I mean really anything from the first four albums is godhead but "Check Your Head" has been on repeat lately and I particularly dig their "So Cal skate era"

When these kids first came straight outta Long Island in 1989, there was no such thing as âbackpacker hip-hopâ or even really an âUndergroundâ
Something this eccentric and funny (FBOW, hip-hop skits started here) didnât even have an audience. It had to be built.
Posdnuos, Trugoy (RIP) and DJ Maseo created a whole new world with producer Prince Paul that we are still exploring today.

ever since this legendary oakland mc passed earlier this week, this has been on constant repeat. âlight sleeperâ alone could play on and on for the rest of my life and i wouldnât be mad. elevated flow and creative cadences abound as the saucee nomad elevates beyond.
if you want more, go on youtube and watch him single handedly take on the entire hieroglyphics crew in one of the best battles hip-hopâs ever seen.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â€ïž

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ€
