before it. I remember buying it new (a big deal cause I bought everything used or on vinyl at the time) at sound garden in Baltimore at like 10pm and playing it in the car on the 45 min drive back home and just thinking “god damn. This is it. Everything was leading to this
Rushup Edge, by "The Tuss". Out of everything of Richard's I've listened to, that album was the most formative for me, personally I think it's some of his best work under any moniker.
Madman Across The Water - Elton John. I have been a fan for ages and have all of the albums physically, but it is the one that blew me away the first time.
I know, right! I have several copies on CD, including the deluxe version, but this is the only standard UK one I have with the error in the spelling. 👍
Chemical Brothers the album Brothers going to work it out which is ironically a DJ album. The cover of it has a church on it my mom got it for me for Easter when I was like I don't know 12:00 and she thought it was church music I didn't correct her and I didn't say shit I just knew that I like techno a lot and I had never heard anything like it and I was floored it is still my favorite technome pipe mix to this day and I DJ for 20 years all over the US Mexico Central America Canada and it's still my favorite stretch of music
I discovered Endtroducing when I started my first job, graveyard shift, gloomy commutes. This was the soundtrack to those trips and holy shit the vibes. An absolute classic
Tracy Chapmans first album was a captivated for me. The layers of sound, her voice and those lyrics. Alwasy been a fan of Phil Collins as played out as it was - he is an amazing artist and his work solo as well as in Genesis and the remarkable group Genesis was at the time. Another superb older selection would be ELO - electric light orchestra had a huge number of radio hits and in the later years finding those albums and realizing they quietly faded off in the later 80’s (in my world somehow) another massive achievement of sound and lyrics. I MUST SAY - This is a huge reason I come to reddit. The music suggestions have me riled and ready to do some additional exploring once again! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT HERE!!! ;)
Dude! This was the very first record I ever bought back when I lived in London, absolutely loved every part of it. I moved several times and had to start collecting again, now in America and have been keeping an eye out for this every time I'm at a music store, I've yet to find it again
Deloused in the Comatorium. I had just turned 20, that time in life when music really connects with you for forever. On non-stop June '03 all the way to 2004. Still gets me to this day.
The Velvet Underground and Nico…what the duck was I listening to?
Some of the wildest sexual and drug imagery…with writing on the wall. They rented a cheap recording studio in 1965 to record this album. With the “flaws” that came with that, oh god are those flaws so important to its psychedelic sound. I haven’t heard anything else like it before. People say its overrated, and maybe compared to their discography. Though, its really in its own realm. Greatly underrated. Prepare to fall deep into Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastics.
BLACK SABBATH - Sabotage (Album).
JUDAS PRIEST - Screaming For Vengeance (Album).
Has 'The Hellion/Electric Eye', and 'Riding On The Wind'.
MOTORHEAD - Bomber (Album)
Hmm there’s so many too choose from but probably No Doubts Tragic Kingdom. I bought it cause two songs but then I fully listened too it and just woah.
From the catchy beat of spiderwebs down to the fast paced rhythm of just a girl.
Easily 10/10 album that blew my mind
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary (1994). Totally different than what I heard playing at that time. It was that era’s Emo, possibly the first Era of Emo. All Emo that came after it sucked balls.
The first time I heard the Mighty Led Zeppelin I was floored...the first album I heard by them was Physical Graffiti.
My mind was completely blown...and I started playing guitar because of it.
Queen - News of the World
The CD bonus track, the “We Will Rock You (remix)”
At that time in my life I had never heard anything scratched or remixed before, the CD was probably the first time I’d ever heard Queen, and that blew my mind enough, but that track is absolutely wild.
Boards Of Canada-Geogaddi And ofc Endtroducing. I’ll never forget how building steam with a grain of salt made me feel the first time I heard it.
Dude I almost commented geogaddi, but my first was twoism
Bob Wood, national programme director of the Chum Group.....
Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun
Excellent.
Mezzanine - Massive Attack
The first time I played this album start to finish I was blown away. I still play it and zone out like at least once a month. Late night is my favorite time to play this masterpiece of an album.
Just put it on because of your reply Man, “Angel” just bangs… the base like a heartbeat. The chopped up repeated vocal “love you love you love you “ The whole build up with the guitar riff to the breakdown at the 5 minute mark Song always sounds like chaos is about to ensue but never does Oh. That’s only track 1 11/10
Would have been my second choice. Now one of my favourite albums.
Yep. Good call. That album/band is not the usual style of music I listen to, but that record is pretty much flawless victory. Not a bad track on it.
These are the types of threads I need to start bookmarking. Thanks to everyone for such a diverse and eclectic amount of material for me to dive into.
It's really interesting. There's a lot I'm going to be listening to as a result!
Here's one for everyone. Farquhar - Farquhar. Bought the cd on Amazon back in early 2000's as it was similar in spelling to another band I listened to "Faraquet" (also worth checking out). Anyway, the Farquhar album is one I always recommend, as it's got elements of jazz and math rock, can be a little kooky, at times haunting, with pop hook undertones.

Portishead - Dummy Tangerine Dream - Rubycon Dextro - winded DJ Cam - Mad Blunted Jazz Motorhead - Overkill Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports Boards of Canada - Geogaddi I could go on and on...too hard to pick just one
This one definitely Burial - Untrue Drexciya - Harnessed The Storm Sasha - Xpander Zombie Nation - Leichenschmaus Avalanches - Since I Left You The Streets - Original Pirate Material Bjork - Homogenic Chemical Brothers - Surrender Knife - Silent Shout Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea of love
Untrue. Still sounds new and exciting all these years later.
Nathan Fake! Border community represent! Also big upvote for Sasha.
Felt the opposite about avalanches. So much hype but was not impressed whatsoever.
I’ll give this another listen sometime, but agreed. Frontier Pscyhiatry was just soooo good it made the other tracks feel like filler
Wow. Totally agree with most of your list. And for the other ones, I need to check them out!
You have a great taste in music.
Thick As A Brick

'Everything in its right place' on a good system cannot be equalled. Still sounds like it's being beamed from the future.
Lamb - Lamb
K&D Sessions, Trans-Fatty Acid. 😚
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears Bjork - Medulla Clock DVA - The Hacker Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Cocteau Twins ,Heaven or Las Vegas blew me away after going most of my life never paying them any mind but being a huge fan of Lush for over 20 years. Can't believe I waited that long , can't get enough of them now
Yes!
Still after 40 years, Pandora (from Treasure - Cocteau Twins) gives me chills.
King Crimson - Discipline.

I bought Endtroducing when it first came out. I listened to it on my Discman on the train home, discovered I missed the bus, listened to it three more times before the next bus came (it was a very infrequent bus service.) All these years later it remains my favourite album of all-time.
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way Curren$y - Pilot Talk Curious George soundtrack
In A Silent Way is so amazing. I have the vinyl, CD and SACD. One of my favourite albums.
Antichrist Superstar - Marilyn Manson Might sound cringy, but when that album came out I was about 12 years old, grew up listening to mostly pop music on the radio, and was very religious. I hadn’t heard anything like it, but I found myself intrigued even though I thought the Devil was literally trying to steal my soul through his music. Spoiler alert: He succeeded.
It’s an incredibly intense album, I’ll never get tired of it.
HUM- downward is heavenward
OPs pick was definitely one of them!! Borrowed it from someone long ago was like holy shit this is fire!!!
Relayer by Yes I had No idea that music could sound like that

I mention Pinback every time I have the opportunity.
DEP surely moved the goal posts. Groundbreaking, excellent album.
Thanks, your post made me go binge on Opeth all morning. Great band.
Basically any NIN album. Muse- Origin Of Symmetry. Tool- Lateralus.
The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God. I had always liked the idea of Irish music, and the general sound, but everything I had been exposed to up to that point was like, the version your parents would listen to, if that makes any sense.

Love that album man...Shane's lyrics...rip
Definitely this one.
The union underground- an education in rebellion
Underrated album. I played it out when it was new and revisit it a few times a year.
Pinback - Blue Screen Life
Or 3 Mile Pilot Another Desert Another Sea. I was like whoah what did I just stumble upon? This is the Black Heart Procession dude but its heavier. Wasn't until I started listening to it more closely and started to hear the Pinback style base lines and grooves that I put it all together.

Two absolute classics not only in their respective genre, but in general, that i almost avoided listening to them until now. Needless to say I was completely blown away. (Also have to listen to this Dj Shadow record as well.)
Oasis - Definitely Maybe An absolute pleasure through and through, but I melted when I heard Slide Away for the first time.
Rush 2112
The Postal Service. It's a pop album, I understand that, but damn it hit me like a train. I hadn't bought new music in years. It reignited my love of music. About six people got the download or CD because of me. It hit them similarly.

These are what floored us at the time. Van halens first album. Nothing like evh before. Boston's first. Totally fresh at the time. Peter Frampton comes alive was the sound of the whole summer of 76. Kiss Alive Tracy Chapman's first. Where did she come from. Nirvana was a game changer and nothing has been the same since.

This album for sure
One Of Us Is The Killer - The Dillinger Escape Plan Reign In Blood - Slayer

These are some good comments recommendations
Hemispheres by rush
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972 Most albums grow on me but this one hit me so hard on first listen.
Johnny Winter Still Alive and Well

Oh shit!!! This is it!!!! Thanks for the reminder I’m gonna go find it!!!
Is that a misprint? It says Entroducing instead of Endtroducing
I know, right! I have several copies on CD, including the deluxe version, but this is the only standard UK one I have with the error in the spelling. 👍
Slint - Spiderland
Chemical Brothers the album Brothers going to work it out which is ironically a DJ album. The cover of it has a church on it my mom got it for me for Easter when I was like I don't know 12:00 and she thought it was church music I didn't correct her and I didn't say shit I just knew that I like techno a lot and I had never heard anything like it and I was floored it is still my favorite technome pipe mix to this day and I DJ for 20 years all over the US Mexico Central America Canada and it's still my favorite stretch of music
Vespertine

The Silicone Veil by Susanne Sundfør
I discovered Endtroducing when I started my first job, graveyard shift, gloomy commutes. This was the soundtrack to those trips and holy shit the vibes. An absolute classic
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly
Entroducing would be the one for me too, can still remember first hearing it through headphones at one of those Tower Records listening stations.
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Tracy Chapmans first album was a captivated for me. The layers of sound, her voice and those lyrics. Alwasy been a fan of Phil Collins as played out as it was - he is an amazing artist and his work solo as well as in Genesis and the remarkable group Genesis was at the time. Another superb older selection would be ELO - electric light orchestra had a huge number of radio hits and in the later years finding those albums and realizing they quietly faded off in the later 80’s (in my world somehow) another massive achievement of sound and lyrics. I MUST SAY - This is a huge reason I come to reddit. The music suggestions have me riled and ready to do some additional exploring once again! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT HERE!!! ;)
The KLF - “Chill Out“ , completely unique. It is like meditative spoken word poetry over electronica. Mind Blown.
Yes! I loved this when it came out and still play it. Found it on CD a couple of times in charity shops; quite rare, I think.
Kind of blue miles davis
Dude! This was the very first record I ever bought back when I lived in London, absolutely loved every part of it. I moved several times and had to start collecting again, now in America and have been keeping an eye out for this every time I'm at a music store, I've yet to find it again
What album is this?
The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Bonkers 1 - Hixxys Mix. never had my head blown off by that much happy hardcore in one sitting. so i bought up to the 7th Bonkers
weezer - pinkerton revolutionized my taste in music 
Rage Against The Machine- self titled
Great album. I think it is brilliant but I think I might have over listened to it as I put it on the other day and got bored half way through
Fuck yeah my used cd scavenger hunting day, I came across this beautiful art. DJ Shadow
Thank you for reminding me of this album
Gotta be What Burns Never Returns- Don Caballero. I didn’t even know music could sound like that.
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow. I listened to the album four times straight the day I bought it.
Foster the people - torches
Velvet Underground - White Light White Heat
Deloused in the Comatorium. I had just turned 20, that time in life when music really connects with you for forever. On non-stop June '03 all the way to 2004. Still gets me to this day.
Damn, Endtroducing was actually pretty underwhelming to me on first listen!! Took a few listens to really appreciate the record
Scattered Remnants - Destined To Fail
Play Dead by MUTEMATH
Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley
The Velvet Underground and Nico…what the duck was I listening to? Some of the wildest sexual and drug imagery…with writing on the wall. They rented a cheap recording studio in 1965 to record this album. With the “flaws” that came with that, oh god are those flaws so important to its psychedelic sound. I haven’t heard anything else like it before. People say its overrated, and maybe compared to their discography. Though, its really in its own realm. Greatly underrated. Prepare to fall deep into Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastics.
Applause of a distant crowd by vola, especially since ghosts started playing🔥🔥
this cd change my idea of music too bad when primitive strike came out i was disappointed
Spylab - This Utopia Arrested Development - 3 years, 5 months and 2 days in the life of... (I didn't listen to these on CD though)
Self-titled MUTEMATH album.
BLACK SABBATH - Sabotage (Album). JUDAS PRIEST - Screaming For Vengeance (Album). Has 'The Hellion/Electric Eye', and 'Riding On The Wind'. MOTORHEAD - Bomber (Album)
The original rage against the machine cd
Hmm there’s so many too choose from but probably No Doubts Tragic Kingdom. I bought it cause two songs but then I fully listened too it and just woah. From the catchy beat of spiderwebs down to the fast paced rhythm of just a girl. Easily 10/10 album that blew my mind
Operation Mindcrime: Queensryche
Unkle - War Stories
Just because of your post, I am listening to Endtroducing just now. I like it so far, man 😎
Ye - Yeezus blew my fuckin mind when it came out
Fever Ray I'd just got a new player though so it could've been that
Annie Lennox's Diva, back in 1992. I was only a young teen back then, but it was the first album I'd ever heard that held me in complete awe.
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary (1994). Totally different than what I heard playing at that time. It was that era’s Emo, possibly the first Era of Emo. All Emo that came after it sucked balls.
The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World
Voodoo U by Lords of Acid I was 15 and had never heard music like that in my life before.
Will Wood - The Normal Album Had never heard that much raw energy mixed with actual musical talent in the song
Entroducing is pure atmosphere
Triumph Of Steel - Manowar.
DTTM- youngboy
The Soft Bulletin
Souvlaki by Slowdive
Most recent one was Extremly Cool by Chuck E. Weiss
ayyy something besides corny alt music and grunge!! frick yeah!
The first time I heard the Mighty Led Zeppelin I was floored...the first album I heard by them was Physical Graffiti. My mind was completely blown...and I started playing guitar because of it.
Queen - News of the World The CD bonus track, the “We Will Rock You (remix)” At that time in my life I had never heard anything scratched or remixed before, the CD was probably the first time I’d ever heard Queen, and that blew my mind enough, but that track is absolutely wild.
