60: Moving

One of the things I dislike most in my life is moving -- I don't like packing, moving or unpacking. I don't like moving myself or helping others move anymore. So I guess it's somewhat odd that I chose this as a topic...

1. The Kinks - I Gotta Move
2. Wire - Start To Move
3. Beastie Boys - The Move
4. The Jam - I've Changed My Address
5. The Smiths - Back To The Old House

38: Thes One

Thes One is best known as one half of the alternative hip hop duo People Under the Stairs. But he's also a great producer with a cool, relaxed west coast style, working with Giant Panda, Ugly Duckling and others. He's also put out some solo work, including my recent favorite "Lifestyle Marketing", an album of instrumentals using commercials from the 1960/70s (represented here by "Hy-Vee") -- definitely worth checking out.

1. People Under The Stairs - The Dig
2. Raashan Ahmad & Thes One - Alright
3. Giant Panda - With It
4. Thes One - Noonen
5. Thes One - Hy-Vee

02: Rakim

Hands down, Rakim is the world's greatest MC. There is no discussion about this, so don't get me started by trying to bring up Tupak or Biggie Smalls. If these five songs don't prove it, then there's something wrong with you.

2. Eric B & Rakim - Lyrics of Fury
3. Eric B & Rakim - Microphone Fiend
