IMO it’s the best decade for Hip-Hop. It’s an excellent rabbit hole to explore.

What are your top 5?

 

[avecigrec]

What are your top 5?

Keeping it to 5 is hard!

At this particular moment:

OutKast - Aquemini
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return to the 36 Chambers (The Dirty Version)
Fugees - The Score
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

 

[avecigrec]

90s hip hop is my absolute wheelhouse, so even a top 10 would be difficult.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

What are your top 5?

Mine would Be…

01 A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
02 Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
03 Nas - Illmatic
04 The Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
05 Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

90s hip hop is my absolute wheelhouse, so even a top 10 would be difficult.

Yeah, completely agree. I have over 100 Hip Hop records in my collection and over a third of them are 90s releases.

Hip-hop decades 90s > 00s > 80s > 10s > Now.

Led Zeppelin is the most Classic Rock band to ever Classic Rock. I always enjoy their albums when I play them but; like Doors and Pink Floyd, I rarely give them a go. I think I listened to these bands too much when I was a teenager that it’s tough for me to get too excited about them now.

My favorite hip-hop album of the 90's, and a top 10 album of all time for me

Large chunks of Zep I kinda agree. I own all the albums from when they were reissued and I know everyone rags on them but honestly I’ve no intention on grabbing expensive reissues of good stuff I rarely pull of the shelf.

Saying all that this is the one that I am most drawn too and that id grab semi regularly. The almost folk rock elements make it a really easy album to listen to.

Lester Bangs did the RS review.

I keep nursing this love-hate attitude toward Led Zeppelin. Partly from genuine interest and mostly indefensible hopes, in part from the conviction that nobody that crass could be all that bad, I t…

This is my favorite Zeppelin album.

Same! The one two punch of “Immigrant Song” and “Friends” is my favorite moment on any Zep album

Like The Rolling Stones they are definitely a band whose hits I enjoy more than their whole albums but I never regret when I do play a whole album

What kind of fuckery is this?

First impressions are great...it's right up my alley. I hear everything from Eddie Hazel to All Them Witches. Can't wait to listen again, probably tomorrow with a couple friends that are coming by.

Please post your reveal post, I'd like to hear why you chose it.

Led Zep III was actually released on this day 53 years ago.

Superb planning @Lee Newman (wink wink).

A really brave and ambitious album coming off the mega popular metal crunch of LZII.

Also contains one of those unwritten rock rules - Friends>Celebration Day must always, always, be played together...

Gone far too soon. Her talent was clear, inner demons be damned.

Might not be a personal all-timer, but it is stellar nonetheless.

Rating: 4.5/5 [Outstanding]
