I considered that, LJ, but they have Massive
Really? In that case, I got nothin'.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

And of course there's always things that are inexplicably left out of a particular list, but to have 75 "essential" trip-hop songs without Massive Attack? WTF?!

This, like the LotR board, could easily replace everything else I normally read (online; heathens, for even suspecting I'd give up books and COMICS!)
Besides the quintessential Massive Attack, what other triphop that's rather downtempo-ish would people recommend? Auteuchre takes care of my ping-pong uptempt requirements. :)
(I ask for recommendation because I'm a serious darkambient and classical music freak, and some of these other newfangled genres confound my ancient, grey-and-balding head.)

Obvious places to go would be anything by Portishead (esp. their first), the first Morcheeba record. First Goldfrapp record.
Various Ultra Chilled collections (though some of these can be bland. Others can be decent samplers.)
Here's somebody's Amazon chillout list with some trip hop classics

I was gonna say Portishead, Hec! Dammit, I so very rarely have anything useful to say in here, and you stole my thunder.

That's about all I knew until bon bon educated me in the genre.

Ladytron is more electronica than trip-hop, but they're awesome.
Oh! I've been listening to a lot of Sneaker Pimps lately. They count.
