Deep Purple’s “Machine Head” has always been one of my favorites–not a stinker on the whole album.

here’s what i can think of off the top of my head…

Cypress Hill - ‘Cypress Hill’, ‘Black Sunday’, ‘IV’, ‘Los Grandes Exitos En Espanol’ (spelling? no cd case to be found nearby…)

B-Real - ‘The Psycho Realm.’

Prodigy - ‘Music for the Jilted Generation.’

Velvet Underground and Nico - ‘Plastic Exploding Inevitable.’

Maxim - ‘Hells’ Kitchen.’

Public Enemy - ‘It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.’

Sunna - ‘One Minute Silence’

and finally, why oh why has no-one mentioned them already, two of the cream skimmed off the top of the best-album-ever milk churn:

Death in Vegas - ‘Dead Elvis’ and ‘The Contino Sessions’

utterly fantastic trip-hop type stuff. buybuybuy.
