Best album made whilst in jail

[Angel_Grace_Blue 0]

So, as I was listening to Pimp C's latest album, I was wondering just what it says in the title, what is the best album made while the person/group is in prison?

 

Also, are there really any other genres of music that have anyone to apply for this 'reward'?

I'll be the person who "cleverly" suggests that Johnny Cash's two prison albums might qualify. Never heard 'em myself.

Cash's prison albums are good for people who don't really like Cash all that much. And for those who do, I suppose.

Johnny Cash is another one of those musicians (along with Bob Marley and others) who people act like they are big fans of, yet they couldn't name more than ten songs by said artist.

Burzum's prison albums are pretty good.

Really? I thought they'd been pretty much slated. I dunno if he should be allowed to release stuff, personally. That dude is fucked. He's currently gone for the blond Hitler youth look.

The only one I could come up with was Scott Weiland's 12 Bar Blues.

His last ones were no where near as good as his earlier work, but I wouldn't call them bad.

 

As for his mentality, he's calmed down quite a bit since being imprisoned. He explains away the hair as being exceptionally easy to keep clean in an environment where showering doesn't happen much.

He can't really explain away the neo-nazism though.

While I think he still pretty nazi-ish, he's mostly left all that behind and has become an avid follower of Norse mythology.

Let him out then!

I think he's better off where he is.

 

I think churches are rather pretty myself.

re: the thread subject ... I'm pretty sure GG Allin did a few albums while behind bars.

 

re: National Socialist Black Metal ... prefacing this by saying that I've never been racist or Nazi, but when I was a skinhead the metal kids were about as beloved as the jocks. I can't imagine the few RAC that I knew buddying up with a metalhead, even if they have a shared hatred of the Jews ... so it's still very weird for me to hear about that scene (someone correct if I'm wrong, and Burzum is someone other than the cat that I'm thinking of.)
