Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.
I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.

I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They’re a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.

Generation Why by Zhu. I don’t really care for most of Zhu’s music, but this album I really enjoy. It’s similar in style to 808s and heartbreak.
You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be “Guns Blazing”, “Bloodstain” and “Rabbit in Your Headlights” off the first one and “Black Milk”, " Inertia Creeps" and “Mezzanine” off the second, and “Tesko Suicide” , “6 Underground” and “Spin Spin Sugar” off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!
Actually one last one, I’d throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, “Mental Stamina” and “Jungle Music” are solid
Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations
Glad you enjoyed them!
I love Psyence Fiction. I’m not even sure what genre it fits into, maybe trip-hop?
Yeah it’s usually classified under trip-hop. Such a good album and the sound is so diverse. You would not think guns blazing and lonely souls came off the same album
Solid tracks. Nursery rhyme is one of my favorite tracks, goes so hard and it’s not even a metal album.
Fuck me I forgot to add “You Can’t Stop The Prophet” off of Sun Rises in the East, that’s probably the best song on the album.
Deltron 3030.
Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.
The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.
I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!
He’s also Ice Cube’s cousin
Thats a fun fact i did not know!
If you must is one of the best bloc party jams of all time.
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that’s the only logical choice.
Based on your most listened, maybe try Little Simz, clipping, Fantasic Negrito (Album: Last Days of Oakland)
For something maybe a little outside the box I recommend The Books, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, Cosmo Sheldrake
You’d probably like Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe’s Modal Soul.
You might have a crush on Logic :)
Shhh don’t tell him
(I’m only just a little embarrassed with how prevalent he is)
And Kendrick Lamar
How you got not RTJ?!
Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls
Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!
Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I’m gonna check out some of the others you have.
I don’t really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.
I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though
You check out Tame Impala’s live rendition of innerspeaker yet?
Better then the studio album by far, and the visuals are tight. The session starts at dusk and it slowly turns night as the album progresses.
I had not. Thanks for sharing

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:
- AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
- The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
- Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
- Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
- Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.
disco elysium soundtrack is fiiiiire
Aesop rock - Skelethon
The drums are just 🤱
I listen to several of the same rap albums as OP and I also love some Aesop Rock.
Hell of a good album. Cycles to Gehenna slaps, fryerstarter is a little surreal. A good chunk of his albums have an instrumental version too.
