Picks from the collection.
From the record shelf
A Tribe Called Quest
Midnight Marauders
Quite simply the best ATCQ album. Plays from end to end w/o any misses.

Counting Crows
August and Everything After
It's the perfect album for fall, rainy days, or a case of the blues. These guys might be my favorite band that plays instruments.

Wu-Tang Clan
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
GOAT. Still bangs over 30 years later.

Anthrax
I'm the Man — EP
This EP from Anthrax was just fun. Proof that metal didn't have to take itself too seriously. As a hip-hop fan discovering heavier stuff, I couldn't stop laughing.

Beastie Boys
Paul's Boutique
I'm not sure if this is the most underrated Beastie Boys album, or just the best. Either way, it's a mindblowing trip.

Nas
Illmatic
Put the best lyricist with the best producers and you get the best album. Nothing else to say.

Public Enemy
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
As a high school kid, I didn't get how deep Chuck D's lyrics were. Maybe one of the most aggressive albums ever.
