nail on the head. while all were forging the same path generally around the same time, its readily evident how much more attention 3ft High and It Takes a Nation received, thus corroborating that they were in fact the more influential recordings. that isnt to say PB was any less of an accomplishment, but its widely understood that this album was recognized well after the fact; once the production techniques in question had already been established into the popular zeitgeist.
