Great list Jetto! My opinion of the P changes everyday and I think I would go with On & On as my favorite on Stepfather, and I think I totally overlooked that album looking back now. Moving it up to 5 and moving Sincerely the P back to 8.

I'm bored and I thought it might be fun to give you guys an updated fan standing based on fan responses so far from all four of us. The lower the score the more people like the album. Gotta say it looks very solid!

I'll jump into this.

To give a little background: I first heard of The P when I played Tony Hawk’s Underground back in ’04 but I didn’t really get into them until 12 Step Program came out when it popped up on YT as a recommendation. I phased out of music for a while and then got back into it when I heard Getting Off Stage Pt 2. Wasn’t aware there was a community of The P until 2019 when Sincerely the P came out and wasn’t aware of them making the decision of their concerts being all ages. Took The P for granted but I can’t wallow over that.

Since Mikey's death I have revisited the discography and I was able to appreciate the evolution of PUTS. A lot of records that they put out which I originally did not enjoy the first time through have become my favorites (Stepfather!) and I contribute it to my increased appreciation of music within the past decade. This is a tough list to create personally since it changes constantly after I listen to a record in its entirety since it’s they’re all so good. But this is what the current list is for me. I’ll also add on my favorite track of the records and I'm combining both parts of TGOS.

1. Stepfather (On & On)
2. Question in the Form of an Answer (Stay Home)
3. O.S.T (The Dig)
4. Highlighter (At The House)
5. The Next Step (Time to Rock our sh!t)
6. 12 Step Program (Stuck between The Strand and Ste. for Reefer)
7. Carried Away (Hit The Top)
8. Getting off Stage (After These Messages)
9. Fun DMC (The Grind)
10. Or Stay Tuned (Outrun)
11. Sincerely The P (Red Onion Wrap)

De La Tribe mentioned something about Thes dropping Sincerely EP with 4 new songs but I never heard of that.

I love some of the newer stuff, but PUTS came in hot and I think their more raw sound, especially of the first two albums is to me where it's at. However, I love. O.S.T. where to me, more than any album, (And all of them are great, literally not one bad album) it all came together. I still have QITFOAA just a little bit higher cause that Jazzy mellow sound is my favorite all-time in hip-hop. I also think the People ended on a super strong note. I really think they did their strongest work at the beginning, but caught fire again at the very end. You'll see that from my list. Also including my favorite song from each because why the hell not.

1. Question in the form of an answer (E-Business. #1 song all-time)
2. O.S.T. (Keeping It Live. The mid-song beat change is damn near orgasmically beautiful)
3. The Next Step (Hardcore. So f***ing funky. Play It Again is close to #1.)
4. Getting off Stage (Back From The Dead. This whole thing is classic and I am just including both part I & II.)
5. Sincerely the P (Red Onion Wrap: Tough call with so many bangers on this album including We Get Around, and Sound of a Memory)
6. Stepfather (La9X)
7. Fun DMC (Same Beat: In my top #5 songs overall. This one is so overlooked!)
8. 12 Step Program (Roundabouts)
9. Carried Away (Carried Away. The last track gives me goosebumps it is so good. Much like Sincerely the P, The Next Step & O.S.T. we end on a high note)
10. Highlighter (Uprock Boogie & Talking Back to the Streets. Both these songs are in my top 10. But this sadly is my most inconsistent album. I like that they took chances though)
11. Or stay tuned (O.S.T. Remix: Mind you this is literally a throw away album, and it's still great!)

The original thread got shut down but I wanted to bring it back. No reason to get heated (and that was awhile ago so no reason it should). This sh!t's just for fun and there's no right answer. And, of course, all the albums are great. Just because an album is on the bottom of my list doesn't mean I don't like it.

I listened to them all, all the way through recently. Wanted to give some time to let Sincerely The P sink in (see review in Sincerely topic) and this is what I came up with. My thoughts on the previous debate of whether TGOS 1 and 2 should be put together or not: do it however it best makes sense for you. But I put them together. Not because I think they have to go together, but because otherwise they would both end up at the bottom of the list because (for me) there's no way a 6-song EP could ever be better than a full album just by itself. (But notice I did put 2 over 1.)

1. O.S.T.
2. Stepfather
3. Carried Away
4. 12 Step Program
5. Highlighter
6. ...Or Stay Tuned
7. {The Gettin' Off Stage 2;
8. The Gettin' Off Stage 1}
9. Fun DMC
10. Questions In The Form Of An Answer
11. Next Step
12. Sincerely, The P
