The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

An all-time genre great near his peak. Some of these songs still slap. Some are really angry, like wow, we used to bop to this. I guess this sort of anger-pop was the norm at the time (i.e. Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc). A couple of songs would really stand out and offend in present day, but I do remember him being a very controversial figure at the time, which only led us to want to listen to him more.
