 | It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back by Public Enemy
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.90 I go back and forth between this and Fear, but overall this is their finest album - angry, apocalyptic poetry - Chuck D. is the voice of a generation.

|
 | Bela Fleck & The Flecktones by Béla Fleck & The Flecktones
Buy new: $13.96 / Used from: $4.00 Their first and finest effort - some of the best harmonica ever recorded - the band really lost focus when Howard left.
