| 10 |  | Gang Starr Hard to Earn
Another awesome jazzy offering from Guru and Dj Premier. |
| 9 |  | Megadeth Youthanasia
This is probably the last thing Mustaine made worth listening to outside of the odd song. Lots of good stuff on here. |
| 8 | | Gravediggaz Niggamortis
RZA moves away from Wu-Tang and basically invents horrorcore (maybe not the best legacy) with this album. Very good album. |
| 7 |  | Jeru the Damaja The Sun Rises in the East
Really good album, love this guy. |
| 6 |  | Acid Bath When the Kite String Pops
Not as good as Paegan, this one is still great. Drags a bit, but still some of the best sludge ever recorded. |
| 5 |  | Soundgarden Superunknown
Took me a long time to really start digging Soundgarden, but once they clicked, did they ever. The second half of this album might actually out do the first. |
| 4 |  | Nas Illmatic
Nas got it right on this album, so good. Took the hardcore hip-hop scene to a new level with this release. |
| 3 |  | Portishead Dummy
Just started really getting into Portishead a few months ago, and this album is absolutely fantastic. Love the atmosphere. |
| 2 |  | Ulver Bergtatt
A prelude to Agalloch, this is one of Ulver's best albums. Can't really compare them too much given how different each one is, but this is a really great album. |
| 1 |  | Kyuss Welcome to Sky Valley
Kyuss' best album, this slays. Gardenia is such an awesome song. |
