[@MikeGuitarPlayer07]

You're making me want to do this now! I look forward to seeing all these videos!

[@scottylovesthings]

I watched the first two videos, but didn’t see this vide. Glad I caught it before I got too far into your list. I love rules!

[@videosky_H.264]

Digging the new setup with this angle, dude. Pretty hyped for this list, too. Almost makes me want to make a list of my own.

[@TooManyRecords]

Thanks man!! And... ALMOST? What would Shia do?

[@scottylovesthings]

It’s amazing. I’ve been doing my top 20 favorite albums of each year since 1990, and I basically have the exact same rules you do. I use the desert island mentality. I don’t allow EPs or greatest hits or compilations. And I almost never allow soundtracks, as I feel they are their own category, although I’ve broken that rule once or twice (Singles soundtrack, Inception score) due to the impact they had on me that given year. I love this.

[@Jurm.69]

You’re a brave man! I have a podcast where I count down my fifty favourite horror films and it was an absolute trial to write! Good luck!

[@philiplee3398]

Looking forward to the videos! I'm all about adding more killer (no filler) to my collection, so this is definitely gonna help me get some new ideas.

[@TooManyRecords]

It absolutely will brother.

[@bksherm]

Love lists and looking forward to yours even though I'd be surprised in more than 5 of yours were on mine. But who cares I'm gonna enjoy it anyway.

[@atmospherecollectibles-rec7981]

Super cool challenge! I enjoy watching your videos and am working on building my own youtube channel as well. I own a small record store in Southern Indiana Keep up the great content

[@olfart62]

Can't wait to see this Matt

[@TooManyRecords]

Can't wait for you to see it!

[@Sonixdeathmonkey]

So looking forward to it! Am expecting PJ to be in it hehehe

[@jtdnweqnichoei]

First is definitely a pearl jam album, and a Kanye album top 10

[@neros12346]

You were close. Kanye had 2 top 10s but the National had the #1 spot.

[@cameronhill7769]

NOW that's what I call music 64, and the world of Val Doonican must be in there.

[@carravagio16]

hey matt, maybe one video you could make is of albums that haven't aged well for you, or ones you initially loved but dont really anymore...looking forward to your list, wonder if any "Hammock" will make the top 100

[@TooManyRecords]

I actually have a video planned for that, but I only have 5 picks so far

[@corc1992]

[@adamwolpert4235]

All gems!

[@bgl1335]

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot will def be on the list

[@greghuff2823]

I say Vintage Trouble - The Bomb Shelter Sessions and John Popper Zygote albums are on there

[@inthegrooves]

Cool idea. Temple of the Dog

[@offthebeatentracks4515]

You're a braver man that I.

[@Ryan-qk8fr]

You should showcase your full 50s-80s vinyl albums plz!

[@TooManyRecords]

I plan to do more of those videos for sure. Perhaps between entries on this list!

[@davidellis5141]

3 picks 1983 REM , Murmur. 1997 Death In Vegas , Dead Elvis & 2001 Gorillaz S/T . Grace by Jeff Buckley a close 4th !

[@cwebb128]

I’m curious to see how high First Impressions of Earth lands if it does make the list

[@bravoflysociety]

Madvilliany top 5!

[@starsonsunday]

Can't wait for #69!

[@Dylan_Campbell]

Excited to see where Dylander Clambull's Admiral Muddypaws will end up...

[@TooManyRecords]

That or the unreleased Sidewalk Ecology LP #JusticeForCatacombs

[@adamkinowski2354]

Doubt it’s on your list, but would Hell Freezes Over qualify for you list since it has both studio and live performances on it?

[@TooManyRecords]

If an album is an official studio album but has a few live cuts on it, it might qualify. HFO is officially a "live album" though so it wouldn't.

[@adamkinowski2354]

Remember Matt....Everything can change in a New York minute

[@70Joyful]

Is there such a thing as "Too Many Records"?!?! I've got over 2000 and am always adding to my collection.

[@zombiedrummer4life]

Do people ever message you on discogs about wanting to buy something from your collection?

[@TooManyRecords]

My discogs isn't even close to accurate sadly. A project for 2020.

[@nicholasbeltran2795]

Vaudville Villain is on there

[@FortVine]

Can’t wait to hear what your favorite albums are and then discover some new music for our road trips. 🤘🤘

[@TooManyRecords]

The best music for a road trip is Fort Vine, of course.

[@maryannappiagyei2643]

Favorite album best common be and jay z blueprint Kanye West late registration

[@patrickhilton9253]

Wow no live albums would be tough. One of my all time favorite albums is a live album.

[@TooManyRecords]

that's for another list ;)

[@b3dh3d95]

I am pretty sure tycho will be on it

[@gatof4545]

Which pearl jam will be and 99 more 😁

[@tomboyd8]

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories 🤔

[@drewmihans5266]

Calling it now - Alligator will be #1 Also, curious to see if you'll have Brand New included, and if so, where they land. And of course, I expect an appearance from Mumford & Sons and Imagine Dragons. No list is complete without those two quintessential bands.

[@TooManyRecords]

the real question is how do you pick an Imagine Dragons album when they're all so good thankfully they're all sonically diverse so i was able to include all of them

[@bgl1335]

Too Many Records lol

[@pablito_h]

Mista Thug Isolation top 1 album lessgo

[@t3dewys]

Sufjan on the list makes it irrelevant. Jk. Looking forward to it!!

[@leandrosvarvarousis3383]

Abbey road has to make the list!!

[@andrewdaly5265]

Are you going to being back the “A” side at the start of the month, and the “B” side at the end of the month? I really loved that. 😃

[@TooManyRecords]

Yeah, at some point... my livestreams were kinda taking place of that, trying to figure out how and when to reintegrate.

[@coreycschmidt]

My guess is Siberia by Lights.

[@bittyditty198]

Kidz bop Vol 1 - 99 and then backstreet boys #1

[@stealthyhipo4813]

Im guessing ‘808s and Heartbreak’ will be #1 or at least in the top 10

[@Lallin92]

There better be a Beatles record on that top 100

[@grapefruitplussoda]

The Lumineers or Mumford and Sons or Garth Brooks

[@brianpiotrowski7221]

Beatles

[@connergarrett2723]

Matt’s top ten: 1- Kanye 2- Kanye 3- Kanye 4- Kanye 5- Kanye 6- Kanye 7- Kanye 8- Kanye 9- Kanye 10- Kanye

[@TooManyRecords]

Someone didn't watch the video ;)

[@kristoffer5771]

Soundgarden

[@brianpiotrowski7221]

I like tommy roe

[@joelbrandenburg6746]

If Kids Bop isn't on the list then the list is a fraud!

[@TooManyRecords]

Kidz*

[@davedavis9693]

D.S.O.T.M. MFSL is about the best

[@timbrownrigg5217]

Based on his other videos, I'm probably not going to know 90% of this list lol.

[@TooManyRecords]

You're going to be very surprised, actually.

[@Socrateet]

No live albums? Rip 98.12.28

[@adamkinowski2354]

The National 😒

[@TooManyRecords]

no need for that face

[@rockonblackops777]

Let me guess pearl Jam all albums...haha before I watched.

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Too hard to guess. mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@TooManyRecords]

I dunno, if you watch even a handful of my videos there should be some fairly obvious artists if not albums ;)

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Too Many Records You have talked about Pearl Jam and Kanye West. But still you never know.

[@jpnutz17]

808s & Heartbreak for sure.

[@jessechristensen6028]

I bet Kanye 808 's and heart breaks will be there. Here is my top twenty albums of the decade 1. the killers- Battle Born 2. Daft Punk- Random access memories 3. Saint Pepsi- Hit Vibes 4. Justin Timberlake- 20/20 experience 5. Brandon Flowers- The Desired Effect 6. Imagine Dragons- night visions 7. Tuxedo- tuxedo 8. Tom Misch- Geography 9. Tim McGraw- two lanes of freedom/ Josh Turner- Deep South 10. Michael Jackson- Xscape 11. Macross 82-99 - A Million miles away 12. Jesse McCartney - Technicolor 13. Tuxedo- tuxedo II 14. Pharrell Williams- Girl 15. Scotty McCreery - see you tonight 16. Sego- once was lost now just hanging around 17. Maximum love- under the shadow 18. Turntboi95- forever 19. Earth wind and fire- now then and forever 20. Pad Chennington - contrast

[@TooManyRecords]

you typo'd on #6 it says "imagine dragons" i think you mean to write any other band name there

[@bgl1335]

Too Many Records lol

[@bgl1335]

I love battle born and desired effect but they aren’t sonically different enough to qualify for the list

[@jessechristensen6028]

I will agree that all their other work after this is complete and utter trash. But the songs on the first half of this album with the exception of radioactive(which every other song sounds like it after this album) I enjoy. I will say this that especially its time is my favorite song by the band. During my senior year of high school and round the time this came out I hated all music after the 1980's and this song started to brake that for me. I will emphasize the lyrics at that moment in time were me to a T! So yes this are crap after this but have significance to me at least with this one.

[@jessechristensen6028]

That's fine I was just putting my top list which started as top ten but grew into twenty. Also this is just for this decade as I've said before.

[@brettduke]

Kanye West

[@adamkinowski2354]

Brett Duke will be interesting to see which early Kanye he leaves off... Graduation or Late Registration since they are similar styles

[@brettduke]

Hopefully “The College Dropout” that album was groundbreaking for its time.

[@brettduke]

Also I think he will leave off “Late Registration” but the highest ranked Kanye album should be “The College Dropout”.

[@neros12346]

Obviously ITAOTS

[@keitha.9922]

You wasted five minutes of my time waiting for you to mention the albums. Turns out the whole five minutes is a whole nowhere bound, endless nonsense about your guidelines to making up the top 100.

[@TooManyRecords]

In the words of Justin Timberlake - "cry me a river"!
