If U Seek Amy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 9 hours ago, makeawish said: i know it's all a bit of fun but it just seems so random that a bunch of industry types have sat there and said "what is the 85th best record ever made? it is golden hour! it's official!" This is how I feel when I look at it too logically. Like I do really just take these as fun. But then sometimes when I really think about it, it is very odd 1
Mr.X Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Nina Simone, Patti Smith and Massive Attack YES!! Three of my fav albums right there 1
Letemtalk Posted May 15 Posted May 15 17 hours ago, Garbaj said: 87. Blue Lines - Massive Attack Great to see Massive Attack in there. I wonder if this was the pick because Blue Lines is considered to be the first trip hop album. In many ways I prefer Mezzanine, although I'm giving Protection a re-listen at the moment. 3
Gossip_Boy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Oh nice to see they included Doggystyle. Snoop's discography as a whole falls on the weaker side but his debut is phenomenal. One of the best produced 90s hip hop albums ever, next to The Chronic and one of the best West Coast releases ever. 1
Aquamarine Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) positive reactions so far: pure heroine her best album yup. golden hour, horses and after the gold rush are iconic as well. glad legend nina's getting her flowers, but pastel blues and nina simone sings the blues are even better than i put a spell on you. hope those are further up the list.

Hex Posted May 15 Posted May 15 it should go without aging that this is a list of *popular* music in the Western World. It does not recognize art music or anything outside of the popular, mainstream realm. Think of it more as a ranking of the most popular mainstream successful albums of recent-ish history. 1
bielneira Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Not them placing 'Born To Die' higher than 'Norman F****** Rockwell!'... bfr

UseYourIllusion2002 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Like a Prayer being at #77 but that Bad Bunny album being at #76 flop list 1 1
Slayn Posted May 15 Posted May 15 90 is Back In Black, AC/DC who tf is NIKI and who tf was trying to promote her by faking her placement here
