You're lucky or maybe just extra forgiving. The vast majority of my favorite artists have made a lot of worthless stuff. Doesn't make me love them any less. Anyway..



A Tribe Called Quest

They made three of the most important and enjoyable albums in hip hop history. That was 1990 - 1993. Then they released a fourth album in 1996 that was worthwhile but markedly worse, and the magic was clearly gone. Then they made some other bull**** after that.

Expiry date: 1995
