MB's top 50 according to RYM

glad to see Dead Kennedys on there

I've heard all but 5.

That's a solid list of albums. I have around 20 of them i think.

On the flipside, 37 of those albums would be nowhere near my own personal 50 and let's be brutally honest. When was the last time you have sat down and heard 3ft High and Rising? It's an influential album definitely and I own it and like it but it's dated terribly unfortunately.

I listened to it a month ago and loved it. Sure, it's not "De La Soul is Dead" or "Buhloone Mindstate" but it's a quality album that's enigmatic enough to stick out in a sea of great late 80's hip hop. Potholes in My Lawn is just too good. Amazing piano sample in the chorus.

very surprised the doors 'the doors' and la woman albums never got a mention, or strange days into the bargain. classic albums from a classic band.

I'm more surprised to see De La Soul on here, especially ranked higher than 36 Chambers.

It's certainly influential for sure but the recording techniques and use of sampling seems kinda tame these days. I never rated 'Is Dead' much but I never got around to hearing Buhloone Mindstate. I still have Grind Date on my HD but haven't got around to hearing it. Nice to see Animals so high. Fuck yes.

There are a few surprises on there. I only have 29 of them but i've heard a few of the others.
