It might not be your thing but my favorite jazz artist would be David Axelrod. His first two albums are jazz funk masterpieces.

If your hit take point was you aren't interested in checking out more jazz, just skip the rest and ignore
Give Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady a shot, it is so fucking cool and different.
For Herbie, also check out Empyrean Isles and Sextant. Empyrean Isles is a little more avant garde hard bop that for whatever reason I like more than Maiden Voyage. Sextant is hard to explain but jazz fusion with synths, but not synth-funk. Super cool, I feel like you might like it.
IF you're interested in branching out from what you do like, a way that has been recommend a lot is checking out the other artists that catch your ear on the albums/songs you like and listening to whatever albums they were doing around that time.
Otherwise, if you want more jazz fusion I might check out Freddie Hubbard -Straight Life or Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark
Edit:Oops, hit post early. I was also going to suggest Grachan Moncur III - Evolution (also really cool and different for the era), Andrew Hill - Point of Departure, and Lee Morgan - Sidewinder for stuff near the era of Maiden Voyage.

The only good Built to Spill album is Perfect From Now On, and it’s one of my favorite albums ever.
RHCP only have one or two good songs.
Peter Murphy and Love & Rockets were vastly superior to Bauhaus.
Forrest Gump is a terrible movie.

Edit: It is probably my favorite, but come on, There is Nothing Wrong with Love and Keep it Like a Secret are great albums.

Damn straight! Keep It Like a Secret is my fav but Perfect From Now On and Nothing Wrong With Love are both great also.

TINWWL is ok, KILAS did absolutely nothing for me. PFNO was a statement, the sprawling songs combined Martsch’s anguished vocals, lyrics, and guitar work made for an experience.

Best Dream Pop album(s)?

For some reason that album has never clicked with me. I need to try again. Same with Cocteau twins.

I like Iridescence about as much as the trilogy, but I do pick up on what you're saying. I don't think it's just because Ameer's voice is gone, that happened during such a crazy time for them and I think it was all of it that's had this effect.
Did you read this interview Kevin recently did?
Brockhampton's Kevin Abstract On Making Art to Survive, Therapy with Friends, and Forgiveness
For Pride month, GQ called up playwright Jeremy O. Harris to sit down with the young leader of the rap collective for a raw, far-ranging conversation about creating art while queer, family, forgiveness, and the trickiness of mining personal trauma.
Signing to RCA was a massive decision and at this stage it seems like maybe they weren't ready and it was all too much change. Like I said Iridescence is fine, but it's not like getting to make it at Abbey Road really made it a better album; it wasn't really just this group of guys who met on KTT making cool music in the house they all lived in anymore.

I hadn't heard that, it's such a strange and shitty situation to be in. The biggest worry when they signed seemed to be that they'd 'sold out', this is probably an even worse outcome though.

The skits on Wyclef's The Carvinal were pretty solid as a whole. A bit jarring when you revisit them now but...Went along with the album. But yeah, most skits are whatever.
Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated...
Loveless > Any Dream Pop
See Fresh Grabs. That’s not even remotely dark, it’s a great way of picking up great music thst isn’t worth the vinyl price, particularly second hand!
I love Dälek but I'm not sure how they're comparable to Death Grips, they don't even remotely sound similar

Isn't that the one where she rhymes night with night?

I'm not implying it. It's fairly obvious that it's a godawful track. It's one of the worst of the aughts.
