shankyboy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 #2, #3, #4 & #6 for sure. On the fence with #9. Although I can't stand to listen to this one anymore, it was a game-changer at the time. I was a DJ when it came out and I had to eventually stop playing Smells Like Teen Spirit because the whole club would erupt into a riot every time I played it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 It looks like most of the lists that I've seen over the years. And is just about as accurate. My guess is that if any 10 of us (or anyone) made up a list of our top 100 albums/songs/guitars/cars ect. They would all be different. But they would all be about the same too. 50-75% of the same albums, in different order, and a few the other nine peeps didn't like or had forgotten about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only way that Lauryn Hill's work tops any of the giants listed below hers. Except it doesn't, apparently: Quote Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums is a modern 21st-century ranking of the greatest records ever made, crafted by Apple Music’s team of experts alongside a select group of artists, songwriters, producers, and industry professionals. The list is an editorial statement, fully independent of any streaming numbers on Apple Music — a love letter to the records that have shaped the world music lovers live and listen in. So basically, it's was just a clickbait campaign like all of this shit is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I appreciate three things about this list. 1. It includes more genres than similar "best of" lists and crosses multiple generations 2. Those genres don't include country or western 3. There's no Dead 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
