Public Enemy - ‘New Whirl Odor’

At the close of 1999, The New York Times named Public Enemy's music to their list of the "25 Most Significant Albums of the Last Century" and in May 2005 The US government's Library of Congress included 'Fear of a Black Planet' in a list of 50 recordings worthy of preserving in the National Recording Registry.

Last year, Rolling Stone magazine called the group one of the fifty greatest artists of all time, and in 1999 Vanity Fair profiled the group in their Icons of Rock special section. Most recently, Spin magazine chose two PE albums for their "100 Greatest Albums (1985-2005)" list, with 'It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' coming in at #2 and 'Fear of a Black Planet' at #21.

The numbers that reflect their extraordinary career are staggering: The band has embarked on over 35 tours, performing over 1300 concerts to fans in 40 countries. Three albums are certified multi-platinum, three more are gold, with four gold singles and a platinum-selling home video, Public Enemy are back with a vengeance. Time to lay down the lawpage << 1 2 >>
