the transition from all the jazz and classical to black sabbath was truly a moment

[@chriskarley384]

Big fans of jazz! Love Black Sabbath!!

[@oppothumbs1]

The best albums of all time, and sure I am missing some, and sure the order is really hard to know: ( I Probably don't know a lot of albums, but those who mention some I did know so I guess I know enough). Forever Changes - Love 60s Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield 60s Live Rust Concert - Neil Young 70s Decade - Neil Young 70s Tim - The Replacements 80s The 2023 remixed album is so great Let it Be - The Replacements 80s Pleased to Meet Me - The Replacements 80s Don't Tell a Soul - The Replacements 80s Astral Weeks - Van Morrison 60s Groundbreaking. Moon Dance - Van Morrison 70s Moments - Boz Scaggs 70s Unknown but so much better than Silk Degrees. And his second album has an unbelievably greatest version of "Loan Me A Dime" with D Allman. This Years Model - Elvis Costello and the Attractions 70s Get Happy! Elvis C and the Attractions 70s Heat Treatment - Graham Parker and the Rumour 70s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie 70s Revolver - The Beatles 60s On every album, I'm a Lennon lover. There are so many songs by Paul that I don't like (yes I know who contributed what for most any song) that the Beatles albums do not stand as tall as for the average Beatle fan. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan 60s The Doors - The Doors 60s Maybe the best debut? I am not really into their other records. Best of the Smiths Part I - The Smiths 90s I like them a lot but just don't know each album that well. The X Album - Lloyd Cole 90s Where you Been - Dinosaur Jr 90s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco 2001 Pet Sounds - Beach Boys 60s Are you Experienced - Jimi Hendrix 60s Banana album - Velvet Underground and Nico 60s Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols 70s Avalon - Roxy Music 80s Eponymous - R.E.M. 80s Aliens Lanes - Guided By Voices 90s Talk Talk Talk - The Psychedelic Furs 80s A Hard Days Night - The Beatles 60s Not a bad song. Why so low? My Aim is True - Elvis Costello 70s Shazam - The Move 60s I'm Still in Love with You - Al Green 70s Music from Big Pink - The Band 60s The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle - Bruce Springsteen 70s Happy Trails - Quicksilver Messenger Service 60s Zuma - Neil Young 70s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One - Yo la Tengo 90s My Favorite Things - John Coltrane 60s Kind of Blue - Miles Davis 50s Child is the Father to Man - Blood Sweat and Tears 70s Doolittle - The Pixies 80s Core - Stone Temple Pilots 90s Pretenders - The Pretenders 70s Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan 60s Sea Change - Beck 2002 Odelay - Beck 90s Marshal Crenshaw - "Eponymous" 70s My Maudlin Career - Camera Obscura 2009 Viva Hate - Morrissey 90s Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea - PJ Harvey 2000 Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen 80s His best. I sort of feel I like about 2 songs per album, and usually not the anthems. Warehouse: Songs and Stories - Hüsker Dü 80s So - Peter Gabriel 80s Californication - RHCP 90s (this is a questionable pick, not sure why?) Sky Blue Sky - Wilco 2007 14 songs - Paul Westerberg 90s Alien Lanes - Guided by Voices This is great! Blue Oyster Cult - debut Classical: many albums Jazz: Some albums by John Coltrane Blue Train, A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things. My least favorite albums of all time that were very popular. This doesn't mean I hate them. I really mean this, cross my heart: Abbey Road - The Beatles - The worst Beatles album and George Martin disliked it too. The White Album is not all that good but better. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones. I don't get this. Songs are OK, none are great. OK Computer - Radiohead The Wall - Pink Floyd Their worst album. Best music in a movie. Much better than The Last Waltz and better than the Beatles' "Hard Day's night" is Neil Young's "Live Rust". Neil Young's "Live Rust" does his hits and some better versions of a few songs than the originals. Movies with good soundtracks: I haven't about this before, so I'll say: A Bronx Tale, Almost Famous Not really that good: Pulp Fiction. I like Lonesome Town, Girl You'll be a woman soon, Misirlou, Lets Stay Together but hate Flowers on the Wall and Son of A Preacher Man is not a good Dusty Springfield song.

Every other era had entire genres scenes and movements worth of great music, but in the 21st century apart from rap and some tiny niche microgenres all the great music is just a selected few from a ton of different genres scenes you can't really point to any trend or anything that says "wow that was a great time for X"

[@RobbieLugos]

This really shows how insanely innovative the late 1960s were for music. Edit: Some people in the replies said that I overstated the musical influence of the late 1960s due to the flaws in the RYM algorithm. Since many RYM users don’t listen to old music, it’s not a perfect choice for finding a general consensus on albums released before the late 1960s. I agree with this sentiment to some extent, as I recently discovered some much earlier songs that I enjoy (albums weren’t very popular back then), such as Guitar Boogie by Arthur Smith from 1945, That’s All Right by Arthur Crudup from 1947, and Dust My Broom by Elmore James from 1952. However, it is worth noting that the late 1960s was a very powerful time for music. It gave us Pet Sounds, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Abbey Road, and In The Court of the Crimson King. Each of these make strong contenders for the greatest album ever made. Admittedly though, I may have drawn the wrong conclusion from the sudden musical shift in the middle of the video. Just wanted to clear that up.

yeah, while all the artists you mentioned are great, it should be noted that pretty much all of them are rated quite highly on the website. a lot of them have albums (in some cases quite a few albums) that maybe came 2nd or 3rd place for certain years. it's of course unfortunate to have to pin a bunch of great albums and artists together for certain years because it'd be nice to give them all their flowers, but that's just the result of doing a best album of each year list. i recommend anyone who feels like this list was lacking in any way to actually check out the website and scroll through the charts for each year, and you'll likely be a lot more satisfied.

The choices I made are based on my experience visiting sites such as the one used for the video, plus an idea of how many people listen to the artists. That's why I said that your comment was audacious, because I know for a fact that several of these artists albums are ranked Top10, sometimes even Top5 for the years they were released. So to assert that they would be lucky to be Top50 on their respective year is ridiculous. Exuma and Wipers are artists that I could see *not* cracking Top50.

insane downfall

[@antoniocasaca7606]

A list that completely surprised me (in a positive way). I don't agree with all the choices (which is absolutely normal) but it's a consistent and high-quality list. There are some albums that I don't know at all and others that I only know "in passing", but the mere 5 seconds that I listened to these albums "opened my appetite" to listen to them. Highlight that my favorite band (Pink Floyd) is represented with 3 albums, including the superlative "animals" which is sometimes a little undervalued in comparison to "wish you were here", "the wall" and "dark side of the moon". It is also worth noting that the "kings" of progressive rock King Crimson are equally represented with 3 albums. And also Radiohead, also with 3 albums. Finally, I highlight Stevie Wonder's album "songs in the key of life", which is, in my opinion, the best double album in the history of pop/rock music.

i hoped to see space oddity in the 1969 section of the video....

[@mind_the_gapfluflux2363]

@@FlavioPiconeNah, the Space Oddity song is great for sure, but the whole album is no true 1969 contender. I had expected to see Low or Heroes on this list, though.

Regardless of the criteria for positioning the songs, I'm definitely checking out some of the newer albums, that Ichiko Aoba album has piqued my curiosity. And considering I'm already a Pink Floyd and Radiohead stan I think I'll have a nice time.

I think its just overreacting to oriental artists, not that they bring anything new to the table

[@homomilleumbrae]

@@kgfcts I feel that your reply is a bit too unnecessarily harsh . I wont deny that the artist bieng japanese affected the interest of op , but the album itself appeared quite interesting. The cover , the ethereal quality of the music . I have also listened the whole album and i can tell you , it definitely had the ethereal / dream- like quality that is suggested here . Also , i dont think that music needs to innovative or bring something new to the table to be great or respected. Otherwise , have a great day mate

[@SynGirl32]

@@aureliano_37 Because of how RYM works, albums tend not to be ranked by how really good they are, but how uncontroversial they are relative to their quality. As such, if you know a bit about music from the last four decades, you'll realise a lot of the albums presented here are niche or downright obscure. For example, Nirvana's Nevermind is generally considered the best and most important album of 1991. However, because of how popular it is, it does have a small hatedom that's still enough to drag it down. Meanwhile, Loveless is unanimously considered the best shoegaze album ever. Thus, it ranked higher, even if it's only really popular amongst the shoegaze crowd and doesn't have massive mainstream appeal.

[@md244-w6v]

@@SynGirl32i mean i get what your saying. There are people who are like ‘oh this is really popular I don’t like that much’ but i mean your point with loveless is just dumb. Even if it’s got less appeal & is more niche does that make the music contained in it inherently worse off? Both are amazing albums, I personally call nevermind a 10/10 which I think rarely and loveless would be a 9 for me. But loveless is a pick that makes sense for the year. You could make this argument with every year. it’s literally one pick and there’s gonna be so many great albums missing

Wow. 1966 really took a turn. Great list!!

[@Bradley_Lute]

I think that's more about demographics than a stark change in music per se. Boomers is the biggest and almost the oldest generation alive at this point. It skews the first 50 years of the list quite a bit. They're is no rock and roll before the Beatles and that's a bit sus.

[@ulink265]

​@@Bradley_Lutethats because rock was pretty much all singles until like 1962 and even at that point it was really pop centered music, with re used lyrics, songs with 2 or 3 chords and sometimes even 1, i wasnt until 1964, that rock really started proving that It can be an actuallly good genre.
