86. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back – Public Enemy

Chuck D. would have done great standing alongside Malcolm X in the sixties, talking about black power and such. It’s funny that one of the greatest rappers of all time grew up in a suburban type area, Chuck D, and not an intensely urban setting. And who could forget the skinny black guy with a Viking hat and a clock swinging from his neck. This is a vintage album from rap’s glory days.

85. Tago Mago – Can

Man, what a mind**** this album is. I only wish these guys came out with it later so the sonic landscape could be improved and we could hear even more experimental brilliance. Germans have always been good at music(Beethoven anyone?), but around this time, the krauts had yet another resurgence, pushing the boundaries of what music could really do. I salute you, Can.
