Because The Modern Lovers is one of my all-time favorite records, I took that as a sign.

Man , that's so cool. I love the Modern Lovers too.

As Noisereductions says, three pretty much perfect albums right there.

Yeah, great shit. Or at least the first 2. Haven't gotten around to The Chronic yet. That can be tomorrow. I prefer Liquid Swords on first listen, but I can tell that the Raekwon is going to be a grower.
I love getting into new genres of music. Coming late to something means that there's already such a depth of acknowledged "classic" albums that you can pick up really easily. With rock or jazz or whatever, where I've been listening for years, it's so much harder to find stuff worth buying. But with hip-hop, where I now only own like 25 albums, I can walk into my local indie store and, and, in their quite small hip-hop section, find like 20 albums I'd like to check out, all at under £8. Great.
Keeping with the Wu theme, they had the first few Ghostface albums in, and the first Method Man... I may have head back at the end of the week, if I actually have any money left by then. Will be tempted by the early Ice Cube and Fugee's albums they've got in too... So much choice!
