The whole idea of creating a Top 100 Albums of all time list is an impossible feat bc you'll always forget something in some form.

Because it’s better and something being older doesn’t inherently make it better. Rumors is an undeniable and influential album but in a world and time where things are blurry/mixed genre wise Blonde is the greatest representation of that. Listening to it top to bottom for the first time was a holy experience. It might feel like it’s too new to be up there but in 15 years I’m sure it would climb the rank even a little higher so Apple is smart to put it up there.

LEMONADE really is one of the best bodies of work of all time. a cohesive journey through the stages of grief weaved together with stellar vocals, insane production and poignant lyrics. it topped several best album lists in 2016, and best album of the decade lists in 2019, deservedly so. and the FILM! the poetry interspersed with each track to further push the narrative of generational trauma, infidelity, violence, grief and healing 😮‍💨 it’s heartbreaking. the acting, the sets, special effects, choreography, the looks, the cinematography… all stunningly breathtaking. it was unheard of at the time for an artist of that magnitude to STILL be pushing boundaries in such a way. fast forward to 2024 and she’s still doing the same with the reclamation trilogy. i’m grateful to live in a time where i can witness and fully appreciate the art.

the comments are so angry as if this isn’t just a ranking by a SMALL GROUP of people! it’s just their opinions, it’s okay lmao. nothing bad is gonna happen to your fave albums. they’re not gonna be deleted from streaming platforms if they’re not on the list. your personal memories attached to them aren’t gonna disappear. just like nothing good is gonna happen to these albums for being on the list. they’re not gonna suddenly sell 100K copies this week. apple just did this for engagement lmao

[@melsyoutube]

there’s nothing paradoxical, sarcastic or ironic about my comment. i meant what i said. this is simply a ranking by a select few people, that has no impact upon other groups of people’s opinions on these albums, nor does it impact the actual albums themselves. @user-yz1id7wc7q

[@Chris-mr5we]

How is Sufjan Stevens not on the list?

[@hulasista1918]

Are these lists based on who listened? Because I've never listened to Frank Ocean so he wouldn't have been in my top 1000. All the other albums in the top 10 I've listened to and can dig it. (Lauren would actually be top 30-50 for my list)

[@Liam-hs4gj]

Blonde at the #5 album of all time, in any category, is literally a disgrace to any credibility these “experts” have. This is coming from someone who listened to the album non-stop through my entire high-school years and who was a massive Ocean fan. The entire list is so absurd though. It’s created to rile people up just like The Rolling Stones list.

Any list of Top 100 Albums that doesn’t have Sgt. Peppers is difficult to gasp in any sense. Such a shame.

Miss L wrote the most monumental piece of work. I still listen to it to this day.

[@roychang723]

Frank Ocean in Top 5...???🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@keithqueener2397]

Yeah! For a generation one of the most prolific and experimental R&B artists. Think it’s a good pick for a modern representation in a all time list

[@josephflynn3886]

@@keithqueener2397 does the word prolific not mean that they are constantly releasing music? If so then Frank Ocean is about as much the opposite of prolific I can think of

[@CinematicShadow]

Impactful yes, prolific no.

No TPAB on here makes this list egregious. The album was studied in colleges for Christ Sake. Objectively bad list.

the recency bias of this crony list can only be understood when you know it comes from Apple the king of programmed obsolescence.

[@joantaveras4721]

Came here for the comments. Glad to see we are all on the same page.

[@jupsilvam]

Nevermind at #9 is just a joke. It´s like they see that in Rolling Stone and think "yea it is the #9 for a fact" when in reality Nevermind is not even top ten of the best albums of the grunge scence.

[@Supermanfan99]

Yeah, but it's still a great album, probably the most well known grunge album, and you can't argue the impact it had.

[@jupsilvam]

@@Supermanfan99 impact ≠ music quality

[@Fanged.Fiend.Reactor]

At least throw in another grunge album. Temple of the Dog?!?

[@Bow503]

best albums: OFF the wall. Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, History

do yourself a favour - next time u want to release a best of all time list ask real music experts and not trainees...😂

[@okoyejohnpaul459]

The best ever musical album being made is "One Love" Album by Bob Marley, if you haven't listened to it, go listen to the album, The album is a Masterpiece.

[@Austinjn]

No Licensed To I’ll by the Beastie Boys. It was the first rap album to go #1 on the Billboard Charts. 😢

[@KatieCampbell-jd9nd]

Wish You Were Here deserved a spot! Or any other Floyd record for that matter

[@frankalmanzar3492]

I think Lemonade was a great album production wise. I’d probably put it in the top 20 but not 10. The College Dropout and TPAB should’ve made the list imo. I think a Red Hot Chili Pepper’s album, Coldplay and Gorillaz should’ve made the list too.

[@Fanged.Fiend.Reactor]

Ten, Superunknown, Dirt & Temple of the Dog are all better than Nevermind.

Hahahaha lmao teh fact the fiona APPLE was missing was so funny
