RAISING HELL by Run-DMC

For some reason, recently, Run-DMC's "It's Tricky" was stuck in my head. I had on an old zip drive with "Peter Piper", "It's Tricky", and "You Be Illin'", so I decided to pick up the whole album. Good stuff. Nice companion piece to The Beastie Boys' License to Ill. Though I removed Run-DMC's "Dumb Girl" from my iPod because it's slightly misogynist. And I like the extended version of "Walk This Way"; the 45 I bought as a teenager didn't have Joe Perry's impressive guitar work at the end . . . forgot what a great guitarist he is, since he's overshadowed by Steven Tyler and Eddie Van Halen.
