Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
I just watched the documentary Global Metal by the guy who made Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.
It makes you realize 3rd World metal subject matter ain't so fictional and that for them metal = FREEDOM.

Glenn Branca - Lesson No. 1
From 1980.
Branca came up with this sound that just expanded outwards like a huge wave into other music and you can hear its many descendants (Daydream Nation, Closer, Disintegration and Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven) if you can make it through without getting completely hypnotized.

R. Stevie Moore - Little Man
1976
R. Stevie Moore is awesome and kind of Ariel Pink's spiritual father and the father of the the home-recording DIY aesthetic and so on and so forth.
I think the best thing ever would be if civilization ended and the human race died out and millenia later an alien race came to earth and the only thing left was this video, and they were like: "WTF WERE THESE PEOPLE ON?"

Demdike Stare - Bardo Thodol
When you die it's confusion and you lose everything you ever had in this life and wander lost in the darkness of limbo searching for a way out. There is no seeing, no feeling, no touch. You can only hear vaguely. This.

La Peste - Better Off Dead
This is a classic from a legendary Boston punk band circa '78. I used to get creeped out by its vaguely pedophilic undertones (some dude banging a 13 year old and getting busted by her parents) but you've gotta look past that as you listen to this on full blast.

Confession: I love early 90's house music.
Just kidding.
Actually, I don't know anymore. Here's Hercules & Love Affair's My House. And keep in mind this came out, like, YESTERDAY. And this video was made, like, YESTERDAY. You are not watching Electric Circus in the basement in 1993.

Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
Bo Diddley at Ed Sullivan in 1955:
Diddley was instructed to perform Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons", but instead launched into his no. 1 hit "Bo Diddley", exposing the American public to rock and roll, a wicked new sound that would soon become a national obsession. According to Diddley's biography Living Legend, Sullivan was furious, telling the young musician, "You are the first black boy to ever double-cross me."
Diddley felt the inflection placed on the word "black" was just as bad as the "n word", and when his manager said, "That's Mr. Sullivan!", Diddley snapped back, "I don't give a shit about Mr. Sullivan, he don't talk to me like that!", and was banned from any future appearances on the show.

Yes, you read right. No, I don't give a shit what you think. This is awesome. They were really high and didn't think they were playing that day. The drummer died not long after this, aged 20. Put yourself in the shoes of the late 60's and imagine how awesome this must have been. Get over yourself, and appreciate this in context.
