#241 Massive Attack, 'Blue Lines' (1991)

What is widely considered to be the first Trip Hop record, ‘Blue Lines’ is the debut album of Massive Attack and it’s a huge one. On this record, the band drew inspiration from concept album artists such as Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock & Isaac Hayes. It was the perfect mix of rap, dub and soul. An album that knocks you off your feet, hitting you with sounds when you least expect it.
