Primal Scream's 'Screamdelica' is for me a 5star album. Fresh and original today as it was on its release in 1991.

The fact that you have other Wu Tang albums and forgot Rae Kwon's "Only Built For Cuban Linx" is a joke. That is possibly the greatest hip hop album of all time and mos def the best in the Wu Tang Collection. smile

"Cuban Linx" is a five-star album, but the list is a personal opinion and therefore no more or less legit than anyone else's.

And my twocents says "Nation of Millions" is the greatest hip-hop LP of all time.

happy orging.

You are correct, it does depend on personal preference. But Cuban Linx is too good to pass up! smile

You have a great selection up there. Some of my favorites are represented. Even if "Songs of Freedom" is taking the easy way out. nana As an album, "Kaya" is my favorite Marley.

I have too many 5 star albums to mention and many have already been mentioned. Nine Inch Nails's "Pretty Hate Machine" is my 5 star rock album. Can't be beat...


Nice picks.
