"Suckas write me checks and then they bounce. So I reach into my pocket for the fresh amount".

I always liked the guitar (especially opening chords) from 'No Sleep till Brooklyn' - simple, but effective.

Edit - just looked it up and found out for the first time that it was Kerry King - mind blown. Always sounded like a 5150 to me - anyone know what amp it was?

The In Sounds From Way Out and Check Your Head were always my favorites.

Check Your Head for me as well.

Was in heavy rotation together with 'House of Pain' at that time

Check Your Head was always my favorite, I listened to that on cassette so much during high school and have many great memories hanging with friends with that album on. So many songs on that one that I like.
Also, from Ill Communication, I like Root Down.
And it was always cool to see them pick up instruments and jam some funk. Glad I got to see them in concert when Ill Communication came out.

King also did the guitars for "Fight for your right." Pretty sure it was just his Marshall(s).

Yes, that's a cool one, all the instrumentals all in one album

I also totally forgot they had released an early EP of their hardcore punk stuff from back in the early 80's - Aglio e Olio.
