Rank albums from this crew or label #1

Ok people, this is a new one i've thought of. I'll take a crew or particular label and you all rank the albums that you've heard. This is a great way for people to find out about albums that they may have been sleeping on. Rate all that you've heard.

Today we'll start with Heiroglyphics. Here's what i've heard from my favorite to least favorite:

1. Del the Funky Homosapien "I wish my Brother George Was Here"
2. Deltron 3030 "Deltron 3030"
3. Souls of Mischief "93 Til Infinity"
4. Heiroglyphics "3rd Eye Vision"
5. Casual "Fear Itself"
6. Del The Funky Homosapien "Both Sides of The Brain"
7. Domino "Self-Titled"

That's all i've really heard that i'm familiar enough with to rank. I've been meaning to check out that Extra Prolific for a long time now but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm gonna have to spin a few records to give a proper ranking.

Hieroglyphics "3rd Eye Vision" (4.5 stars)
Hieroglyphics "Full Circle" (5 stars)
Hieroglyphics "B-Sides" (3.5 stars)
Hieroglyphics "Oldies, Vol. I" (4 stars)
Hieroglyphics "Oldies, Vol. II" (4 stars)
Hieroglyphics The Corner (3.5 stars)
Hieroglyphics The Building (3.5 stars)
Casual "Fear Itself" (4.75 stars)
Casual "Meanwhile..." (3.75 stars)
Del "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" (5 stars)
Del "No Need for Alarm" (4 stars)
Del "Future Development" (4 stars)
Del "Both Sides of the Brain" (4 stars)
Del "Eleventh Hour" (2.5 stars)
Del "Funk Man (The Stimulus Package)" (3.75 stars)
Deltron 3030 "Deltron 3030" (5 stars)
Pep Love "Ascension" (4.5 stars)
Opio "Vulture's Wisdom, Volume 1" (4 stars)
Souls Of Mischief "93 'til Infinity" (5 stars)
Souls Of Mischief "Focus" (3.5 stars)
Extra Prolific "Like It Should Be" (4.75 stars)

They aren't in order/ranked, but the star ratings are there and I don't feel like rearranging them. lol

Linker, beat his ass! He stole your thread idea!

Did i really, sorry Linker.

Well, you don't rank his list, and you have to list a favorite song. So you should be ok, Taylor. lol

actually, Linker does the discog and i'm doing entire crews so it is different.

Hieroglyphics "3rd Eye Vision" (3.5)
Hieroglyphics "Full Circle" (3.5)
Del "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" (4.25)
Extra Prolific "Like It Should Be" (3.75)

Except for I Wish the others I have only spun once so that is the best ranking I can give those now. With time who knows....
