Reacting to Apple Music’s Top 100 Albums List

Apple Music recently released their Top 100 Albums List, and I have…opinions lol. Here’s my thoughts! Let me know if you agree!

J-Thunda Music Reviews Intro (New Channel)
The law of equivalent exchange exists. I love the fact that you added Queen I (an underrated debut, in my opinion); but, you missed out on Quadrophenia.
Do you have any interest in Genesis? I really like Nursery Cryme.
I’ve tried to get into early Genesis, I wasn’t a huge fan, but I’d be willing to revisit them.
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews Nursery Cryme is more raw. I feel there are some early metal elements in some of the songs.
Some bands I can think of are Zebra, Coney Hatch, Kick Axe, La Chinga, Spell, and Blood Ceremony. The last three are still recording and releasing but these days it takes time before a new album comes out.
I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these bands, which of these do you recommend the most?
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews I named only bands I recommend the most. La Chinga are like seventies hard rock but with a modern heaviness. Blood Ceremony are like early seventies occult rock with flute but started out more like a heavy stoner rock band. Zebra are a melodic, slightly progressive, hard rock band. Kick Axe are an eighties heavy metal band. Spell was a new wave of traditional heavy metal band but have evolved their style into the mystical. And Coney Hatch was an eighties hard rock band.
Great topic idea and cool picks! Creed gets a lot of flack. I have one album and I really like a few of the songs on it.
Definitely agree!
Queen's first album is great and surprisingly pretty heavy for them which i think is cool. house of the holy is also a big favorite for me to
Agreed!
1973 was the best year for post-Beatles music: Red Rose Speedway and Band on the Run by Paul; Living in the Material World by George; Mind Games by John; and Ringo by Ringo. When you take your deep dive into Wings, you can skip the first album (Wild Life), but all the others, from Red Rose Speedway to Back to the Egg, are great fun, with interesting changes from album to album.
@@bobsmith3217 thanks for the Wings tip lol
A few more for consideration: Simon and Garfunkel: Only five albums, but a major part of '60s folk rock, and Paul Simon went on to have a major solo career. Sex Pistols: Another single album band, not a huge personal fan, but undeniably massive influence on punk. The Velvet Underground: Hugely influential if not very popular '60s band. Technically has 5 albums, but the 5th was all session musicians with one replacement band member, so not sure if that counts. Rage Against the Machine: Major '90s protest rock band, only put out four albums. I don't know if you count solo acts or are maybe planning a different list for them, but here's an idea for that: Jeff Buckley: Well regarded '90s musician who only managed a single studio album before he died, although a lot more was released posthumously. If you include Rap, NWA and Fugees each only had two studio albums, as did Biggie before his death, while 2Pac only released four albums before he died. Finally, a couple personal favorites that I might put on my own list, but aren't particularly notable: Mellow Candle: '60s Irish prog folk group that only released a single album that I recently discovered and fell in love with. I'm With Her: Incredible Bluegrass female supergroup with only one album released so far.
Thanks for the detailed comment! Those are all definitely worth the shot out, thanks.
🎉what a little bit of a wonderful day also what a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤😊
Thank you so much!
Definitely better songs by Metallica than Enter Sandman- including on the black album itself (e.g. Unforgiven, my friend of misery).
@@andreabknight agreed
For me there are so many great 80s songs but all we ever hear is Take on Me by A-Ha 🙄 A-ha has far better songs that that one (e.g. scoundrel days, sun always shines on tv, living daylights). Listen to Scoundrel Days and see how much better that song is.
Interesting! I’ll need to listen to it, take on me is the only song I know by them
jethro tull is a very good band with many albums that sound so different from each other. and madman across the water might be one of my favorite elton john albums. gentle giant put out an album that year called acquiring the taste and as the title suggest. it is very much an acquired taste but i love it.
I haven’t listened to much gentle giant so I’ll give them a shot
Great list. Here are my top 5: 1. Dark Side Of The Moon 2. Animals 3. Wish You Were Here 4. The Wall 5. The Division Bell I rarely listen to the pre-Dark Side albums even though I’m an old guy (The Wall was released when I was in college).
Nice list! I love older Pink Floyd, underrated
I've got to go with Wish You Were Here Dark Side of the Moon Meddle Animals Great lists though
@@CurlyHoward42 definitely agree with you there!!!
This guy is a tool. Steely Dan mentioned in same breath as Floyd is funny. The Wall number 12 is funny. Had to turn off. Reco ds with out Waters are not Floyd
@@jeffpestano1296 lol I had the wall at number 9, thank you very much haha and I take it you’re not a steely Dan fan? lol all of this is just my opinion, no need to take it so seriously
Getting angry about someone’s musical preferences is funny. Relax
I was asleep when I wrote that so I think I was relaxed. I like steely Dan. Just not in same conversation as PF. That’s just math, not opinion
early chicago is awesome and that first album is honestly one of their best to. and of course i love the rest that was shown here are amazing. 2 odd ball ones i love that came out that year is High Tide - Sea Shanties . its a fairly obscure band that put out a very heavy album for the 60's which is kinda crazy and if i had to describe it. its like the doors meets black sabbath. the other one i love believe it or not is The BeeGees - Odessa. the early stuff they did is completely different then the disco stuff that everyone knows them for and that is an album that really surprised me. best way i can sum it up is like the beatles and the kinks where its nothing heavy but is very much baroque pop which i love
@@BioPhoenixReviews thanks! I gotta go check these out
Pink Floyd is the band that got me to love music in general so they are a huge favorite for me and i love every album, of course some more then others but even the lesser favorites are still better then some bands best. The Nile song from More is so great that it felt like it came from decades later. The Wall is probably my 4th favorite album but i think out of those 26 songs, maybe 4 of them are skippable for me and thats pretty impressive for a double album. but i think most love it for its story and themes. but im happy to see some love for A Saucerful Of Secrets, atom heart mother and obscured by clouds and yes i love the song corporal clegg its so weird but catchy and gets stuck in my head. i think Wish You Were Here are is my number 1 favorite since it was the first album of theirs i ever own and i never get tired of any of the tracks i never skip anything on it
@@BioPhoenixReviews thank you, thanks for the comment! And yeah, dark side of the moon is probably overrated, but it’s still my favorite lol
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews maybe little but it's my 2nd favorite so I still love it to death lol
For me, The Wall is hands down their best. I can understand not liking some of the songs on there but when you have a double album with that many iconic songs, you’re bound to want to skip a handful of them when you put the album on. I love all the songs on there and I listen to the album straight through because if any album can be considered “an experience”, it’s The Wall. Seeing Roger Waters perform the album live is hands down the best concert experience I’ve ever had and I’ve been to over 100 concerts in my life. It’s just such an incredible production and it brings the whole story together visually. It makes those “skippable” songs so much more enjoyable. Ive actually always found Dark Side to be a bit overrated, at least in terms of the rest of their discography. I’ve also seen Roger perform this album in full live, and even though I loved it, it did not compare to The Wall. It’s undeniably an iconic album, though. If I had to rank my top 5 it would go: 5. Meddle 4. Dark Side 3. Wish you were here 2. Animals 1. The Wall
@@PaulyD412 fair enough, thanks for the comment! Solid top 5!
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews Have you watched The Wall film or Dark Side of the Rainbow?
@@PaulyD412 i haven't actually, i probably should
Seeing Green Day in August
awesome!!!
Also, I tried to start figuring out my top 10 albums while watching this....holy crap is that difficult lol. My #1 is easy, and maybe even the top few, but then it gets so hard to narrow down! I've always been a big albun listener so have a ton of beloved albums to choose from.
@@nikosbookreviews it’s difficult, but for me, it’s something I’ve been doing for years, updating every time I find a new all time favorite lol
I'll have to check out that Haken album, I'm not huge on Prog as you know, but I have liked a few of their songs! Rumors and Boston...yeah those are pretty perfect albums lol. I think I'm just going to be forced to listen to Steely Dan to see why you like them so much, very much one of those bands I know only the really well known song lol
@@nikosbookreviews they’re so good, but it might not be for you lol we’ll see. And yes!!! Definitely check out Steely Dan!
I definitely have not heard of Fanny, will have to check them out. Yeah my wife hates that song 🤣Paranoid is definitely THE Black Sabbath album for me. Well I'm not really familiar with that CCR album, so will have to check it out! I do need to listen to more Deep Purple, I like pretty much every song I know by them lol
@@nikosbookreviews lol I figured, but it’s so good haha and yeah, CCR was pumping them out lol and definitely check out Deep Purple pretty everything from the 70s is excellent
I had no idea all of those CCR songs were from the same year, that's crazy! They just got all their hits out right away hahaha
@@nikosbookreviews CCR hit it big right when the Beatles were on their way out lol
Been to far too many gigs and festivals over years to list them all but listed some of my favourite memories below: London Grammar @ Leeds fest in 2013 - last band of a great weekend in a side tent after most had headed back to campsite and was blown away. DMA's at westgarth social club in middlesbrough just after release of their debut ep, small venue & crowd but everyone knew they were gonna be bigger. Radiohead at Leeds in 09 - in rainbows (enough said) Kasabian @ bar m, ibiza 2006. Unbelievable seeing them in such a tiny venue Blossoms, The Lathums & The Magic Gang @ Newcastle - first gig post lockdown restrictions, joyous singalong all night. Watched Green Day @ this years Isle of Wight at weekend (just on tv unfortunately) & they were great i thought
@@johnyarrow6100 Awesome! I haven’t heard of a few of these bands, I’ll check em out
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews Ah yeah, sorry never thought quite a few of those bands wouldn't have made it over the atlantic and are only succesful in the UK. I haven't seen as many US or Canadian bands as I'd like as they often don't tour to near where I live but ones i have seen are Alvvays, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Green Day, Kings of Leon (before they sold out), Father John Misty, City & Color, Vampire Weekend, Beck, The Killers, Television, Matthew E White & Red Hot Chili Peppers
@@johnyarrow6100 i really want to see RHCP nut they're too expensive now lol
Thats just like your opinion man. Really tho this is just a bad take for some of these bands and shows your lack of music appreciation. This is like me thinking Dave Mathews sucks bc its for pussies when I was a teenager and then realizing the talent as an adult.
I mean maybe you just need some more KISS albums in your life /s
sorry not sorry
@@A-AronB ughhhhhhh.....hahaha
next video: bands with no good songs hahaha
Foreigner Jukebox Heroes album was a greatest hits? Yeah Disturbed there best was the first 3 or 4 Albums, minus Album 2.. Prayer... but the other albums are all great, the newest are not as good
Prayer had some good songs! But yeah Foreigner a lot of there great songs are just greatest hits/singles.
It's weird thinking of The Zombies having other songs 😂 I don't know about my favorite album, but Born To Be Wild and Mrs. Robinson are definitely up there for songs for me.
Yeah, those are great songs! It is sometimes weird to realize that bands with one hit wonders have more songs, sometimes even like 10 albums haha
Very good list! Will be fun to follow along with this series!
Thanks! It’ll be a long series, but a lot of fun!
What's with the 80's hate lmao, I love so much music from the 80's lol
I definitely prefer the 70s haha but I get it, you might actually help me out a bit, cuz there’s some metal music I’m discovering that’s gonna make the list lol
All my fav drummers are metal drummers. Kai Hahto is #1 with a background in Jazz so he improvises quite beautifully. Also, Spencer Prewett, Andrew Baird, both Mike’s from Dream Theater and Alex Rudinger to name a few. I love The Rev too and he actually helped inspire me to start drumming
I’ll have to look up a few of these drummers but yes both Mikes are great and The Rev was great as well!
Do you like Alice In Chains (they're my favorite band )
I do like them! One of the best grunge bands ever. Dirt is their best album IMO, what do you think?
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews I really like their self titled album, I really love dirt too tho
Great list! Especially like the inclusion of Steve Gadd in the top 3. Also, I agree with your ranking of Neil Peart despite what my friends say :) Here are my Top 3: 1. Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band) 2. Phil Collins (Genesis, Brand X, Solo) 3. Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief, King Crimson)
I love Gavin Harrison too, the stuff he’s done with Pineapple Thief is great! Carter Beaufort is great too! Phil Collins is great, but still think of him more as a singer lol
Could not see this list coming :) not the fact of top ten drummers, but who they are :)
Maybe you can give them a listen! Who would be in your list?
who would be in your top ten?
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks! 🎉
Thanks!
Not a strong year for music 😅
Disagree!!! lol
Hi Jake, I wonder if you know Steven Wilson and his album the Raven that refuses to sing, great video, keep it up.
Hey there! I’ve heard of Steven Wilson but haven’t listened to him yet, is that the best place to start you think?
@@J-ThundaMusicReviewshe tries something new every album and keeps his sound, so I thought you might be interested. The older stuff sounds like ambient, jazzy, prog rock, and the later stuff has a pop touch. I like more or less everything from him, but Raven that refuses to sing includes all these elements and is recognized by the community as his masterpiece. so yes. I would write more, but I hope that his music will convince you more than my description 😀.
@@adamholas I’ll definitely give it a listen! Love to try new music
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews enjoy it 😀
Im getting the feeling they just had some unpaid interns throwing darts at a wall for this list.
lol wouldn’t be surprised
Such a strange list. As you said, they didn’t seem to take legacy into considering with all these new albums up so high, which I think is really strange. If they’re giving some artists two albums, I would’ve put Achtung Baby by U2 here as well. I’m a massive fan of theirs (in very fascinated with the Edges style), and I think Achtung Baby is their best. Would’ve put Magical Mystery Tour instead of Revolver. Would’ve put Ride the Lightning instead of Master of Puppets. Nevermind is probably the more influential album, but I prefer In Utero. I would’ve also added Let’s Dance by David Bowie, but I love Ziggy Stardust. Would’ve put Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads instead of Remain in Light. I think Reggatta De Blanc by The Police should’ve been here. Also, I cannot believe that there was no ABBA. Either Arrival, Voulez-Vous or Super Trouper should’ve been here.
Yeah, too many new albums that probably won’t stand the rest of time
Oh Third Stage is epic... Also the Wall for me was better and with Zepplin any of the first 8 Albums will work :)
Yeah if I made like a top 100 rock albums list, most of zeppelin albums would make it haha
While it wouldn't be in my top 10 I agree every song on Boston is a banger! Dark Side of the Moon is so good, I have a more nostalgic connection to The Wall but I love Dark Side too. Have you ever done the Wizard of Oz sync up? I come from the Dookie era of Green Day but am not one of those that did not like American Idiot, I think it's a great album! I love when bands evolve. Have you heard the Broadway recording of the American Idiot musical? Really well done.
I’ve seen clips of wizard of oz sync up lol I love Dookie as well, 2nd fav by them. I’ve also heard broadway version. Pretty good.
I, unfortunately, am one of those that really only knows Smoke on the Water from Deep Purple. That is definitely a blind spot for me as is Steely Dan. BloodSugarSexMagic is the album where RHCP really found themselves. I got fairly into Zeppelin in the 90's when I started playing guitar, Jimmy Page was a must listen to if you were guitar player, but I never really stuck with them. Pink Floyd would probably be in my top 10, I've never really thought beyond top 5 which are: 5. The Posies 4. Queen 3. Epica 2. Metallica 1. The Beatles
Not sure if I’ve listened to the posies or epica, what would you recommend listening to?
@@J-ThundaMusicReviews The Posies had a couple of relatively known songs in the 90's but never really made it big, mostly a loyal following like myself. I would recommend the Frosting on the Beater album or Failure. Epica is, in my opinion, the best symphonic metal band out there. I think their best album might be Omega, but my favorite one is Design Your Universe. Maybe I'll post a couple songs in the Discord.
Nirvana - Nevermind is easy top 10 for me
Understandable, one of the best rock albums ever.
Revolver. Every song is great except Yellow Submarine, that's a skip for me 😅
WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE!! lol whenever I bring up the Beatles, Stacey sings this song lol, I will eventually rank the Beatles albums, I love Abbey Road and Revolver as well.
Deep Purple should be higher! Smoke on water got me into them, but your right so many more great songs, love them. Sweet child in time is my favorite... RHCP your dad had greatest hits... I feel so old now, who is Chad smith? the drummer is Will Ferrell!!!
Hahaha very funny Patrick lol
Here's a playlist of a few songs from each artist in my top 10! open.spotify.com/playlist/1CVX8TF6M0Y029xXEq0q3v?si=46df5f019ef54c1b
Great list! Love both Mikes from Dream Theatre and Green Day is awesome. Led Zeppelin rocks 🤘🏽
thank you!
Elton John was my first concert!
wow! i wish i could have seen him live!
Highway Star is a jam Father of All is way better than that new crap, sounds like AI Green Day 😂
hahaha COMPLETELY disagree but okay lol
Loved this! Lots of bands I’ve heard of but haven’t listened to a ton of. Would love if you made a playlist for the description of this video of your top songs to introduce the bands!
i could definitely make a playlist, maybe include like 5 songs from each artist? Thanks Ian!
