Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Fear of a Black Planet
Public Enemy ·1990
"'Fear of a Black Planet,' which, I don't know if you can see the cool re-release. It's probably one of the most influential albums ever for me, personally... Just such a perfect record to me."

Post
Björk ·1995
"I think it was probably the most artistic album I had ever heard up until that point. Like somebody who just was approaching an album more like a gallery artist than a singer."

Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
The Pharcyde ·1992
"This Pharcyde 'Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde' record was my favorite, favorite album when it came out, for probably a whole year. I listened to it non-stop. They were L.A. artists. They just had such unique deliveries and the beats were so incredible."

Richard D. James Album
Aphex Twin ·1996
"You can hear the influence of his stuff, maybe not just this album but his stuff in general on a lot of our early material, when we were doing all the stuttering stuff."

"Refused. I don't think there would be a Linkin Park without Refused. The sound of the guitars and the drums, like the live band sound of this album was one of the things that, when we were recording and when we were mixing, I remembered A/B-ing 'Hybrid Theory' to this album and being like, it needs to have as much energy as this album does."
