P Pantera.

In case it slip your notice, I have an interest in music, and an appreciation irrespective of the genre. Heavy metal features in my collection, but to a limited extent if truth be known. I recall listening to BBC Radio 1 many moons ago and the breaking story was that a "crazed fan" got on stage and shot dead Dimebag Darrel, not a name I knew. back then. Jump to 2019 and I guy I crossed path with loved metal and played Pantera a lot. This caught my ear, and in conversation he relayed the shooting of Dimebag. It's the little moment in life that often make one connect the dots. Dimebag I salute you, this track is just excellent

U - Ultramagnetic MC's

The Prodigy sound tracked a younger me of yesteryear, and as a salute to the late Keith Flint... My fave Prodigy track (actually tied with No Good). The "change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" was sampled from an Ultramagnetic track. Sadly I can find the excellent video that was made and promptly banned in the UK as it "promoted violence toward women and glamorized drug taking" Utter rubbish... who is gonna say to themself "now I've see the video I going to go into urine soaked club toilet to bang chang, then go round the missus and batter her"

W = Wu Tang Clan (had to be right)

This is the opening track of their second Wu album following solo project . Wu Tang Forever Is a great album. There was "no father to his style" hence Old Dirty Bastard. ODB sadly passed at a young age but left his mark in the hip-hop realm. Kate Bush was name checked by Method Man (if memory is correct) as an inspiration to make music. Kate Bush with Cloudbusting, Massive Attack with Unfinished Sympathy and Wu Tang Clan with Reunited, not obvious bedfellows at first glance. But those 3 tracks all use strings (violins I believe) to devastating effect and them some. All incredible musicians. ODB I salute you.
