Some rabbit holes and surprises:
2013's Soundtracks from the Shao Lin Temple stood out as a really great and in-your-face Wu album.
Wu babies are great Method, Ol Dirty sort of get away from RZA's signature fu production. Raekwon is an old favorite from college, cinematic like a mob movie. GZA's Liquid Swords is a really fun almost comic book-y discovery from the actual Rolling Stone list.
Live At Central Park by S & G: I did take a break from all studio albums to check out this reunion double album from the 80s. Just transports you there. I always appreciate a live album that does that.
I find S & G really healing these days. Taking a look at Bob Dylan's early stuff now.
I could play both these artist's entire catalogs of studio albums from beginning to end with no skipping with a few exceptions: The Graduate soundtrack is of course its own thing.
I think it's funny when S & G gets more upbeat they sound like The Monkees and when you look at their "People Also Like" list on Spotify, The Monkees is on there. Old me would have appreciated any upbeat toe-tapper more, but now that is not what I go to S & G for.
