Wow, quite impressive. Of the albums I have heard, I certainly agree that they all belong on this list (well, actually, not the Prodigy choice; I'll have to listen to that one again). I am most impressed, however, that there are albums I haven't heard on this list.
So you'll have to pick up an Adam Again album, and I'll have to try out the K Sessions.
Great work on some too often over-looked genres.
Shalom, y'all!

Thank you. I discovered a used CD srore near my house that carries Adam Again's Homeboys, and I plan on buying it this weekend.
I'm glad you like the list.
With all due respect critic. You da man. But I like this list cuz' it makes me laugh.
Not a fan of the genres involved? Or do you just disagree with my selections?
Wow, critic, this is an impressive list. The ones I've heard and loved (esp. Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, DJ Shadow) listed here make me curious about some of the others. In particular, what can you tell me about 4 Hero and Wagon Christ?
Now, what about Aphex Twin, especially the Richard D. James album? That seems to be a real groundbreaker for the nineties. I would also recommend your hearing an album called Outer Perimeter, by a group called Presage. I believe it came out in 1998.
