Music: The Perfect Chord from @darrylzero: Bad Brains

Seemingly everyone, from unmistakably top-40 pop bands like No Doubt, Sublime, and Sugar Ray, to rap icons The Beastie Boys, to metal bands The Entombed, Deftones, and Sepultura have overtly proclaimed their fandom; even dance producer Moby and pop-hip hopper Lil’ Jon have shown the band love over the decades, to say nothing of music critics. Despite the band’s remarkably high profile, all of the most effusive praise in the public arena focuses on a mere two albums: the band’s self-titled 1982 debut, and their third album, 1986’s “I Against I.”
