LCD Soundsystem : Losing My Edge

It's like a hipster's cheatsheet! Where else can you find a list of some of the best overlooked and obscure but influential and important must of the last 40+ years. I have made it project to look up the artist I don't know and find out more about them. James Murphy also shows his musical diversity by namechecking everyone from Captin Beefheart to Daft Punk. And the outro list..."This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra, Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra, Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc, Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics." Even forgetting the lyrics, that bassline is lots of fun too.
