Five favourite Albums -
llcoolgee - 04-01-13
With the arrival of my new PE t-shirt representing one of my all time favourite albums, i thought i might share my five most favoured with y'all.
In no particular order:-
PE - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back.
Gangstarr - Step in the arena.
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
The Stone Roses -The Stone Roses
Ultra Magnetics - Critical beatdown
Special metions to Eric B & Rakim, i cant believe they have not made it into the top 5.
The interesting bit is i have Dj'd for 20 odd years and none of the genres has much to do with what i mix.
Your thoughts?

Five favorite albums... tough choice.
These are the first ones that spring to mind, in no particular order either:
Run DMC: Raising Hell
Tommy Boy Greatest Beats compilation (1985)
Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: He's the Dj, I'm the Rapper
Still the Joint: Sugarhill remixed
Poison Clan: 2 Low Life Muthas
Ask me again tomorrow and it will probably be different...LOL...
– also, some of these are compilations, I'm not sure if that qualifies

Notorious BIG - Juicy
RHCP - Californication
RHCP - By the way
Oasis - What's the story (Morning glory)
Jay-z - Reasonable doubt
I'm generally pretty eclectic as also love a bit of Otis Redding, and have Classical FM on preset in the car

Such a difficult question but like yours LL my top 5 would definitely contain both Critical Beatdown and Blue Lines. Probably round it out with something like
Tribe Called Quest-Low End Theory
GZA-Liquid Swords
Bob Marley-Catch A Fire
Even as I'm writing this it's already changed....

PE: Nation of Millions
Beastie Boys: Paul's Boutique
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
Metallica: Justice For All
Tool: Aenima
Only the first two are locks.

Paul's boutique and liquid swords are n my top ten. Along with another 100.
Critical Breakdown was when I truly embraced hip hop, even though I had been listening/breaking to earlier stuff. Blue Lines sums up an era for me. I'm a Bath boy (right next to Bristol) and know some of them by association.. Good work guys.

This 5 is a tough one, it would be easier to name artists rather than LPs.
Who have to include:
Stevie Wonder
Minnie Ripperton/ Rotary Connection
Ernest Ranglin
Bob Marley
Al Green
Leroy Hutson
Marvin Gaye
Rufus/ Chaka Khan
4Hero
JAMES BROWN and JB family!
All the Native Tongues...
... No this is impossible!

As per Benji.....Impossible.....It would depend on the day, time, place etc etc....

I have tried to add these albums to Spotify list
http://open.spotify.com/user/ez-1/playlist/71dlwWXs5rhw2E8eSmFnyU
My list would be something like this, in no particular order:
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace
Metallica - S&M
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Muse - The Resistance
RHCP - Stadium Arcadium OR Californication OR By the Way OR Blood Sugar Sex Magic
2Pac - All Eyez On Me
OR if I can't get all these in my list then I would choose all the albums that came out in 1991. Easily the best year in record business. Check it if you don't believe!
