It's hard to choose between "Blue Lines", "Protection", or "Mezzanine" because each album in Massive Attack's trilogy of early albums has it's own merits. "Blue Lines" trumps the other two primarily because it was there first and launched the Bristol sound, which gave birth to trip-hop and created a whole new generation of performers that called themselves deejays instead of rock musicians. "Blue Lines" is important because it signaled the end of the rock and roll era and the triumph of the post-rock sound of electronica.

Safe from Harm, and Unfinished Sympathy... the rest is bland and over-rated.
