lumpen proletariat......
How predictable is it that Def Leppard will win this poll? I wouldn't mind but I've an awful feeling that the wops are voting for Def Leppard in their sugar-pouring days when they sounded like Bryan 'twat' Adams and not the good old Leppard days when their drummer was multi-limbed.
I think Regs will fiddle it anyway.

There's no mention of Kool Moe Dee, Marley Marl or the Beastie Boys. I should come to Fulham and bust a proverbial cap in yo azz for such an oversight. At least mention De La Soul. They have nice drums, you know.

el segundo.....
You're a moderator, fcuking moderate and make yer own poll rap-man. I think if you're honest with yourself, you know that smooth eighties types Swing out Sister would piss all over Marley Marl in a street brawl anyway. And Big Country's line-up boasted a coloured fella who you know would have had to have been either very funny or hard as old boots to have survived growing up in Fife in the 1970's. He was a bass player after all.
I'll give you the De la Soul nod, they did have very nice drums.
I go to work, Fastshow.

Fasty,
A fcuking shite choice for a poll. What about those fcuking shite high school Canadian Bands like Haywire, Loverboy, Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde, Martha & Muffinns and Bryan Adams -
FCUK ME - Thats why Maple Syrup was your biggest exporter
But anyways...
Frankie has to get my vote. Still that LP has more relevant sounds and the production is cool as you will ever get today.
Was glad to listen to the Jam, New Order, The Clash, Duran and all Soul exports from the US on me radio when I was a nipper.
Ah, Sensei,
Beastie Boys yes. And most definitely DeLa Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Aleem, The Egyptian Lover, World Class Wreckin Cru, Mantronix and Jonzun Crew
Say No Go, FYI "el Segundo" was the 'Tribe'
Zang Tuum Tumb
hedKandi

Yes.
Trevor Horn is a genius. Undisputed. Zang Tuum Zumb was an important label in my upbringing and, as such, clearly have much for which to be made accountable. Propaganda with their 'P Machinery' was a work of sublime excellence. Not bad for a bunch of square heads, really.
I was listening to Mantronix the other day. I was, honest. It began to remind me of Buckfast until I remembered he was more of a DJ E-Z Rock 'Joy and Pain' or Gerald Levert man.
I knew I should have included The Christians, Spear of Destiny, Furniture, It's Immaterial and Cath Carroll. You have heard of Cath Carroll haven't you, Hed? Your credentials are very much at stake on this one, squire. Hint: Tony Wilson.
I thought Luba was bad enough without mentioning the rest of that shower. At least you didn't mention Jane Siberry and her 'Mimi on the Beach' abortion. Thanks.

Need not inform moi of Tribe's wallet donations to El Segundo. That's Fasty's miscue. Despite his earnest attempts to "get street" (an unnatural limp in his swagger, excess Ecko gear, the big "Roc La Familia" iced-out chain he sports around his neck), his lack of knowledge about his hiphop forefathers is well, lacking.
To carry on with your list, I'd put KMD, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B. and Rakim and group by the name of 3rd Bass (Gasface anyone?) in the "must-have" hiphop collection of the 80s.
For those looking for a little rapperific holiday cheer, check out the first track off the Groove Armada album "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)" - Suntoucher, featuring Jeru the Damaja. He will bring the pain. Not like that's a bad thing.
Sense-to the izzo, ay-to the izzay,
-Me.

It should be noted that half of the Handsome Boy Modelling School crew, Prince Paul, produced the aforementioned Stetsasonic album. He is also responsible for the first three DeLa Soul albums, the Gravediggaz album and his own "Prince Among Thieves" album. The man is a god, nay, legend.
As for Whodini, "Friends" was easily his best effort.
How many of us have them,
-Sensei.

resemblance....
I resent the insinuation that I don't know my Tribes from my Maestros from my Heavy D's from my LL Cool J's.
'Just a Friend' by Biz Markie still makes me cry, Fastshow.
P.S. Buckfast, did you go to Browny's do? I can't stand this suspense.
