Massive Attack, Blue Lines

The meditative debut record from British electronic music pioneers Massive Attack marks the birth of trip-hop as a genre and helped spawn a few more essential head-melt LPs (1994’s Protection, 1998’s Mezzanine) as well as the solo career of Tricky.

Released: April 8, 1991
