Straight Outta Compton has a four great tracks and then all these other tracks that are just there. It is important record, and its social impact puts on a level that I think only a few things in all of the arts reach, but there are easily 100 albums from 80-89 that make better listens from beginning to end.
But I was a week shy of three-years-old when it came out, so what the fuck do I know? Maybe the old heads still let it play through, but I think I can count one finger the number I've times I've heard the end of something 2 dance 2
More than any of that though, this just wasn't a good poll for hip-hop
I don't understand the appeal of Kate Bush. I don't think I want to.

Thanks Tuomas. It would be interesting to see 101-150 or 200, if you're able to. Great poll. I've picked up the few albums that I didn't already have, except for World of Echo, which should be ready tonight. It's certainly had me re-considering some of these albums. For example, I've had Hounds Of Love for about ten years, but I've always sort of lost focus after the first half. I just re-listened to it, and the second half certainly isn't bad. It just never clicked before. I'll have to listen more. Seems like it could benefit from a remaster. I had the tape of Sign O' The Times since it came out and got pretty sick of it. I remember people asking to take it off halfway through at a party in the mid-90s because they were sick of it. I believe it was replaced by Master Of Puppets which did liven things up. I'm listening to it now, and could still do without half the songs. I got to see PE perform Nation of Millions last year at Pfork, which was great. Anyone else see it? RIL was my #1.

9 from my top 1015 from my top 2017 from my top 30
(though five of the last six are in there to make sure The Queen Is Dead scores less than Frankie Goes to Hollywood, so it's really 16 out my top 25 - Arvo Part scoring was just an accident!)
