T.R.O.Y. is one of the best songs I've ever heard but that whole album is full of jams like Can't Front on Me, The Basement, Ghettos of the Mind etc.

The production is amazing. Pete Rock is the man.

[Heisenberg]

Jay-Z: The Blueprint
Foo Fighters: There Is Nothing Left To Lose
Nas: Illmatic
Usher: 8701/Confessions - can't decide

Cannibal Ox, "The Cold Vein" is one of the best underground albums/hip hop (when there was hip hop) albums ever. This is what you should have been listening to in 1998.

I agree that it is a great album, El-P's distorted soundscapes set the futuristic atmosphere for Vordul and Vast Aire to spit their street tales over. It isn't one of the best ever though, imo. In terms of abstract innovative hip hop, it is up there with MF Doom/Madlib- Madvillainy, Company Flow- Funcrusher Plus, and Quasimoto- The Unseen. All Madlib and El-P related albums, two of the dopest producers. Also Del & Dan the Automator- Deltron 3030 and Kool Keith/Automator- Dr. Octagonecologyst.

A huge 70's hard rock fan so no surprise in this list of albums that came to mind immediately:

In Rock - Deep Purple
Made In Japan - Deep Purple
Rainbow Rising - Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin (I always go to PG rather than Zep IV for some reason)

slight hint there that I'm a major Ritchie Blackmore fan
