"One of the most underrated albums of all time, James 'Laid,' which people unfortunately remember because of the single, 'Laid,' which is a good song but it's kind of annoying, but the whole rest of the album is just a mind-blower."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"It's a solo piano improvisation. He's kind of my hero. He was the reason why I started to get into improvising and stuff like that."Watch this moment
"I love his approach to rhythm, the way that he rhymes and the sound of his voice. It's real raspy, and he just has a great way with words."Watch this moment
"Young MC, 'Stone Cold Rhymin'... One of the greatest records. Classic. I mean, I can't imagine any other record that I listened to in middle school that I still listen to on a monthly basis."Watch this moment
"The production on that record's really cool. It's like country music with indie rocker... I don't know what kind of production you would call it but... creative production."Watch this moment
"Pink Moon by Nick Drake. What a great record. It's amazing that he went so kind of under the radar for so long, y'know until that Volkswagen commercial, then everybody was like, 'oh my god, who is this guy?'"Watch this moment
"There was one whole summer between 8th grade and starting high school that we listened to this record and another one back to back. And we would play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, for Super Nintendo and we just stayed in his room and ate frozen pizza, y'know, microwave pizza, and listened to these two records. It's a lot of good memories."Watch this moment
"It just knocks your knees out. It's so emotional."Watch this moment
"Did you know this existed until today, this is John Fahey's Christmas album. I mean, how many times can you listen to the Elvis Christmas album before everybody goes insane?"Watch this moment
"The first time I heard this record my brain exploded. Game changer. Unbelievable."Watch this moment
