Groundbreaking pieces of music (in your opinion)

William Hung, She Bangs

I believe this is the first recording that successfully combined quantized midi music with VERY pitchy vocals. 

It broke new ground by showing that you dont need talent to achieve 15 minutes of fame.  👍

A hero for autistic people everywhere.

If I had that name, I'd drop the "WILL" part! 😁

Kid Rock, Cowboy 

i think if it's not obvious why it was groundbreaking, some explanation would be polite

IMO, Cowboy was the first good mix of Rap, Country & Rock combined. I'm honestly not a big fan of Rap or Country but I think Kid Rock did a good job of combining everything. He threw the concept of 'genre' out the window. And it's hard to argue that it went over big. I think it helped break down some of the walls of Country music. 

As far as Van Halen's Eruption, I know it's not your thing pwal but Eruption was a complete game changer for guitar. To quote Frank Zappa, "Eddy Van Halen reinvented the guitar".  Not to mention, David Lee Roth reinvented buttless chaps  😘

For me it would be Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring).  I was awestruck by it the first time I heard it nearly sixty years ago and am still awestruck when I hear it played today.

interesting music, basically invented movie film music 50 years ahead of time sounds like.

I have two from the late 80's/early 90's

Depeche Mode: yes, they had been around for a few over a decade. But Violator reached a level of sophistication that hasn't been topped since in that genre IMO. Listening to that today, 35 years later, I feel the same way: 


In the late 80's, a friend had this before EPIC hit, and I was enthralled with the blend of different styles of synth/guitar/deep lyrics(read: not girls and blow)and the variety of Mike Patton's voices. The Real Thing is a MONSTER album, and dare I say, the best version of War Pigs:

Super Furry Animals, God! Show Me Magic

Super Furry Animals broke new ground by combining genres like Electronic, Indie & Psychedelic Pop and the result wasn't quite as terrible as you think it would be.

Considering the very low bar set by other UK bands in the mid 90's, Super Furry Animals are actually somewhat tolerable.

If you don't have access to some real, quality music like Van Halen or Guns-N-Roses, checkout Super Furry Animals. 👍
