lol how are those shocking or terrible when every single one of those albums is acclaimed? Shocking would be putting a panned/disliked album over something in the canon.

Glad that Like a prayer, The fame monster and Control made it

 

Apple music is very American, I wouldn't expect to see Anti charting anywhere else 

 

I hope Back to Black and Ray of light are in

 

Flop list in my opinion, we are talking about the best albums of all time

ANTI :clap3: Acclaimed masterpiece. Rihanna did what needed to be done there. Crazy that she spoke this into existence, love that for her.

 

Very happy with the choices & artists so far, and great albums from the ones I did not know, it's a quality list.

ANTI been charting in some countries in Europe too, its recurrent numbers are pretty solid and all those numbers are not are not coming from the US. I recently learned that Kiss it Better is still charting in Asia for instance. Its just a beloved album at this point, that much should be clear.

That's.. a bit of a high ranking for ANTI especially given some earlier entries. But I'll just look at this as a random list of the 100 greates albums and not a ranking, I think it makes more sense like that. 

Its all subjective at the end, but I feel it should be even higher its nowhere near an average album. It deserves its spot and I think its fair while wishing it was higher

At this point, I can be sure they may include Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics". :heart:

It's her best record and more magnum opus than "Stripped".

It's charting and it's pulling great streaming numbers but to include it in the best 100 albums of all time for me it's a reach, same with that Lana album, I mean her first album would deserve to be there but

What do you think happened with those other albums included, they also were charting and earning units in their respective years and no one probably thought this is one of the best things ever in its field, until later. If anything, they continued to be relevant over the years and people slowly realised that they have proven themselves, same thing with ANTI, we just knew that it was a great and kept listening and so have the critics and industry people who put this album in there. I don't understand why it is especially unworthy? Could it be because you may not respect the artist?

Beyonce ST album at #36 :clap3:

When you let go the positions conundrum, this list becomes enjoyable. I have been fun listening to the Apple Music radio dedicated to this list. I'm even doing a playlist myself inspired by it

Pleasantly surprised these made the list, Enter the Wu-Tang could be top 20 tho knowing the mess they gonna put ahead of it.

Posted (edited)

40. Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man The Way I Loved You

39. Nas - Illmatic

38. Carole King - Tapestry

37. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the WuTang (36 Chambers)

36. Beyonce - Beyonce

35. The Clash - London Calling

34. Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

33. Radiohead - Kid A

32. Notorious BIG - Ready to Die

31. Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

 

Still one album per artist. But some big names that usually make the top 20 in those lists already out (Aretha, Radiohead, The Clash). Looks like Alanis will be the representative of female alternative rock, so much lower chances for Fiona Apple, Hole, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Liz Phair, to make the list unfortunately. 
 

We still have these usual suspects to go:


Miles Davis

Bob Dylan

Beatles

Joni Mitchell

Bruce Springsteen

Marvin Gaye

Taylor Swift

Michael Jackson

Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin

Jay-Z

Kanye West

Kendrick Lamar

White Stripes

My Bloody Valentine*

David Bowie

Mingus*

Lauryn Hill

Beach Boys

Pixies*

Nirvana

Public Enemy making the list at all let alone that high might be restoring my faith in this list. Classic album.

 

I prefer OK Computer but pretty ok Radiohead pick. 

Posted

I am 100% sure Taylor is not making this list. I don't know why people are pissed already lol

 

Bey will have 2 more entries ig 

Anti is too high but ig Rih retirement kind of helps the narrative

Rhythm Nation deserved over Control but a slay nonetheless:clap3:

Prince? Idk if he's already been included, but there's no way Purple Rain isn't making it in the top 20

Can agree with these placements. I think we can see Norah Jones in Top 30.

 

Def Lauryn Hill for Top 10.

This list is low key eating so far. I guess Taylor's only chance rn is folklore making the top 30... but not sure.
