Buckethead rules. I like him best in colaboration with Les Claypool in Les Claypool's Frog Brigade. That's insane music.
I'm curently waiting for new Revolting Cocks record "Sexo Olympico"! It's the very last record by uncle Al, i can't miss that.

I disagree. BIG's significance can't be denied. Just b/c he wasn't rappin about politics, religion, science or state of the hood doesn't detract from his importance in the rap game. All them dudes laid the foundation...he took it to another level. Its like MJ taking his cue from Dr. J. The East Coast was damn near irrevelant in terms of national sales and prominence before BIG really came back. Yeah you had a few folks hears and there that made hits but for the most part it was all about the West Coast. BIG put Brooklyn on his back. He put NY on his back. And he put the East Coast on his back. His legacy is Jay-Z, Diddy, Jadakiss, Little Kim, and every other NY rapper that followed in his path.

Black Sheep (was part of the Tribe triad)... "We got brothers in the jungle (jungle brothers), cousins on the quest (tribe called quest)... You can get with this, or you can get with that."
D.O.C. is my favorite album that never got any play at all. At the time, I thought the toughest rhyme I'd ever heard was Easy-E's bit on the Grand Finale (YouTube it). That whole album was hot.
First off, I think "Jam on it" spread rap more than the Sugar Hill Gang.
Then, there was the Island album (which began reggae/political rap) and then Beat street.
Digital Underground (comedy rap)
Guru's solo work (besides Tribe, first to really explore Jazz)
Busta's solo work
Big Daddy Kane is a must on any list...
Disposable Heroes of Hiphopcracy (continue of poli-rap, post-P.E.)
Basehead (the first chill/emo/druggie rap band -- god I love basehead)
There's more... Let me think...
