UseYourIllusion2002 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 *this is my first time making a thread so sorry if it’s in the wrong section* But basically what are albums that are listed in an artist “Essential Albums” section that is underserved. AND what are artists that should have more essential albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Music Box deserves a spot for “Hero” and “Without You” alone. Those songs are 90s classics. But yeah I can’t believe Butterfly isn’t one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourIllusion2002 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Madonna should have Erotica added to hers. Yes the album was a decline in sales but the Sex book has to be one of the biggest pop culture events of the early 90s. The album is iconic and has gotten retrospective acclaim.

Skip Whitney's discography apart from her debut and Bodyguard soundtrack Honestly, it's best to listen to Mariah and Madonna in order. There's so much evolution.

If you don’t have patience to do their whole discographies I’d say for Madonna do The Immaculate Collection —> Erotica —> Bedtime Stories —> and Ray of Light. The Immaculate Collection is in chronological order anyways so you’ll experience the evolution in her music. For Mariah (at least her 90s work) I’d skip Music Box and Rainbow.

gustavothehuman Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Taylor: Fearless TV, Red TV, 1989 and Folklore I personally think her selection is perfect. Coldplay: Parachutes and AROBTTH Great picks but I think they should also add Viva la Vida (their best album) and AHFOD (their biggest 2010s era).

UseYourIllusion2002 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I just saw the title, I mean "Apple Music" but you guys figured that out Also I think The Immaculate Collection should be an essential album. I know it's not a studio album and they mainly only include studio albums BUT Morrisey has a compilation album for one of his essential albums. Also, TIC as an album is iconic for many reasons.
