Apple Music reveals its 100 Best Albums list


Recommended Posts

Overall I think there's a recency bias to this list because it's meant to get people to engage with the albums more but the overall concept of "ranking" albums is so subjective? trivial? random even? It's really nothing to pop your veins over. :deadbanana2:

Please discuss streaming in STREAMING thread? I haven't seen you commented before but it seems like all your post are dedicated to Beyoncé? 

Pls. Streaming aka real evidence of a good album that people come back to over and over again because it's good is way more indicative than what members on this limited site say.

Can y'all stop reporting off-topic posts in here when people are discussing opinions on albums, which is kind of the point of this thread? :rip: If someone starts talking politics or something, by all means, report that.

 

Anyway, folklore should have been on the list instead of 1989 :sorry:

You want us to actually believe Ed Sheeran is a better artist than Stevie Wonder just because he has more streams? :hoetenks:

If only that no. 1 placement could inspire Ms. Lauryn Hill to make another album

The most recent album on that list is 1989 Taylor's Version which is a 6 month old album and honestly has no place on this list. :dies:

Places for Top 100 are so limited unlike Rolling Stone's 500 GOAT list hence the only artist that I think deserve to have multiple spots is Radiohead. I would remove certain albums and replace them: 

 

  • Sufjan Stevens, Illinois replacing Prince, Sign O' the Times
  • Arcade Fire, Funeral replacing Beyonce, Self-Title
  • Fiona Apple, Fetch the Bolt Cutter replacing The Beatles, Revolver

I think it's actually in her best interest to not release another album at this point. Her album is so revered that if the follow-up was a dud there's a risk that it would ruin her legacy.

 

And the fact that she's been able to live her life and continue touring for 25 years off ONE album is so impressive. :clap3:

Two of those albums should never be replaced.

I think it's fair to assume Taylor, Madonna, Mariah, and possibly Janet will have multiple entries. Especially since Lorde is guaranteed 2. They're the perfect combination of commercially, critically, and culturally successful peaks.
 

Every other pop girl will get 1 at best though. 

I told you there is no way Taylor will have multiple while Beyonce has one . No matter the commercial success, when it comes to critical acclaim and legendary status, Beyoncé will always come before Taylor. Beyoncé is the greatest mainstream female artist of the last 25 years.
