I've been digging a lot of Prince's stuff lately, especially his '90s albums - most of them are kind of haphazardly put together but they all have great material in abundance...
I've been listening to a lot of pop music in general but mostly from the '90s, when artists like Janet Jackson and Madonna put out great albums and weren't (always) clockin' the **** from the tabloids...
Early electronic music has also been on heavy rotation:

BQ: I don't have a favorite album - there are maybe 20 or 30 that I find myself coming back to a lot but a favorite would be tough...
King Kooba's 'Nu Found Funk' is one I like to fall back on after a long day and I've had a lot of those recently...

Sometimes I listen to either Black Metal or Electronica instead. Rarely though.
Black Metal: Cradle of Filth, Anorexia Nervosa, Dimmu Borgir, Gorgoroth
Electronica: Justice, edIT, The Glitch Mob, Boreta
BQ: Honestly, I'm unsure of my favorite hip hop album at the moment.
It's either The Cold Vein, Liquid Swords (which has been my favorite forever) or I'll Sleep When You're Dead. Decisions decisions. Anyways, they're all better than Cruelty and the Beast.
