Britney Spears next to Tommy is just hilarious to me.
but have you seen her dagger dance, it’s delightfully psychotic 😂
@@user-hr4lq8ue8j yeah I have. Poor woman.
Face Dances is better than Britney’s hits.
Disintegration in number 2 made me smile lol. I don't agree with it being that high, but I appreciate that album getting some huge praise.
definitely appreciate the Cure but that ranking is SCANDALOUS 😂
I was looking for another list to react to and then this popped up in my feed. I'll give you guys a shout out in my reaction, and watch this afterwards. There better be a Beatles album or two in the top 10! 😃
🤞
I agree the Beatles starting to fade from these lists is disturbing. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts club band at 25 now! Outrageous!!
@@ThomasR789Thank god Abbey Road is at 5, that album should be top 10 in album lists forever. Rubber Soul, Revolver, the White Album and Abbey Road deserve a place in every top 100 album list.
@@sitvisjes Not Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts club band?
No more Beatles, PLEASE!!! And that goes double for the hip hop crap!
Agree with Joe. This is the problem when you combine individual top 20 lists. People assume the big albums will make it, so they stuff their lists with obscure albums they want to make it, and the result is a completely random list.
Yeah. It may be a pain to ask people to compile longer lists, but you get a better result, because there's less you have to leave off.
A fairer way would be to make a longlist for each decade, cut it down to about 50 for each (giving you 350) and then getting everyone to rank all of them in preferred order, collating the results and cutting it down to to the top 200. Would take a lot of work, but I think it would be more representative.
When the pawn is her best by a country mile
What the hell? Did Elvis Costello get “cancelled” without me knowing it? He should have at least 3 albums on a list like this.
He’s not that well known by young US hipsters. - Joe
At least have This Years Model and Get Happy!
Agree 100%. This Year's Model, Trust or King of America, for sure... and maybe even Imperial Bedroom or Blood and Chocolate.
So true
Trust is the best. Should be in the top 50 def top 100.
Nomination for best lines on TLM: "People just think this record's like, cool to like because it doesn't have any good songs on it" - Jason
That's such a great music snob comment. As I'm writing this, I'm imagining Barry (Jack Black) in High Fidelity, saying that line. It would've worked well with Jack's manic and passionate, over the top delivery.
I know you guys are being intentional about spreading out your lists, but it would be great to see your own rankings of your top 200 albums. Also, as a long time follower still waiting for the Deep Purple, Elvis Costello, and Paul McCartney album rankings (with Joe's input!)
YES Joe Jason your OWN LIST!
No British folk rock, Randy Newman, Scott Walker, Elvis, Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, Dusty In Memphis, but instead Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears…
Sweetheart of the Rodeo made it.
@@nicholas372 You’re right, that’s a little bit of Gram right there. But his solo albums should be in here as well, at least Grievous Angel.
I think Dusty in Memphis is on the list.
Dusty is on it, TLM just bypassed it (the ones they skipped were above their heads on the video). No Kiki Dee, though - and she tops Dusty.
Even Robert Smith would surely think this was ludicrous.
The man ain’t lyin about that Sam Cooke… awe inspiring performance
no who’s next? interesting.
What I like about this list (comparatively speaking) is that Country and Jazz get some noticeable representation at the expense of Hip Hop. More variety of genres is always refreshing. As you mentioned, there were some artists over-represented and I saw some weak odd-ball choices, including those Motown albums that contain a few hits and lots of filler. For classic Motown, it's got to be compilations as the label was singles driven during their early peak. I didn't see a lot of Folk or World Music (Fela, Khan, Adé) so it still seems artificially skewed towards pop. The Top 20 looked pretty random but at least that provided some fun observations on your part. I'll echo an earlier comment and suggest Tastes Like Music attempt a list of this magnitude.
Enjoyable episode.
I like The Cure a lot but number two made me laugh 😄
As a Brazilian and die-hard fan of Clube da Esquina, I have to say that it's a very "Brazilian" record (sort of like Acabou Chorare, which I personally think is peak "Brazilian"). Whenever I show it to my foreign friends, they usually react with a "OMG this is the most beautiful record I've ever heard" or "meh, it's alright I guess" (similar to your guys' reactions).
I'm Brazilian too and love CdE but to see it so high in this list is weird. Honestly they shouldn't mix different cultures in these lists because it makes no sense. If they really wanted then make a top 30, top 50 Brazilian albums, then putting CdE at 12 or higher is fine.
@@Chadner I agree. I didn't even know Clube da Esquina was this revered by non--Brazilian critics. It would make sense for it to be in the top 5 of an All-Time Brazilian Records list, but Top 10 All-Time period? Idk. But then again, these are only opinions.
This list is SO much better than Apples. I am slightly surprised (although maybe it's only me) that they find no room for either R.E.M or Crowded House....
They had R.E.M. on here, they just skipped quite a few in the discussion. If you looked at the top of the screen, they showed the album covers and rankings of the ones they skipped over (I didn't notice until halfway through the video either). 'Murmur' was 124 and 'Automatic for the People' was 53.
@futureidol83 ah cool! That's good and I had completely missed that!
for me is worst because is very unrealistic, nobody else except the cure fans think that desintegration could be in a top 10 best album ever
@@hectorkish6598 the apple list had TOO much modern music and far too many rap albums
Joe has a really hard time with the words "high" and "low" for these lists such that the viewer has no idea where he's saying an album should be placed.
You can figure it out
@@TastesLikeMusic It's just too bad Joe can't.
None of my favorites are up there.
If I had to make a list, mine would consist of underdogs:
1. Willis Alan Ramsey -Willis Alan Ramsey
2. Eric Carmen - Boats Against the Current
3. Kim Carnes -Voyeur
4. Plainsong - In Search of Amelia Earhart
5. Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
6. John Martyn - Solid Air
7. Kiki Dee & Carmelo Luggeri - Where Rivers Meet
8. David Gray - Mutineers
9. Radiohead - Kid A
10. Laura Nyro - Eli & the 13th Confession
11. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
12. Elliott Smith - Figure 8
13. Tori Amos - Boys for Pele
14. Damien Rice - "O"
15. Eurythmics - Be Yourself Tonight
16. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
17. Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights
18. Kris Kelly - Runways
19. Bill Withers - Just As I Am
20. Dream Academy - Dream Academy
21. Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright
22. Judy Collins - True Stories & Other Dreams
23. Bee Gees - Odessa
24. Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes
25. Jellyfish - Bellybutton
These lists are always fun to argue about, but I can't take them too seriously. Glad to see Mahmoud Ahmed on the list, though. To this day the best concert I've ever seen was Ahmed, Alemayehu Eshete and Getatchew Mekurya, backed by The Ex, at Damrosch Park in NYC. Also happy to see a bunch of Spiritual Jazz mentioned; Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders get regular spins here.
Odd, patchworky list - better than Apple - and I've gotta admit seeing The Cure at #2 warms my heart. Disrespect to the Beatles, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd unwarranted though.
This list is a large improvement from Apple's. There's more variety and more welcoming of older albums. The top 10 was a little weird but they picked a much better album for the number 1 spot.
They had 200 more spots and they didn’t correct anything that Apple’s messed up. I think this is much worse. - Joe
@TastesLikeMusic yeah it's far from a perfect list (as much lists are from the last 4 years). There seemed for be more consideration for rocks roots here and other genres, whereas Apple's list looked like some millennial or zoomer's Playlist. Great video and breakdown as usual!!!
I would love to hear your personal top 300 lists!
Nebraska is not overrated
I think its his best honestly.
Great video as always, but that was a rough list.
Related hey there, ODing on Cake, SC FN MG can’t get enough thank you. This is sophisticated Pop, great ripping horns ,they go from Comanche to Up Close to Jolene so very good
“People just think this album’s cool to like because it doesn’t have any good songs on it” 💯
No Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Jelly Fish Spilt Milk, Cars first album, Supergrass first album, breakfest in America, Todd Rundgren Something Anything...
Super refreshing list. Even picks like Disintegration being #2 is wild but I respect it
Also imho ‘Talking Book’ & ‘Music Of My Mind’ are both superior to ‘Songs In The Key Of Life’ as great as it is
Weird to see how these lists change over time. Hounds of Love was nowhere near the top of any of these lists even 10 years ago. Is that because of Stranger Things?
Probably but I'm glad it's there: Kate Bush is a stone cold genius (even though the US never 'got her' for some reason). Her debut album should have been on there as well.
One of these lists finally admitted that country music is a valid art form!
No In Utero? The Bends? Achtung Baby? Keep It Like a Secret? Oh well, life goes on....
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree with both of you that many of choices are great, but the ranking doesn't quite add up. By the way, the first list of this kind I ever saw was for Rolling Stone magazine's 20th anniversary, where they ranked the top 100 albums from 1967 to 1987. It'd be interesting to see if you guys want to dive into that one. I was a teenager at the time and found it quite influential.
‘I Want You’ is my favorite Marvin record…his work with Leon Ware is sublime
With multiple placements by such artists as Bjork and Fiona Apple appearing on the list .. where is Tori Amos at????
Surely, any of her first four albums alone would deserve proper recognition?!
Yeah that was a massive oversight, no? - Joe
I would probably have quite a few of the albums that were skipped through in my top 100. Always nice to see BOC make an appearance.
LIVE THROUGH THIS ahead of NEVERMIND?
The Replacements' "Tim" made it to 41 - maybe they heard the good remix? And their 'Let it Be" landed at 76. This was better than I expected for these two great records, and I'll stop while I'm ahead. There is little use trying to figure out most of the rest.
I know you have some time constraints; but there were so many notable albums that you didn't comment on.
I feel like this list is more audacious compared to a lot of the other lists.
Any "greatest" list will suffer from personal preferences, but I agree with Jason's opinion. There's no need to include an album that wouldn't even make your top 8 list.
I would go on to say that if you plan to list more than about 3 to 5 albums from a single artist on your "greatest albums" list, then you're probably compling the wrong list. If you're going to wave your favorite artist's flag that hard, then you should just limit your list to a specific genre, or time period, or simply the best albums by that artist.
Completely
METERS REJUVENATION IS SUCH A RIPPER! So cool they put it on the list. Maybe my personal favorite funk record
Calling Carrie & Lowell “dreadfully boring” is wild. It’s an album written for his mother who passed away. It’s not like it’s meant to be exciting.
i know its one of the few albums i listened to where i love every song on the first listen
But just because it’s written about a family member’s passing doesn’t make it a great album.
@@curly_wyn i didn't even know the context of the album and i was still blown away by how beautiful it is
@@curly_wyn that’s not what I suggested
Whatever its still one of best albums this century
I think this list's biggest flaw is the placements of the albums. But at least they have solid representation of country, funk, electronic, and non-english music. In my opinion the variety on this list makes it far better than Apple's
They had 200 more albums. Of course there’s more inclusion. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic Even just looking at the top 100, Paste has more variety of genres (and languages) than Apple
This is so much better than Apple, or even the more recent Rolling Stone lists. It's still not great, but better.
Seeing 'Hissing of Summer Lawns' at 52 is cool. One of my favorite albums. I hope we see the Ramones deep dive someday. Override the polls Jason!
Joni Michell’s critical importance can’t be understated
Well , I'm still trying to process the fact that they think System of a Down's Toxicity is better than Rubber Soul , and Led Zeppelin IV .
What universe am I in ?
And , as Joe said , apparently Prog Rock doesn't exist , at least in Paste's universe .
I tell you who else doesn't exist in their universe :
Frank Zappa , Santana , Elvis Costello , Peter Gabriel , Deep Purple , The Doors , Dire Straits , XTC , Cream , Jethro Tull , 10 CC , Gladys Knight & the Pips , The Four Tops , The Temptations , Little Feat , Roxy Music , Procol Harum , Elvis Presley , Frank Sinatra , and on and on .
Anyway , it's always entertaining listening to you dissect these lists .
Cheers !!!!
These "Greatest Albums of All Time" lists are way too broad to properly evaluate albums and be taken seriously. It would make more sense to rank the "Top 100 Rock Albums from the 70s" or "Top 100 Hip Hop/Rap albums from the 90s", which is what you try to do on this channel. It's too difficult to compare albums from different genres and time periods. I think it would be more interesting for famous artists to list their favorite 100 albums of all time than these media publications.
I started out liking this list, but it became apparent it's just subjective chaos to a fault.
The Meters ‘Rejuvination’ is great, maybe their best, and Aquemini is my favorite ‘OutKast’
All three (Paste, Apple, Rolling Stone) lists are really poor, and I suspect are partially made that poor intentionally just to stir up conversation and draw attention to the publication. I'm waiting for the Tastes Like Music top 500 albums for the definitive list!
My personal albums list will be anything but definitive for people. -Jason
This was much better than apple apple was over half rap were not influence only people that were growing up in the 90s would get this
Better than Apple but there’s 200 more albums to play with! Much better than Apple. Good to see Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. Someone is clearly a Twin Peaks fan too. I now realise that you guys would hate my Top 100!
I love Wilco and always laugh with Joe's reactions
Many people are Wilco pilled. - Joe
The number 3 and number 2 slots are based.
You would think that. - Joe
The Paste list is way better than Apple
nah, is even worst
Very cool to see Camaron's La Leyenda Del Tiempo. Amazing record...I requested the song that gives name yo the album for one of the monthly Patreon's playlist
Great to see Disintegration by The Cure as high as 2. Disappointed to see the likes of OK Computer and Dark Side of the Moon as low as they were
So many great albums overlooked, but I guess they wanted some variety with genres and eras
Great video. Great work once again guys. Cheers!
Paste followed up a horrible Top 100 by Apple with an also awful Top 300 of their own.
What joy.
Agree with Bjork's Post > Homogenic, finally not alone!
I wouldn't put The White Album ahead of Rubber Soul. Why does Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" never get on these lists? OR did I miss it? Crazy innovative and influential record.
They’d never put something non-bebop on a list like this. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic I wouldn't classify the Alice/John Coltranes, Sanders, Coleman or Mingus as bebop. The first 3 fall more into the realm of Spiritual Jazz.
Okay non-bebop or non-spiritual. - Joe
Probably because his varied time signature exploration can be blamed for that dreaded Prog.
When are you guys going to review Laura Nyro's catalogue?
Sometime
Everybody is different. For example, On The Beach is my fav Young album. I think this list is better than the Apple one (not difficult) in terms of the content. However, the order appears ridiculous to me - like they (ironically) just hit shuffle when publishing this list. Stuart.
On the Beach rules! You’re insane.
I couldn't agree more! 'On The Beach' is an incredible album. Arguments over whether or not it's better than 'After The Gold Rush' are immaterial, when you suggest that 'On The Beach' has "no good songs" 🤯 It's not that the album is suddenly back in vogue, it's more that it not being widely available until it was reissued on CD in 2003 meant that people had forgotten just what a superb album it is and it's finally getting its long overdue reappraisal. I like the TLM guys, but I find it hard to get my head around Jason slating 'On The Beach', yet he thinks that Graham Nash (very good, but easily the least talented songwriter of the four) produced the best CSNY solo album, while he also like the interminably dull Counting Crows 😬
It’s good but basically his worst 70s album. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic His 70s output so incredibly strong and that long run of great albums almost unprecedented, especially when you include his first two albums from the 60s. With that in mind, I don't have a big issue with you saying On The Beach is his worst 70s album. However, I clearly don't hear American Stars 'n Bars (4 stars) as good as On The Beach (5 stars).
On The Beach probably speaks to me that much because some of the tracks (in particular the entire side 2) are among his saddest and at the same time most beautiful songs. That's also the reason why Tonight's The Night is my favorite Neil album, because it's even sadder. And yes, After The Goldrush is at number 3, but only slightly ahead of the next one.
@@TastesLikeMusic Dear God, no! I sometimes find it hard to decide which one of 'On The Beach', 'After The Gold Rush', 'Zuma', 'Rust Never Sleeps', 'Harvest', 'Tonight's The Night' or 'Times Fades Away' is his best 70s album, but O.T.B. is easily better than 'Comes A Time' and 'American Stars and Bars' (both of which are very good - a clear sign of just how incredible his late 60s/early 70s run was).
There’s nothing On the Beach that is close to like a Hurricane or Will to Live or Bite the Bullet or Old Country Waltz. But then again I prefer southern rock and country rock to the mopey stuff. - Joe
Raw Power definitely deserves to be in the top 100
I agree, don't know what their issue with Iggy Pop and The Stooges is, but 'Raw Power' is a classic and extremely important and influential album that inspired many punk, metal and rock bands. It's raw, guttural and in your face, but also kind of sexy and beautiful. It's in my personal top 30.
Better than apple's, but I didn't hate their list that much to begin with so I'm fine with both
Edit: Joe, you really need to give The life of Pablo another spin, it's a great album and my personal 2nd favorite Kanye album, not quite the masterpiece that College dropout is, but it's fantastic and underrated IMO.
I listened to it a few months ago. I think it’s prettt mediocre and an obvious “well the glory days are past” kind of album. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic I guess that we just look for different things in our Kanye
Another Green World is a great record
I disagree, I cannot stand it because of its arrangement. It's half proper songs and half ambient/art instrumentals scattered in there. I don't like that setup, give me one or the other. I prefer his first 2 as proper music albums and my favorite ambient album of his is Music for Airports, which is my remedy on certain days.
Hey, it’s a bunch of bleeps and bloops with some incendiary guitar work here and there…and surprisingly I loved it! I probably love it a little less now, but still. Here Come the Warm Jets is better tho.
Joe & #236! A small victory.
I couldn’t believe my ears. 😮😊
A small (dark) victory that Joe liked or didn't hate a couple of songs. I like New Order better than Joy Division but I guess JD's Love will Tear us Apart is my favorite followed by Transmission. Have more songs I like by New Order. 😵💫🥴🙄 Hope you are doing well.
@@oppothumbs1 I can’t choose between JD and New Order! They both scratch a slightly different musical itch, and one just evolved into the other. “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and “Transmission” are fine fave song choices! New Order’s larger discography
makes choosing favorites more difficult.
I am well, thank you. Hope you have a fab weekend!
@@michelewiese48 OK, good your well. 😊
Slightly better than Apple but still some massive baffling choices and placements
excellent list overall. hissing is actually my favorite joni album.
I liked this list just for the sheer audacity of it. Also seemed like they didn’t just pick albums to make a political point but picked them because they actually enjoyed the music.
That being said it was still a terrible list lol
1. Definitely Maybe is an easy 5 star album and definitely better than What's the Story (good album but 4 stars imo). Oasis was really mind blowing when they first came out. Best best debut album after Appetite of Destruction of course.
2. Grace, Appetite, Van Halen I, Queen is Dead, Bridge Over Troubled Water and OK Computer are lock top 100 picks. The disrespect is nuts.
3. They got Siamese Dream right, In Rainbows sucks, Ray Charles should be a bit higher and I love that Sam Cooke album..fantastic.
4. Blonde on Blonde at #74 should be a crime.
5. Pet Sounds should be #1. It is the greatest album of all time and also my favorite.
6. This list sucks but it's not quite as bad as Apple
Disintegration the best album ever, bitches :P
I think the only reason this list seems better than the Apple list is because Paste had another 200 albums to play with.
Very fun to see something from The Miracles/Smokey Robinson but is that the best choice? The best album Smokey Robinson has delivered? Tell me your thoughts!
Going to a GOGO made my top 5 in 65 so I’m all for that being on the list. - Joe
I'm surprised y'all aren't familiar with Dreaming My Dreams by Waylon. Interested to hear your thoughts about some of his other albums, Jason. Any favorites?
So far Ladies Love Outlaws is my favorite. -Jason
@@TastesLikeMusic That one is quite good. I know he didn't like it much, but it has some great tracks.
pleased to see Burial and Reign in Blood in there, weird top 10.
I know you can't reveal here when Prince week will drop but can you say if it's soonish?! Asking for a friend!!😂❤
Within the next 2 months
Depends what ish means. Let’s say by the end of summer
Yay!!! Thank you!!! You guys are great!! @@TastesLikeMusic
Amazing Grace is a kind of a live album. She wanted to do a gospel album, but wanted to get the feeling of a church with a gospel choir. So they decided to record it live in a church over a few days to give it that feel. But it was not recorded to be a concert album.
There is a critically acclaimed documentary about it produced a few years back which may be why it's inclusion on this Paste list.
All in all it is an absolute wonderful passionate album.... But, I still would not consider it one of the best 300 albums of all time, and as you pointed out not even her best of 1972
3 PJ Harvey albums is just fine by me.
It might be fine with you but it’s stupid to think that there are 3 PJ Harvey albums better than say… Close to the Edge or Who’s Next or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Dirt or Angel Dust or Parklife or I Get Wet. - Joe
I love PJ but I personally think only 1 album per artist should be allowed. The best of the best.
I remember I would often buy Mojo or Uncut but Paste was one I would read while sitting in Borders & enjoying a coffee ☕️. The articles weren't compelling & often didn't include interviews. Kinda of a dull magazine & really favored bands that were supposed to be good but in reality were mediocre !
I agree with Joe, the Apple list at least you knew the pattern and what their formula was. This seems like some random person's list of albums they like. It doesn't seem like selection by a committee or some type of formula. Albums are all over the place here and some are just very poorly misplaced. I personally don't care for these lists but thought I'd weigh in anyway.
I still prefer my old Rolling Stones from 2003. Has there been a better one since?
Joe would like "Another Green world" by Eno.. amazing guitar solos
I’m intrigued. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic Fripp shreds!!
The Cure's Disintegration should be higher, the PJ Harveys should all be in the top 30 and the Deerhunter is about 70 spots too low. Other than that, not a bad list.
You lost me at “the”. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusiclmaooo 😂
I hadn't even heard of Fishmans until you talked about the Rate Your Music top albums. I really like Long Season, but it is, on its best day, with the wind at its back, a dark horse candidate for my top 300. Number 7? Get f'd.
33:48 i really wished if you guys didn't Skip and talk about the 84. Album because this album getting so much famous the last years and i never understood the hype
What is it?
Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Inside by SOPHIE
@@andydavis9780 Never heard of it, or SOPHIE.
@@robgronotte1 it's getting famous in the last two years bc the singer passed away but it's still not good at all and super overrated
It's only in the list because the guy was a trans and now he's not longer living.
that was just for you Daddy 😂
100-200 was better than the top 100
Aretha's Amazing Grace is a live gospel album. It is a stunning album. Surprised you both dismissed it so easily. You don't need to be a gospel aficionado to love it. The shows were filmed, but not released for decades due to a syncing issue that they were recently able to fix, it is worth watching.
It is amazing how artists fall in and out of fashion. Everyone has their artist they can't believe gets snubbed. For me it is Elvis Costello. For a lot of his career he was the critics darling, but somehow he has fallen out of favor and I am not completely sure why. Too much of a catalogue making him seemingly unapproachable? Not having that singular album that can be added to a list with no discussion. Or maybe he hasn't gone dormant for long enough for people to miss him? He will be missed and hopefully appreciated when he is sadly gone.
I get the hate for putting it above after the gold rush but on the beach still has a lot to offer . Side 2 is memorizing starting from the title track which is a top ten Neil young song. It’s all just so haunting. A top 5 Neil album 🫡
Disagree. Neither mesmerizing nor haunting. Believe I ranked it as my 12th favorite Neil album. 39th all-time is the most laughable thing on their entire list. -Jason
@@TastesLikeMusicthe most laughable thing was not putting a Wizard / a True Star over something like Britney Spears 😢
@@Classy-Rick Ok, true.
Many of the placements on this list are totally wack but I do agree that I like the variety and the representation of some different things even if they aren't necessarily things I would pick. It's still a mess but I am going with Paste as the best even if I can't get over the fact that they put that Britney Spears album in there. I remember thinking that wasn't even a good album and obvious hits + filler collection when it came out, there's no way 25 years later that it sounds like anything but that. There does seem to be a lot of over-correction with this list as far as putting past agreed upon classics fairly low on the list. That aspect is annoyingly transparent. Even with my complaints this list is still my favourite of the three. 😂
Even though I have listened to about 280 of these 300 - there are some big misses on this list, but FAR superior than that Apple crap.
I completely agree with this being dumb
It seems like they just picked 300 random albums and threw in some classics
There is no way this list is worse than Apple's list. Any list that has Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, and multiple Taylor Swift albums in the top 100 greatest albums of all time is worse.
Aquemini is underrated, listen To it again, incredible
2.5 allllll day
@@TastesLikeMusic wow. on a big system this album is sonically top 5 hip op albums ive heard. Nas Illmatic number 1,
Dirty Computer is my fave Monaé album
Whattttt
Better than Apple's but still embarrassing. Cosmo's Factory? Damn the Torpedoes? Number of the Beast? Today? Madman Across the Water? I could go on. They included live albums so where's Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall or Allman Bros at Filmore East?. Why isn't Classical music represented?
My favourite Stevie record and my no. 1 album of all time - and I still think this list is whack 😂
I used to look up to these magazine lists when I was younger- now I see right through them. Especially how much opinions change based on what suddenly becomes 'popular'. Americans didn't care at all for Kate Bush for years- until Stranger Things has made her insanely popular! I barely saw her name on these types of lists 10 or 15 years ago.
My advice to anyone younger than me (late 30s 😄) who looks up to these kinds of lists, use them as an introduction or stepping stone to listening to more stuff out there. These lists are intended to pee off as many people as they can!
A bad joke. If only they'd been so wise as to call it 300 GREAT albums instead of THE 300 GREATEST...
