Listening to this selection bound all over his vast corpus, you're struck by two things. First, even striding off a Blondie sample he wouldn't have stooped to in his proud twenties, he always sounds like himself. Second, he never sounds like anyone else of much moment--except Run-D.M.C., called out on the early "South Bronx." His musical forthrightness has no modern-day parallels--Gang Starr are scatmen by comparison, the N.O. Bouncers parademasters. How much impact the right voice and beat could make back in the day--and still can, especially boiled down to stark strokes that stick in the mind. To hear in one place "South Bronx," "The Bridge Is Over," "Criminal Minded," "Black Cop," the sociologically perfect and metaphysically weird "Love's Gonna Get'Cha," and the bullheaded history lesson "Why Is That?" is to learn that sometimes all a man needs to make great music is an idea he believes in.

Not really a decade for albums. A top 10 would be cool tho.

everyone other than jazz composers saw albums as purely commercial

Yeah even the rock and roll albums that came out were mostly compilations of singles but still it would be fun for the few dustlords

looking back I think Igor is Tyler's best album. I liked it from start but put it on par with Cherry Bomb. However, the parts I didn't care for on Igor don't bother me that much anymore as opposed to the long convoluted tracks on Cherry Bomb.
