Top 5 Albums for every year from 1960-1999 ( The Evolution Of The Most Acclaimed Albums)

None of these are my opinions! I took them from the average ratings of albums from the popular website rateyourmusic. I got the idea from / @rymcharts , go check him out.
Making a Pt. 2 but with the 21st century likely very soon.

1960 - 1965: jazz, MORE JAZZ! 1966 - 1969: psychedelia, MORE PSYCHODELIA! 1970 - 1975 - hard rock, art rock and a spoon of jazz 1976 - 1979: art rock, punk rock, funk, disco and new wave 1980 - 1984: new wave, post punk, disco and heavy metal 1985 - 1992: heavy metal, extreme metal (death, doom, thrash), grunge, alternative rock and a spoon of hip hop beats 1993 - 1999: the total domination of alternative and rap music. SO BEAUTIFUL! ❤❤❤

[@ssssssstssssssss]

Basically whatever was popular with music bros during that time period with a few exceptions. You missed folk though.

[@arvaakuka8568]

1985-1992 has to be my favourite musical period

[@Driven2Beers]

Don't forget prog: King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush were up there.

[@ObjectivelyL]

Its so funny how many people think that you made this list. Anyway we got to boost the rating of Tago Mago ASAP!!!!

[@countdebleauchamp]

Fabulous list, wonderful variety.

[@luisamarante2110]

Its good to see Brazilian albums on the list

[@antikepos]

[@felipeostrufkmelo3641]

18:13 Glad to see my favorite album from my favorite band, also, the fact that there's a lot of brazilian albums

[@rogercageot-prod]

Very glad to see Clube da esquina in your interesting top. This album IS a wonder

[@johnnyroses3474]

Damn, that was amazing... Living modern times you sometimes you forget how much of a good stuff is there and so accessible. Kind of reminded myself. Thank you for that! Much love❤✌

I'm gonna keep this video. What a great selection.

[@The_Eclipse_Conspiracy]

As as i respectfully disagree with the placement of some of these albums THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING STILL LIFE BY OPETH it should be number 1 though

[@thenightranger987]

They did not pick these. These are the highest albums on RateYourMusic

[@dompicc888]

Not having certain albums on here like Black in Back just to throw one out that stunned really puzzles me. Placement of some of these albums and their scores too were wack.

[@spriterefreshed935]

Back in black is only popular because of how simple it is.

[@dompicc888]

@@spriterefreshed935 I disagree lol

[@dompicc888]

I would say that it has impeccable consistency. A great aspect an album can have is being consistently great and it does this so well. In turn, the instrumentals are very very good. It’s just different tastes. Radiohead’s OK Computer is amazing but it is great in a different way. It changes it’s style and experiments with different sounds throughout the LP. Both of these albums are all timers in their own right. Just different preferences.

[@dompicc888]

@Kesteen You’re right

[@Liamology_]

Though on the website Born To Run is rated very highly.

[@TheoCharrasse]

Aphex Twin, Another Green World, Prefab Sprout Steve McQueen, Animals, TDSOTM, Wish You Were Here, The Smiths, Songs From The Big Chair. For me, I'm missing The Division Bell in 1994, Supertramp, New Order Power, Corruption & Lies and an album by The Blue Nile (Hats?).

[@spriterefreshed935]

I love all the albums you mentioned, too!

[@TheCenist]

Great list! Thanks a lot

[@spriterefreshed935]

Thanks for the comment!

[@alejandrovazquez7352]

Amazing how the beatles appear every year from 1964 to 1969

[@manupiolaz098]

I never imagined seeing an Invisible album by the great Luis Alberto Spinetta and even less so that it would be my favorite album "Jardín de los presentes"

[@IvarTheBrainless]

Very interesting and diverse list. Have to admit I'm a little disappointed Nick Cave didn't pop his weird lookin' little head up at some point, but a great list of albums none the less.

[@spriterefreshed935]

Me too! Nick cave is great.

[@JackMaglc]

Yeah it's official. 1967-69 were the most important years in music. Probably the best too

[@Yesenjoyer]

Glad to see prog, but no Relayer😢

[@spriterefreshed935]

Relayer is also great!

[@jamesheath7601]

17:28 best album of that year ❤

[@1046C]

😢 Where's my Trout Mask Replica at?

[@PinedaM]

FINALLY SOMEONE PUT SOME RESPECT ON FLOYD. BEST 4 ALBUM RUN EVER!!!

[@ДенисПервушин-г8б]

Good list, but a bit strange for 90s. Where are these ones: Metallica/Metallica - 1991 Cranberries/No needs to argue - 1994 Pink Floyd/Division bell - 1994 Oasis/What's the story... - 1995?

[@jayrodriguez4486]

As he puts in the description, this list is based on the sometimes downright confusing opinion of rateyourmusic page

[@juanguzman1292]

No Brit Pop !

[@dariiofernando]

VAMOS!! DEAD CAN DANCE EN EL TOP5!!

[@benito1513]

So glad to see two fantastic Talk Talk albums on this list, one of my favourite bands I never hear about!

[@slimjim4239]

refreshing list

[@Buzz_Animations]

Why no Full Moon Fever at 89? Its much better than the Stone Roses debut imo

[@muscl3beard]

[@spriterefreshed935]

I think it’s #8 for 1971. Sublime album

[@OHakkinen_]

Nah bro censored Hemispheres cover 💀

Just in case. I saw RYMCharts get his video taken down for the Nevermind cover, so I wanted to be safe.

[@misu73373]

purple rain should be in the 1984 list, but it's a soundtrack, so they don't show it

[@stereosanct1ty]

[@rogercageot-prod]

Maybe too much artists repeating, so you (they) missed some great ones ; The Police? Run DMC? Rolling stones? Serge Gainsbourg? PiL? Pretenders? ACDC? Blur? Bob Marley? James Brown? Erkin Koray? (to discover)

[@dompicc888]

Thank you. I’m not a huge Stones fan but they had nothing. Like what?

[@rogercageot-prod]

Their best LPs: Let it bleed for me. And Sticky fingers. Criticals prefer Exile on main street or Beggars banquet Iconoclasts would like Emotion rescue or Goats head (purists hate that period post 1972 to 1986)

[@OHakkinen_]

These are not his opinion.

[@dompicc888]

@@OHakkinen_ I wasn’t sure. I just found it weird regardless.

[@gabix7488]

the statistics are definitely wrong. 1991 GNR Use your Illusion and Metallica album were the best sellers of the year also Achtung Baby by U2 1995 Alanis Morissete Jagged Little Pill was voted the album of the year and God knows how many times that record went platinum

[@EvilJonkler55]

I'm genuinely offended brothers in arms by dire straits was not on 1985

[@dariiofernando]

is #69 because it has tens of thousands of ratings, which brings the average down. If it had far fewer, it would probably be in the top 10

[@MockDH]

how dare you not put brothers in arms by dire straits on 1985... i am offendedI really appreciate the effort you put into discussing Hounds of Love, but honestly, I feel Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits deserves more recognition. Every song on that album has heart and substance-there’s no filler. Hounds of Love may have one great hit at the beginning, but the rest just doesn’t compare in terms of depth and consistency. I find it offensive when albums like Brothers in Arms, which have so much more to offer from start to finish, get overshadowed. It's not just an album, it's an experience.

[@namehere1535]

This is a public voted list off the website rym if you like an album go vote dont complain to the video maker

[@kd2mill]

This list is still a limited cross section of a limited poll. Hardly the "most popular" or "best-selling" in any genre. Certainly not the "best quality" for sure. It sounds like those polled were on drugs when they chose their picks.

[@petercorbett3794]

Odd choices here at times! Almost everything Mingus and Coltrane ever recorded…lists eh!

1969 LET IT BLEED????????

While I myself love that album, I must admit the top 5 albums in the video upsurp it.

[@quinnmackay-smith9352]

Why is Purple Rain not number 1 on 1984?

[@spriterefreshed935]

I checked for you, it has a 4.13/5 but it’s a soundtrack so it’s not eligible for this list.

[@antoniogalianojerez9942]

La lista más extraña que he visto en mi vida. La vi entera por la curiosidad que me despertaba su absoluta falta de lógica: da a kate bush dos números 1, igual que a Bjork, ignora completamente a tori amos, pero de repente en el 99 pone a Fiona Apple... incluye (inesperado regalo que agradezco) el primer disco de chamelleons, y algo de smiths, cure, depeche mode, tears for fears, talk talk, radiohead... pero sin embargo no existe U2, coldplay... luego está lo de genesis (su ausencia es suficiente motivo para poner en su sitio el valor de esta lista) aunque luego sale peter gabriel III... en fin, podría seguir, pero ha quedado claro.

[@antoniogalianojerez9942]

Coldplay no había publicado su debut en el 99 por tanto no es un error que no aparezca. Es un error mío.

[@OnlyGoodMusic_]

@@antoniogalianojerez9942 tambien es un error pensar que coldplay y radiohead están a la par

[@antoniogalianojerez9942]

@@OnlyGoodMusic_ ¿y dónde he dicho yo eso? Como si nombrar a Coldplay fuera un demérito para mis conocimientos... Eran un muy buen grupo hasta que se volvieron (decisión suya) demasiado comerciales. Y Radiohead es un grupo buenísimo, pero no todos sus discos son Ok computer, y tampoco hay que venirse tan arriba... No has entendido mi primer comentario a la lista: nombraba todo aquello que me gustaba (radiohead incluído) dentro de una lista llena de músicas que no me gustan/no conozco, y aprovechaba para mencionar mi extrañeza por el hecho de que absurdamente no figuraran otras que sí podrían haber estado si la lista tuviera alguna coherencia (y ahí puse por error de fechas a Coldplay).

So basically Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Dylan, Mingus, Beatles, and for some reason Black Sabbath and after that I stopped watching. This feels like not a list of what people like but what they think they're supposed to like. In the real world, people liked The Monkees but that's not artsy enough I suppose.
