Beastie Boys
A lot of cool instrumentals. Great singles. At 59 minutes, it's long.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine
Cee Lo Green
Cee Lo's comments in recent years have soured his reputation. Solid production by the Neptunes and Jazzy Pha, but the album contains too much filler.

Common
Impeccable, peak production from Kanye West. Contains the track performed live by Common and Kanye on Chappelle's Show.

The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow
I think Grounds for Divorce and One Day Like This made a splash upon release with synchs. Elbow are not a favorite.

Abbey Road
Beatles
Hadn't heard in years. Hard to believe this is now the "best album of all time" but still an absolute psychedelic classic. Dug "Oh! Darling" quite a bit.
