MB's top 50 according to RYM

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 MinRABtate" 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.
 
I've tried to get RYM about 3 times, but end up giving when adding my library or whatever. Might try again next time I have some time on my hanRAB(Today)

Anyway, list is okay. I have only 26 though :(
 
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.
 
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 MinRABtate. I still have Grind Date on my HD but haven't got around to hearing it. Nice to see Animals so high. Fuck yes.
