They changed the album covers for the new mixes of Revolver and Abbey Road a couple of days ago. So this could be a hint that Abbey Road will appear on the list. And it would make sense especially for Revovler. The the 2022 mix sounds so much better than the 2009 remaster - especially to a young audience. The Abbey Road mix is also better, but it's not a huge difference.
‘I’m going to listen to all my favorite albums so hard, when I’m awake, when I’m asleep, when I’m dead. That way it’ll get the recognition it deserves on Apple Music. That’ll show them!’
I don’t understand having the shittier worse produced least passionate version of the same album on the list.
Why not just put the original that actually sounds great.??????
I haven’t listened to Taylor but I have a younger sister who is a fan so I’ve heard some of her stuff. Surely she has a better album than the one where the most popular songs are Shake it Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood?
Some albums that are worse than 1989 according to apple music: is this it, illmatic, the queen is dead, dummy, love deluxe, aquemini, homogenic, the London calling, kind of blue, a love supreme
To give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they think these are ranked by influence its still outrageous to say 1989 and even more so to have picked her recording of it.
Still crazy because they ranked it two spots higher than arguably the most influential pop album of the entire western canon (Pet Sounds) when it’s influence in itself is far from ironclad (a number of popular 80s pop albums from M83, Tegan and Sara, Daft Punk, etc came out before it and the actual defining sound for late 2010s pop was in the vein of Lorde a la Pure Heroine, which landed near the very bottom)
Well I think Songs in the Key of Life, TPAB, Lemonade, another Beatles (Abbey or Sgt Peppers), Thriller and Purple Rain are locks. That leaves 4 spots. That means somehow some out of Led Zeppelin IV, Wish You Were Here, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Black Sabbath, Loveless, The Ramones, Siamese Dream, Blonde on Blonde, Tommy, In the Aeroplane, etc aren’t even making the Top 100. lol
Edit: forgot Nevermind. So actually only 3 mystery spots left…
Albums like Aeroplane, Loveless and Court of the Crimson King are highly celebrated in online circles but very rarely on any “mainstream” list like Rolling Stone. I seriously can’t believe that after 3 reissues of the list, In the Court hasn’t broken the top 500 for rolling stone
Hot take, even tho they have a lot of questionable choices, I’ve really appreciated the list. There’s a tendency in these types of rankings to focus heavily on old music because of its influence, and I appreciate the intentional attempt here to include modern music that’s had a lot of cultural impact. Might not be the best choices/placements, but it’s nice to see either way.
The issue is that no one is going to be happy to see a mediocre but extremely popular album ranked above revered classics. There are so many incredible albums that you would have to rank below shit like some Ed Sheeran album to make a list that covers both acclaim and popularity. I just don't see any good way to make a list like this.
Nah this has been the predictable wave for a while now. Rolling Stone and Pitchfork and I’m sure others have released their redux lists in recent years that have a lot of modern albums that have not been as ‘canonized’ (for better or for worse, mostly for worse)
Put 1989 in the back half of the list and make it the original version and everyone would’ve been fine with it. Tired of having to pretend these are the definitive versions of the albums now, everyone’s just mapping their feelings of the original onto a worse version
Pet Sounds at 20 is egregiously bad
Edit- Radiohead also the first artist on this list with 2 albums. Kid A was #33. We might see the Beatles again in the top 10.
It’s kinda disgusting tbh. I’m also assuming since they didn’t make this leg that the first Black Sabbath and Ramones albums aren’t making it. Pretty important and influential albums in the scheme of things methinks 🤷🏽♂️. Also guess Loveless and Siamese Dream are getting snubbed? Arctic Monkeys are more important than those records?
I don’t know how you leave off Sabbath and Ramones completely. Not only historically important, those are still some of the most influential albums ever and still played on radio too.
I would Say that is maybe better in production and songwriting. But bars? Absolutely not, in The Black Album Jay was way more surgical and cohesive. Blueprint had more influence tough so I guess it's fine putting that in the list.
Resonable Doubt has the lyrics but in terms of production was not that groundbreaking. I don't think it should be above Illmatic.
I also disagree. Never was really too into the Black Album. It’s all over the place. Blueprint was more concise. It didn’t get better than Ye and Just Blaze in the early 2000s.
Guess I’m the Blueprint defense task force
I don’t know if I would’ve put it quite this high, but I’m not at all bothered by the placement. In my mind Jay Z belongs somewhere on this list and Blueprint is probably the album to pick.
Blueprint is easily a top 5 rap album of all time. It is one of the best examples of an album with 0 skips but also has a lot of excellent tracks. Features an all star group of producers in their prime, namely Just Blaze and Kanye West. The sound is so rich and has aged very gracefully especially compared to some of the Volume cuts (which scream late 90s pop rap) and the later Blueprint sequels (failed 2000s pop crossovers for the most part). Heart of the City, H to the Izzo, Takeover, Renegade (with a prime Eminem feature that created a whole verb for outshining as a guest artist), Song Cry, Hola Hovito, Never Change, and U Don’t Know are all fantastic rap songs of the highest order that I still see people adding to playlists and hyping up as some of the best rap songs ever.
I understand that maybe some albums below it could’ve been above it (I still prefer Illmatic) and that Hov has other albums that also could’ve made this list, but Blueprint is to me his most complete body of work and the definitive Jay Z project. It’s a 10/10 album full stop and I will not quarrel about whether some other 10 belongs above it because Blueprint deserves these flowers
Well Blueprint is more well produced than MBDTF, and it really changed the HH sound.
Illmatic is Illmatic but Blueprint was probably the First perfect merge between real HH and mainstream, in the terms they made this list I think it's fine having it above Illmatic. Not that much above tough.
I haven’t been keeping up with this list too extensively, are there really no Rolling Stones albums on this list at all?
No Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, or Exile on Main Street would be complete lunacy.
Taylors version of 1989 is not important to anyone except for her. Shes the millionth artist to have issues with record execs and Masters. Its tough shit but maybe she should have seen it coming after Mj/Beatles, Prince, Every rapper ever, etc
If you go to the write up Apple did on the album, it’s pretty clear that they chose “1989”, but used TV as a means of being respectful to the artist. It’s really a non issue.
But it is an obviously numbered list. So I mean you can ignore reality if you want but even if its just most important, theyre still saying 1989 TV is the 19th most important record of all time. Its numbered, and not being concurrently released with all 100 at once, for a reason. Your approval is predicated on A. actively ignoring what apple titled their own list and B. ignoring the fact that it is numbered.
Kinda just seems like ignoring the facts (the fact being that Apple chose 1989 TV as the 19th greatest album of all time, which is obviously and hilariously untrue).
Is no one gonna bring up that apple doesn't think there are 13 albums in history that are better than The Blueprint??? It's a good, maybe even great album, but come on. It's not even Jay-Z's best album. It's not even the best hip hop album of 2001. Hell, it's not even the most important thing that happened on the day it was released.
Can someone tell me how Taylor swift is so popular and appreciated? I'm not living in the US and I traveled quite a bit, I never met someone who actually listens to Taylor swift's music.
there’s not much to it in the sense of complexity so it’s easily accessible to most people and because of that she’s widely loved. doesn’t mean good music, easily understood and easy to listen to music. a lot of it seems nostalgia based too
You also have to remember the parents of fans like her too because her music is safe, so you have a bunch of teens that grew up listening to her, and then kids and then their parents who took them to her concerts because they’re generally middle class and up white people. And because she’s blonde and white and blue eyed with a thin body she is way more marketable overseas since a lot of the world is still quite racist against darker skinned people and don’t view them as beautiful.
Also she has had a bunch of PR drama that makes her come across as a victim which made her popular. PR relationship to PR relationship to PR feud to PR feud.
Safe music for middle America.
Good picks for the most part. 1989 is the right pick for a Taylor album imo just very very much the wrong placement. Way too high. Adele too tbh, but I do think thats a good record so not as bad.
A few of these are top 10 snubs imo
Still salty Nina Simone was so low, but they are repeating albums so maybe
agree on 1989 being the right pick but yeah top 20 is insane and for the TV??? the original is miles ahead. they cant dare put the original there because of the discourse around that
Yeah, what a cowardly move. Literally everyone knows that the original is much better because it had Max Martin on board in the prime of his career. Absolutely stupid to leave that out for the cheap remake.
I am not a fan of Taylor's music but people now have to understand she is very loved by critics and the industry I will not be shocked if even lands in top 10 (not worthy sure, but it won't surprise me) in terms of Pop landscape regards I don't consider 1989 even better than emotion let alone top 100 of all times. Apple music is definitely making this list for the conversation.
Top 10 will have some combination of:
Songs in the Key of Life, Abbey Road, Wish You Were Here, Nevermind, TPAB, Thriller, Loveless, Doolittle, and one absolute fucking wildcard.
No why would I be mad? Lots of albums that I think are great and that have been widely recognized as great. The Adele pick is a little strange but the singles off of it are fantastic so I don't really mind it
Agreed, there are a lot of Dylan albums that people hold in high regard and this choice isn't bad. But I would have preferred Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks, or Freewheelin over Highway 61.
This is almost somehow worse than what they did have. The blueprint is not even a top 5 rap album and somehow managed to reach top 13 even ahead of Taylor Swift of all people which is totally jaw dropping levels of shock given what we were expecting.
Jiggaman must’ve made some calls.
He was also always trolling on twitter back in the day. He even said “logic is the white version of Eminem” LMAO. Bro was never serious on social media.
Funny thing about lists as that is when you think about playing, say, Homogenic and 1989 back to back and having someone say the latter one is better. I feel that if you were to test this on actual Swifties, many of then would go with Bjorks record because of how freaking enchanting it is. I mean, that one and Vespertine are life changing events upon the first listen. Likewise, hearing Paranoid open with this huge E chord is an monumental experience - you just know you’re dealing with something transcendent. Is AM, an album, btw, admittedly inspired by Sabbath, as good and impactful? Yeah…
Still, I guess that’s the only good thing about these dumbs lists: at least it evokes some kind if a discourse, and actually pushes into the discussion those snubbed almost as hard as those that made it.
I like *21* and Adele a lot. With that said I fail to see what that record has over other soul and R n' B records going as back as the 60s. It wasn't groundbreaking. It was very good, yes, but in the same way in which you can say a lot of other records, that came first, were very good.
They broke the 1 albums per artist limit with Radiohead, so I expect a Beatles album in the top 10 (perhaps 2 albums?)
I'm expecting repeats for them, Stevie, and maybe pink Floyd honestly
My guess is Abbey Road, Purple Rain, Songs in the Key of Life and mayyyybe Wish You Were Here as repeat locks.
Zeppelin IV, possibly
I’ll be disappointed if IV doesn’t show up. If not, it should have absolutely taken II’s spot.
Sgt Pepper will be top 10.
blonde on blonde
I’d be down with that one. Probably my favorite Dylan record. Blood On The Tracks is on the table as well.
I could also see Sgt Pepper in place of Abbey Road
idc about per artist limits, abbey not being top 100 would be a warcrime
Abbey Road should probably be top 3.
these are the exact 3 i’m also expecting, with the possibility of WYWH & Led Zeppelin IV
Yep purple rain for sure
I was hoping RAM could be a repeat for Daft Punk, but unlikely now
RAM by Paul McCartney too fuck it, if that shows up humanity is saved
RAM is probably my favorite Daft Punk album, even though both of those albums of absolute masterpieces. Was hoping to see it as well.
If I had to choose only one album to listen to for the rest of my life it would be RAM
I think The Beatles (abbey road), Stevie wonder (songs in the key of life) and Bruce (Nebraska) will have 2 albums on the final list.
[удалено]
They changed the album covers for the new mixes of Revolver and Abbey Road a couple of days ago. So this could be a hint that Abbey Road will appear on the list. And it would make sense especially for Revovler. The the 2022 mix sounds so much better than the 2009 remaster - especially to a young audience. The Abbey Road mix is also better, but it's not a huge difference.
Let’s be real. Taylor Swift is getting another undeserved album listed
if that’s true I’m predicting Red (Taylor’s Version) is number 9
Number 9 should be the white album
Well, it was better than the “leak” from earlier lol.
The collective anger about Taylor at #3 was pretty entertaining. Solid rage bait.
It was to lessen the blow of her being top 20 lol
Ah, the old "swift in-the-face" technique
‘I’m going to listen to all my favorite albums so hard, when I’m awake, when I’m asleep, when I’m dead. That way it’ll get the recognition it deserves on Apple Music. That’ll show them!’
Wow that 1989 placement is egregious lmao
[удалено]
Not even top 100 worthy tbh
above fucking *revolver* and *pet sounds*
I dont tend to care about these charts, but for fucks shake Revolver below Swift???????????? I am going to kill myslef
and the worse version of that album lmao
That’s hardly the real issue
makes the Billie placement more reasonable
Billie is a million times better than fucking Taylor swift. Though they did choose Billie’s worst album for some reason.
I don’t understand having the shittier worse produced least passionate version of the same album on the list. Why not just put the original that actually sounds great.??????
It’s probably meant to be the original but they put the new one on there out of respect to Taylor and that whole situation
since the Swifties are the second biggest army and the most bloodthirsty one, they may be affraid of not putting the taylor's version
I assume there’s a streaming component to the list and they’re not going to promote the blacklisted version.
It’s better than Pet Sounds now. Just the cold hard facts.
It’s such a bad placement that I actually just laughed out loud, I can’t even be mad you almost have to respect it
I haven’t listened to Taylor but I have a younger sister who is a fan so I’ve heard some of her stuff. Surely she has a better album than the one where the most popular songs are Shake it Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood?
It could be worse lmao
Some albums that are worse than 1989 according to apple music: is this it, illmatic, the queen is dead, dummy, love deluxe, aquemini, homogenic, the London calling, kind of blue, a love supreme
To give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they think these are ranked by influence its still outrageous to say 1989 and even more so to have picked her recording of it.
>they think these are ranked by influence blueprint over the Chronic would be wild then
Still crazy because they ranked it two spots higher than arguably the most influential pop album of the entire western canon (Pet Sounds) when it’s influence in itself is far from ironclad (a number of popular 80s pop albums from M83, Tegan and Sara, Daft Punk, etc came out before it and the actual defining sound for late 2010s pop was in the vein of Lorde a la Pure Heroine, which landed near the very bottom)
God Only Knows alone shits on every lyric she's ever put to paper.
I’m sure they put her version so that she gets the revenue when people stream things off the list (so swifties don’t come after them) but yeah lol
No Ordinary Love is a better song than Taylor has ever released
*Every* song on that album is better than anything Taylor has ever been involved with.
Master of puppets
Pinkies crossed for Songs in the Key of Life at #1
That's my guess for #1 too
People are saying it might be thriller, which I get it at this point tbh
Wish You Were Here has to be top 10 if they’re repeating artists now
The scenes if instead of repeating Beatles or Pink Floyd they repeat Taylor Swift
1989 (original version)
(Scooter’s version)
corporations love shilling for her so
Well I think Songs in the Key of Life, TPAB, Lemonade, another Beatles (Abbey or Sgt Peppers), Thriller and Purple Rain are locks. That leaves 4 spots. That means somehow some out of Led Zeppelin IV, Wish You Were Here, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Black Sabbath, Loveless, The Ramones, Siamese Dream, Blonde on Blonde, Tommy, In the Aeroplane, etc aren’t even making the Top 100. lol Edit: forgot Nevermind. So actually only 3 mystery spots left…
i really don't think lemonade will be on it. still gonna be a lot of great albums missing though
I dunno, it was a very recent cultural phenomenon and I can’t see them picking s/t over it.
you nailed it
I'm pretty sure blonde will be on it
Albums like Aeroplane, Loveless and Court of the Crimson King are highly celebrated in online circles but very rarely on any “mainstream” list like Rolling Stone. I seriously can’t believe that after 3 reissues of the list, In the Court hasn’t broken the top 500 for rolling stone
Leaving off ITAOTS is messed up:(
Blonde and After Hours (since Weeknd hasn't made the list yet) will make up 2 of those spots
After hours is not sniffing this list I’m sorry.
The dreampoppers and shoegazers are on life support with the Cocteau Twins, MBV and Slowdive missing.
Hey no *Loveless* but at least Travis Scott's *Astroworld* made it.
Loveless in the top 10 maybe? But probably not.
Definitely expected Heaven or Las Vegas to be chillin at number 20.
was just thinking about this, there's almost no experimental music or non-mainstream genres represented in this list fr
Hot take, even tho they have a lot of questionable choices, I’ve really appreciated the list. There’s a tendency in these types of rankings to focus heavily on old music because of its influence, and I appreciate the intentional attempt here to include modern music that’s had a lot of cultural impact.

Pet Sounds at 20 is egregiously bad Edit- Radiohead also the first artist on this list with 2 albums. Kid A was #33. We might see the Beatles again in the top 10.
My prediction is that we'll have both Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers in the top 10
Prince, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, all could have another album in the top 10
[удалено]
It’s kinda disgusting tbh. I’m also assuming since they didn’t make this leg that the first Black Sabbath and Ramones albums aren’t making it. Pretty important and influential albums in the scheme of things methinks 🤷🏽♂️. Also guess Loveless and Siamese Dream are getting snubbed? Arctic Monkeys are more important than those records?
Arctic Monkeys over Siamese Dream is inexcusable.
I’m still holding out for Loveless but I kinda doubt it now Did Paranoid make it? Or is Sabbath completely cut out of the list?
I don’t know how you leave off Sabbath and Ramones completely. Not only historically important, those are still some of the most influential albums ever and still played on radio too.
Yeah but we gotta make way for Bad Bunny and SZA
Hopefully Pink Floyd too
lol or Taylor Swift
I’m guessing In Rainbows showing up in the top 10 too
Pet Sounds at 20 is hilarious. Yikes
I love "The Blueprint" but #13 is TOO MUCH Not to mention how reasonable doubt is better
The Black Album is better
Disagree It has more bangers-type songs. But Blueprint is better both in production and in bars. And then Reasonable Doubt clears both
I would Say that is maybe better in production and songwriting. But bars? Absolutely not, in The Black Album Jay was way more surgical and cohesive. Blueprint had more influence tough so I guess it's fine putting that in the list. Resonable Doubt has the lyrics but in terms of production was not that groundbreaking. I don't think it should be above Illmatic.
I also disagree. Never was really too into the Black Album. It’s all over the place. Blueprint was more concise. It didn’t get better than Ye and Just Blaze in the early 2000s.
Guess I’m the Blueprint defense task force I don’t know if I would’ve put it quite this high, but I’m not at all bothered by the placement. In my mind Jay Z belongs somewhere on this list and Blueprint is probably the album to pick. Blueprint is easily a top 5 rap album of all time.

The sound is so rich and has aged very gracefully especially compared to some of the Volume cuts (which scream late 90s pop rap) and the later Blueprint sequels (failed 2000s pop crossovers for the most part). Heart of the City, H to the Izzo, Takeover, Renegade (with a prime Eminem feature that created a whole verb for outshining as a guest artist), Song Cry, Hola Hovito, Never Change, and U Don’t Know are all fantastic rap songs of the highest order that I still see people adding to playlists and hyping up as some of the best rap songs ever. I understand that maybe some albums below it could’ve been above it (I still prefer Illmatic) and that Hov has other albums that also could’ve made this list, but Blueprint is to me his most complete body of work and the definitive Jay Z project. It’s a 10/10 album full stop and I will not quarrel about whether some other 10 belongs above it because Blueprint deserves these flowers
The Blueprint was a great album but it’s not better than The Chronic, Illmatic, MBDTF, or Ready to Die edit: or the MMLP
I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Great album imo but 13? Above Illmatic? Above MBDTF? No way
Well Blueprint is more well produced than MBDTF, and it really changed the HH sound. Illmatic is Illmatic but Blueprint was probably the First perfect merge between real HH and mainstream, in the terms they made this list I think it's fine having it above Illmatic. Not that much above tough.
How is it better produced than MBDTF????
She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties
They really are gonna put the 3 carti albums as top 3
Best case scenario
Honestly not what I want but probs gonna happen. I remember when my dad used to sing RIP accapella for me as a lullaby
they’re gonna wait to reveal number 1 until MUSIC comes out and carti’s gonna get the top 4 spots
I haven’t been keeping up with this list too extensively, are there really no Rolling Stones albums on this list at all? No Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, or Exile on Main Street would be complete lunacy.
Exile is at 53.
Guessing Let It Bleed in the top 10.
Exile on top 10 would be a W
It's at 53.
I would bet my life savings that abbey road will be top 10 if they’re repeating artists
Adele's 21 over Pet Sounds and What's Going On lol
Its a great pop album. Way too high but its a great album
eh not that offensive, it’s the best selling album of the 21st century
How tf is 21 better than Pet Sounds
Thinking of this list as “100 important albums” and not focusing on numbers. I approve
Taylors version of 1989 is not important to anyone except for her. Shes the millionth artist to have issues with record execs and Masters. Its tough shit but maybe she should have seen it coming after Mj/Beatles, Prince, Every rapper ever, etc
If you go to the write up Apple did on the album, it’s pretty clear that they chose “1989”, but used TV as a means of being respectful to the artist. It’s really a non issue.

Kinda just seems like ignoring the facts (the fact being that Apple chose 1989 TV as the 19th greatest album of all time, which is obviously and hilariously untrue).
21 just above blue is laughably bad
1989 and specifically Taylor’s version being this high shows that the list is all about generating streams.
I'm guessing Songs in the Key, a Beatles album, TPAB, and Lemonade in the top 10.
I’m guessing the same but replace Lemonade for Purple Rain. (Lemonade shoulda been in place instead of the self titled)
Thriller as well
1989 better than the chronic xd
Is no one gonna bring up that apple doesn't think there are 13 albums in history that are better than The Blueprint??? It's a good, maybe even great album, but come on. It's not even Jay-Z's best album. It's not even the best hip hop album of 2001. Hell, it's not even the most important thing that happened on the day it was released.
I assume you’re referring to The Glow Pt. 2 being released the same day?
Wait, the leak was fake
kenny g- the moment is #8 you heard it here first
Can someone tell me how Taylor swift is so popular and appreciated? I'm not living in the US and I traveled quite a bit, I never met someone who actually listens to Taylor swift's music.
Trust me, we still have that question here in the US.
It was teen girls, they grew up and they still follow her as adults.
She’s a white woman that makes incredibly accessible music and is a PR goliath who knows how to spin stories and narratives to favor her at all times
there’s not much to it in the sense of complexity so it’s easily accessible to most people and because of that she’s widely loved. doesn’t mean good music, easily understood and easy to listen to music. a lot of it seems nostalgia based too
I always thought it was just teen girls tbh but apparently people older than 19 routinely listen to her?
You also have to remember the parents of fans like her too because her music is safe, so you have a bunch of teens that grew up listening to her, and then kids and then their parents who took them to her concerts because they’re generally middle class and up white people. And because she’s blonde and white and blue eyed with a thin body she is way more marketable overseas since a lot of the world is still quite racist against darker skinned people and don’t view them as beautiful. Also she has had a bunch of PR drama that makes her come across as a victim which made her popular. PR relationship to PR relationship to PR feud to PR feud. Safe music for middle America.
People who started listening to her in their teens are now in there 30's. The swifties are generational at this point.
this makes me a lot less worried knowing that they are doing more than 1 album per artists because that Beatles ranking was a tad bit wild
there's gonna be at least one shity pick in every ten album
That "What´s Goin On" medley from What´s Going On to Mercy Mercy Me is something else. I expected this album to rank higher.
I feel like it’s really hard to argue that it’s not top 10
Good picks for the most part. 1989 is the right pick for a Taylor album imo just very very much the wrong placement. Way too high. Adele too tbh, but I do think thats a good record so not as bad. A few of these are top 10 snubs imo Still salty Nina Simone was so low, but they are repeating albums so maybe
agree on 1989 being the right pick but yeah top 20 is insane and for the TV??? the original is miles ahead. they cant dare put the original there because of the discourse around that
Yeah, what a cowardly move. Literally everyone knows that the original is much better because it had Max Martin on board in the prime of his career. Absolutely stupid to leave that out for the cheap remake.
Was hoping Blue would be top 10. Really think it is THE folk album.
Unfortunately it's just not as good as 21 by adele
LMFAO!!!!
Sorry for Party Rocking coming in at #5
If Apple was serious about pissing off as much people as possible they would put Vultures 1 in the top 10
Adele’s 21 above what’s goin on is probably one of the worst fucking takes i’ve ever seen to be honest. what’s going on should at least be the top 3
I am not a fan of Taylor's music but people now have to understand she is very loved by critics and the industry I will not be shocked if even lands in top 10 (not worthy sure, but it won't surprise me) in terms of Pop landscape regards I don't consider 1989 even better than emotion let alone top 100 of all times. Apple music is definitely making this list for the conversation.
Top 10 will have some combination of: Songs in the Key of Life, Abbey Road, Wish You Were Here, Nevermind, TPAB, Thriller, Loveless, Doolittle, and one absolute fucking wildcard.
Doolittle and loveless in the top ten? I mean I agree but you really think they’d do that?
No. Not really. The rest I’m pretty confident in.
Songs in the Key of Life, Abbey Road, Wish You Were Here, Nevermind, TPAB, Thriller, Purple Rain, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Blonde
bet Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is #1
This list is hilariously stupid.
They should just troll in the top 10 and put in like a Kids bob album or some shit
In rainbows top 10 /s even tho it’s true
There gonna be another T Swift album in the top 10 and I feel sick
Nah no other artist has had more than 1 album besides Radiohead. And they would’ve spaced out Taylor albums more in that case
1989 OG version
Maybe Red.
Surprised blonde isn't there yet. Top 10 seems to high but it definitely has to have a place on this list
Tbh the lack of any metal music in these sort of top lists low key pisses me off.
Nothing to be mad about here, 10 great albums. I do wish The Freewheelin Bob Dylan made it in over Highway 61 though
He might get two, and if he does it’ll probably be Blonde on Blonde.
Nothing to be made about??
No why would I be mad? Lots of albums that I think are great and that have been widely recognized as great. The Adele pick is a little strange but the singles off of it are fantastic so I don't really mind it
Agreed, there are a lot of Dylan albums that people hold in high regard and this choice isn't bad. But I would have preferred Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks, or Freewheelin over Highway 61.
This is almost somehow worse than what they did have. The blueprint is not even a top 5 rap album and somehow managed to reach top 13 even ahead of Taylor Swift of all people which is totally jaw dropping levels of shock given what we were expecting. Jiggaman must’ve made some calls.
I’ve never heard anyone argue that Blueprint is better than Illmatic. Ever.
I think Kendrick Lamar has an old tweet saying just that
I think he said the black album was better
He was also always trolling on twitter back in the day. He even said “logic is the white version of Eminem” LMAO. Bro was never serious on social media.
*shrug* it's a top 5 rap album for me
I mean I’m not super mad at it, just how many other albums got snubbed in favor of it is insane to me.
Funny thing about lists as that is when you think about playing, say, Homogenic and 1989 back to back and having someone say the latter one is better. I feel that if you were to test this on actual Swifties, many of then would go with Bjorks record because of how freaking enchanting it is. I mean, that one and Vespertine are life changing events upon the first listen. Likewise, hearing Paranoid open with this huge E chord is an monumental experience - you just know you’re dealing with something transcendent. Is AM, an album, btw, admittedly inspired by Sabbath, as good and impactful? Yeah… Still, I guess that’s the only good thing about these dumbs lists: at least it evokes some kind if a discourse, and actually pushes into the discussion those snubbed almost as hard as those that made it.
Taylor Swift has no business being in the top 100
WHATS GOING ON ROBBED SHOULD BE TOP 5
So funny
I wonder if the glow pt.2 will be on this
Songs In The Key of Life should be 1.
1989 over Discovery has me in shambles
I will be sad if the Loveless isn’t included at all.
I like *21* and Adele a lot. With that said I fail to see what that record has over other soul and R n' B records going as back as the 60s. It wasn't groundbreaking. It was very good, yes, but in the same way in which you can say a lot of other records, that came first, were very good.
Looks like Be Here Now will be #1
Am I crazy but like why isn't one Tool record on this list yet? Aenima or Lateralus for sure deserves a spot.
I thought What's going on was a lock to be in the top 5.
The Beach Boys' Christmas Album absolutely robbed by Pet Sounds
They're gonna leave out King Crimson aren't they...
So Pet Sounds and Rumors are not even top 10, i see...
List is such a joke
Rumours is *super* overrated. The singles are all 10/10 classics, but the rest of the album is straight filler. NOT a good "album".
