Why not go to the source and choose "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel"?

This record is so dated it's pathetic. It was great at the time but I think it only gets onto lists like these out of sheer reputation at this point. The skits (that seem to take up about half the record) are embarrassing, and most of the sampling is really forced. It's the sort of record that lots of people own, but only listen to once a year, if that.

"Hey, this one says 'Ambient #1' so it must be the number-one best Eno record, right?"

No way would I pick the first SAW collection over the Polygon Window album.
