Apple Music just announced their greatest album of all time.

I like the list a lot.

It's not my list, or even close to it, but it's an interesting selection of the classics that appear on every list, a handful of more recent albums, and a few surprises.

These lists are good for sparking discussion and getting people to listen to something new. They're never definitive, and they aren't bad if they differ from yours.

if it was framed as a list of 100 great albums the discourse would be much different than it is.

But saying its the 100 best albums and putting some of these on here while leaving out some incredibly obvious choices is wack.

'Best' is just rhetoric. There's never going to be a 'best'. It doesn't bother me if they call it that.

And it's just boring looking at the same old lists of the same of stuff all the time.

I mean yeah I agree it can get boring looking at the same lists but I dont think Taylor swifts 1989 re-recording as a top 20 album is particularly interesting lmao

Some of the choices here just dont have business being in a top album list at all, thats my problem with most of it lol

It's missing anything country at all. I'd at least throw in something like Willie Nelson's Stardust or Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around.

I was going to say that the list was crap when I saw Kid A

Not gonna lie, I have no idea who the 1st place artist is.

Anyways the list mostly makes sense, they were obviously not gonna throw in any curve balls like The Human Equation by Ayreon since stuff like progressive rock operas are not commercially viable. But as a list of 100 albums people should know of it is fine.

I do think the biggest omission is Boston's self titled album

dont know who the Fugees are? SMH

Like you mean to tell me Lorde, Billie Eilish, Beyonce, Taylor Swift belong on this list but nothing from Diana Ross/The Supremes, Donna Summer, Dolly Parton, Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan, etc?

Is Madonna on the list? I really don't want to scroll through this shit on mobile lol

I don't know who Ayreon is/are, so it didn't feel right to point that out.

Patti Smith's Horses is a bit of an omission.

I don't mind Lorde and Beyonce on the list.

Horses is at #83

i dont think those albums are bad or anything I just think there is definitely recency bias when it comes to women artists on these types of lists

or rather, music journalism has spent so long not actually taking music from women seriously that they have no idea how to rectify that

Legit surprised to see The Strokes on there, as they're one of my fav bands.

Not so surprised, but happy to see The Cure make it, Disintegration is an easy 10/10 album.

Aquemini is a fantastic album too, so it was cool to see here.

Dark Side of the Moon is GOAT tier, so being as low as it was kind of surprised me. And being the only Floyd album on the list was kind of shocking too. It's among the best selling albums ever and was on the top 100 longer than any other album ever, feel like it deserved more love here than 28.

Discovery is another all timer for me, so happy to see it ranked in the teens.

Beastie Boys making the list but for the wrong album was kind of weird to me. License to Ill was legit non stop bangers. No idea why Paul's Boutique was put in over it. Maybe along with it, but definitely not over it.
