Need the group's advice here...@ai6yr@mastodon.radio just dropped off a USB stick for me to fill with music, starting with some Kraftwerk. The question is...what else? What does someone who was raised in a cave in Utah need to hear that the rest of the world always knew about?
Some Exotica to start, Yma Sumac of course. Maybe some more Les Baxter.
Flood by They Might Be Giants. At least one Gentle Giant album.
Lots of 70s funk; who him what disco was before all the goodness was squeezed out.
Gimme ideas.

@W6KME@mastodon.radio @ai6yr@mastodon.radio Not just funk, he needs 80s help, IMHO. Blondie, Specials, Clash - London Calling, X (the Band). Since you're starting with Kraftwerk you need some Deep Forest from the 90s. and Rick Rubin/Johnny Cash is a must for the late grunge era.
