It's just an absolutely insane decision to include that Bad Bunny album. Without it, they could just say that the list is English language only, but with it, they are basically saying Astroworld is better than every album in any language other than English
Also how are they gonna put bad bunny over a shakira album, or so many other much more historically important spanish artists?? Or over kpop? I like bad bunny but that was so weird
@@mtstomack7053 yes that's the point. The most recent hip hop album was 6 years ago and they put it at 98. There was only 3 other hip hop albums after 2010.
I agree, honestly I think these lists exist more to be discussion points than anything. I don’t think there is an objectively good way to rank all music like this.
I think if they were gonna put all these modern pop albums on the list, it is geniunely psychotic that somehow After Hours, or even any of The Weeknd didn't make the list. He's the biggest pop star of the modern era and he's nowhere to be found. Insane.
People hearing Lauryn Hill for the first time is a great point, that’s great. Imagine millions of people hearing Surfer Rosa by the Pixies for the first time. Surfer Rosa #1 would be amazing and the chaos would be hilarious
I agree 1000% how could they not include judas priest or iron maiden or any classic metal bands when they put ACDC on this list? I'm more of a hardcore/very heavy metal fan and I understand why they wouldn't put super heavy albums on this list but those bands are classics who have a massive impact on what metal is today. The potential for international inclusion with bands like sepultura or gojira any other south american band is also a crazy missed opportunity. (Also I hope your username is a dillinger escape plan reference)
As a rock and metal guy, mostly I feel there are glaring omissions. No King Crimson right? Wild Pink Floyd - WYWH and Animals Yes - Close to the edge Iron Maiden - Number of the beast (I'd go Seventh Son personally) Judas Priest - Painkiller Slayer - Reign in Blood Megadeth - Rust in Piece SOAD - Toxicity (Hypnotize is my fav) Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Metallica - Ride the Lightning (I think both it and Master belong) Deep Purple - Machine Head Leonard Cohen - Songs of love and hate Nick Drake - Pink Moon Black Sabbath - Self Titled, Paranoid, Master of Reality. Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bullocks Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (OK that's it, I'll go insane adding more) I think all those could justifiably be put in the top 100.
Rust in Peace my beloved...Toxicity is also incredible (I still haven't listened to iron maiden nearly as much as I ought to have, but my choice thus far would *also* be seventh son :3)
the only arctic monkeys album i would consider to put on that list is their debut, whatever people say i am etcetec. that album is literally flawless. perfection from start to finish, not only songs wise, but also thematically. even years after, it stays perfect. and even THEN i would only put that album on the 80-90 range. AM is truly trash i really feel oblivious to everyone's adoration of it
No mention of When the Pawn by Fiona Apple? One of the greatest singer-songwriter records ever and a great example of an artist with real generational talent. Definitely a big snub for - she’s even got Apple in her name!
no emo, hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post rock, or any truly alternative music was here. every “rock” album included was the sort to be sold on a T shirt at kohls
I always think this about top 100 lists. obviously music is entirely subjective so it’s hard to determine THE best album etc. but it often feels like these lists are the best albums that are mainstream enough for people to know about. there is almost certainly 100s of albums out there that are objectively better than many on this list that would never show up because they aren’t known. kind of the issue with trying to objectively rank an art form ( like how do you logically compare an emo album to a hip hop album) but it does feel like they’re ranking common preference rather than quality. mainstream music isn’t objectively better but that’s what these lists will always reflect
@@clarasbeans agreed, also a list that includes a lot of underground artists won’t be marketable because people won’t identify with it as much. people want to feel vindicated and validated and see their favorite artists and albums on a list like this. When you put underground music on a list like that, you risk marketability and shareability.
I agree with Riley on the modern pop albums and I really thought it was weird that The Weeknd wasn’t included when artists like Billie eilish and Adele were
I have to say, that Billie album is her best, and probably my favorite album by a female pop star probably since emotion by Carly Rae Jepson. Both of those albums are better than 21 and 1989
@@devinskoglund6320 Not true at all,lol....her albums are literally top tier,u can't be as highly rated n relevant as she is with only 4 albums in 16 years if they're "boring"
The way people feel about Taylor Swift fans I feel like is even more true about Beyoncé's fans. It feels like they force us to put her up there with the greatest artists of all time. She makes good pop/r&b music, but I don't feel like her music deserves that level of acclaim.
Understand the opinion but definitely not.. if that's your personal view point I can see why cause of fans but besides how any fanbase can can be it is deserved and earned in Beyonce case. I recommend listening to lemonade alone like another comment said. i say it would show you Alot and even more so if you watched the film with that album the message and visuals are out of this world, the topics of marriage struggles, racism,womanhood and more are so powerful And unlike Taylor Swift besides just being popular and having streaming numbers with Beyonce there actual impact and changes to the landscape of music with each album drop since self titled with the music, films and just unhuman work ethic , performances and overall talent, she really is one of our very few mega stars especially from her era still living today making culture shifting work, while in theory she should be slowing down or getting worse she just keep putting out even better work, And even more so then fans, critics and many artist even on this very list look up to her and stand up for her cause the work she does is truly inspiring, even at awards shows where many times now when she was nominated for album of the year and other artist nominated AND spoke out after her being snubbed. Literally Adele won a few years back and said she couldn't accept the award cause lemonade was THAT monumental. Opposed to a Taylor like mentioned for example that won 3 or 4 times now (once over Kendrick to pimp a butterfly of all things) granted she makes great music for her audience but her music didn't hit the same level as a Kendrick not Beyonce (she literally looks up to her) or tackles these important and still relevant topics racism issues, black empowerment, queerness and LGBT awareness and more all done in a great and moving way! I also recommended Renaissance from Beyonce! Very great and forward thinking album that honor's queer culture so well! But yeah imo that's few of the biggest differences between those two
I feel like Riley's point about The Swifties being the reason for Taylor in the top 20 explains more about the list than just that placement. There are a ton of contemporary female artists with rabid stanbases on this list (Taylor, SZA, Lana, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, etc.) who's inclusions ramp up interactions with the list due to back and forth online reactions of approval/outrage to those placements. Inclusion of other albums by currently popular artists (Bad Bunny, Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler, etc.) just make it more clear that this list exists predominantly to boost interactions via baiting fanbases rather than honestly gauge the history of popular music.
My snubs: Mbv- loveless/mbv Title fight- shed/floral green Kendrick-tpab/damn Daft punk- random access memories Gorillaz-plastic beach/demon days And probably about a thousand more
If we’re being real, there’s no way Paranoid by Black Sabbath doesn’t crack the top 100. It’s one of the first metal albums ever made, AND one which is iconic to this day.
I will say, I just really like to hear you two talk about your own music histories. Graydon especially has a perspective on jazz/funk that you don't hear a lot of on Music RUclips, and it's valuable
as a lifelong Taylor Swift fan, I think she deserved an album on the list, but I don't think it should've been 1989 and I think whatever Taylor album was on the list should've been in the bottom 50
I think folklore should’ve been on here because it’s just better in terms of storytelling, lyrics, sound, uniqueness, etc - I love all her albums (to different degrees obviously) but 1989 is an album that should have been lower, i think they only did it because it’s such a popular album - like any Taylor fan will tell you that it’s not her best work even if it’s their fav
Music is subjective. What a bunch of music dorks and snobs think is irrelevant. If you want to put a Taylor Swift album high up in your top album list then do it.
1989 had a HUGE influence on the pop music that came after it so i’m assuming that’s why it’s here. that said, i think it’s wayy way too high on the list
I agree with my dad, who said there wasn’t nearly enough synth music, like Depeche Mode or New Order. He was happy with the Nine Inch Nails inclusion tho
Johnny Cash, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne, Funkadelics, Willy, Waylon, Simon and Garfunkel, Black Sabbath, sooo many artists that should have been here. Instead we got Bad Bunny lmaooo
Wish you were Here, Any Black Sabbath Album, Dirt - Alice in Chains, The Black saint and the sinner Lady - Charles Mingus are all major snubs, some other albums I personally would like to have seen and would absolutely derserve to be on here are Qotsa - Songs for the Deaf, Freddie Gibbs - Piñata and Promises - Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points
I really appreciate you guys talking about Clics Modernos! I'm from Argentina and that's one of my favorite albums of all time. Glad you enjoy it as well.
Or Judas Priest, Pantera, System of a Down, Deftones , or Linkin Park I’m not so big of a metal head that I’m super upset with metal being underrepresented. However, there were amazing metal albums that were snubbed.
snubs for me: Simon & Garfunkel, The Kinks, The Who, The Police, Peter Gabriel, Any Motown act other than Stevie and Marvin, REM, and my #1 - Van Morrison.
Ten by Pearl Jam is my personal biggest snub. I understand Nevermind has more impact as a grunge album, but Ten is just as good. Additionally no RHCP, Black Sabbath, 2001, TPAB, Led Zeppelin IV, and so on is crazy
Slipknot self titled was one of the most influential albums in nu metal as well as Joey Jordison being one of the most influential drummers. And toxicity by SOAD not being included blows my mind
For me, the crazy omission is Since I Left You by the Avalanches, the way that album flows and takes you to so many places makes it my favorite album to listen to front to back, its incredible
the craziest thing to me about this list is that they listed taylor swift but like as someone who lives with swifties it’s not even the best taylor album. where is folklore? hello speak now? has anyone seen evermore anywhere?
nothing pisses me off more than his music taste. floyd is so influential and its insane for someone who likes radiohead so much to be so anti pink floyd considering how similar their music can be.
@@agirl9041 it bums me out cause I would love if they were to talk about them at all, but that will never happen since Riley doesn’t like them and Graydon doesn’t like them enough to ever bring them up.
No shoegaze is crazy, but also NO post rock, post punk, electronic/IDM, plunderphonics, and ambient is wild considering how important these genres are and especially how influential some of the albums/artists from these genres like my bloody valentine and slowdive, GY!BE, mogwai, slint, sigur ros, swans, talk talk, joy division, wire, sonic youth, cocteau twins, the avalanches, J Dilla, Aphex twin, Boards of canada, Brian eno, Tim hecker, and more. Also only ONE prog rock album in this entire list and that’s dsotm which is disappointing considering how hugely important a genre it is and albums from bands like CAN, king crimson and genesis not being here are wild. Barely any funk/soul representation as well sadly, James brown and Parliament/Funkadelic absolutely needed to be on this list.
albums that were snubbed from above mentioned (and some other) artists: loveless by mbv and souvlaki by slowdive, F♯ A♯ ∞ and Lift your skinny fists like antennae up to heaven, spiderland by slint, Ágætis byrjun by sigur rós, anything by swans but specifically Soundtracks for the blind, the great annihilator, The seer and to be kind, laughing stock and spirit of Eden by talk talk, unknown pleasures and closer by joy division, pink flag by wire, daydream nation by sonic youth, Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau twins, Since I left you by the avalanches, donuts by J Dilla, Endtroducing by DJ shadow, Selected ambient works Vol 1 and Vol 2 and The Richard D James album by aphex twin, Music has the right to children and geogaddi by Boards of Canada, earth 2 by earth, the fat of the land by the prodigy, ambient 1: music for airports and another green world by Brian eno, harmony in ultraviolet and virgins by Tim hecker, replica and R plus seven by oneohtrix point never, violator by depeche mode, in the court of the crimson king, red, larks tongue in aspic by king crimson, future days, ege bamyasi, tago mago by CAN, Long season by Fishmans, Maggot brain, Mothership connection, one nation under a groove by Parliament/Funkadelic, the payback by James brown, superfly by Curtis mayfield, the archandroid and electric lady by Janelle monae
i think because there were better grunge albums (nevermind by nirvana is top ten) and pearl jam didnt influence much outside of grunge, which wasnt that popular for more thatn 2/3 years
graydon said everything i was thinking about country not being on the list, down to red headed stranger being the obvious pick. I'd also include jolene, live at folsom prison, and the townes van zandt self titled at least
I think Waylon deserved a spot somewhere in there too. Like even as someone that doesn’t know country too well he has such a reach and such a way with words
Insane .... but Beyonce cracks the Top 10. This is an insult to the industry, all musicians and listeners and makes the panel that made the list look like frauds and imbeciles.
This is such an interesting video because you can tell that Riley and Graydon are not doing bits. Don’t get me wrong. I love their bits, I am just glad to see them talking how they really feel.
Y’know, as big of a fan I am of Queen, I cant really think of an album that could fit in the top 100 of all time. I guess maybe either A Night at the Opera or Queen II. Maybe even A Day At The Races.
as someone who out of curiosity listened to that todd rundgren album after watching this - RECOMMEND IT 100000 times over, genuinely breathtaking music
I feel like it’s gotta be intentional. Like someone at Apple absolutely knew putting a few wild out there takes in-between a handful of universally agreed upon picks is a sure fire way to make one of these ”top albums” lists go viral and get people talking
One of the albums I thought of that I think absolutely deserves a spot somewhere on the list is Marquee Moon by Television. An absolute classic and perfect album.
would have loved to see at the drive in, the mars volta, danny brown, death grips, sophie or green day, was honestly shocked that there was no toxicity, hybrid theory or any of the first few black sabbath albums. a lot of artists were right to be on there but not the album i'd pick from them (kendrick, tyler, nirvana) also, the fame monster definitely belongs on the list, that album is 🔥 and surprisingly influential to the trajectory of popular music the past decade or so
When there was no Dolly I was done. Excuse me, Jolene by Dolly Parton one of the most recognizable albums and songs around the world is not on this list??? What??? Huh???
I still can't believe they put 1989 above PET SOUNDS, an album that literally changed how music is written/produced and directly inspired the second half of the Beatles' career. You're telling me that "Shake It Off" is better than "God Only Knows"? Seriously?
I see what you mean but this still feels a little bit like cherrypicking since most songs on 1989 aren't as bad as Shake It Off and most songs on Pet Sounds aren't as good as God Only Knows
Music has been around for so long that such lists are crazy to me. They should limit them, like best 100 albums from the 2010s, 00s because so much great music has been made recently that it's frustrating to constantly see the same albums over and over and over. Like yeah, abbey road is great, the chronic is great, purple rain is great but do I need to be reminded of that again?? So many good modern albums get snubbed because of our constant need to shoehorn the same 70 ones. It's okay to admit that the new generation makes good music too. And that will also serve as a great way to contrast how sound has changed over the years. Also, renaissance is beyonce's best album
You’re so right on Renaissance being Bey’s best album, but like I think 3 Beyoncé albums on the list would’ve been too much and Renaissance is still pretty recent. All 3 of them are no skips for me but I think self titled should’ve been a little higher up. at least top 20 if Taylor and Adele were up there (Adele would agree)
@@bertramwinkleofficial I just worry that renaissance will never make it into such lists no matter how amazing it was, (especially that tour!) just because we'll have to constantly be like, renaissance above purple rain?? Or sth like that. No space for future, jpegmafia, polachek, jessie ware, even folklore should be given a chance in the conversation, like low 90s. Let the newbies shine. Let's celebrate the legends in separate lists
Im just shocked that ITCOTCK didnt show up on the list. Genuinely one of the most important rock albums ever recorded. Mixed rock, with jazz just perfectly. King Crimson needed to be there.
Love the Todd Rundgren shout out! In a similar vein it would have been great to see Scott Walker on here, either the stellar 60s pop of Scott 3 or 4, or some of the nightmare fuel from his later trilogy
i mean for me my most painful snubs are prob panchiko makoto matsushita quadeca van halen black sabbath limperatrice abba matt maltese john lennon Johnny cash cigarettes after sex Rammstein korn mac demarco ice cube i mean like i could go on for like 3 hours lmfao with just metal,emo ,jazz these genres were completely snubbed its crazy
Television - Marquee Moon Big Star - #1 Record Built to Spill - Perfect from Now On Nick Drake - Pink Moon Elliott Smith - Either/Or Weezer - Blue Album King Crimson - Red GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas Green Day - Dookie My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Slint - Spiderland Madvillainy But at least they had Bad BUnny
I'm kinda thrown off by the lack of not only traditional jazz but jazz fusion. I thought ONE of the three Headhunters, Heavy Weather or Bitches Brew would've been guaranteed. Hell if they wanted to be a little more hip they could've had The Inner Mounting flame but that's just me.
Tbh im happy with #1 because I grew up on 90s R & B, so that would probably be my #1 too. Riley mentioning that this album was new for a lot of people was a shock to me tbh bc I've been listening to Lauryn Hill since I was a kid.
I agree with a bunch of the picks riley and graydon said but id also like to say that while expected, this list had like absolutely no punk and metal albums here besides london calling and master of puppets. I get that these types of critics arent really big into these genres but there SHOULD have been some ones here. My picks would be for punk: My war by Black Flag (damaged could also do, but i think my war would start a more interesting conversation about the type of music that was inspired by it, like sludge metal, grunge and more) Static age by the misfits (classic classic album that gives u the best of early punk, the energy, attitude and songwriting are all in its peak form) Bad brains by bad brains (the quintessential hardcore punk album really that inspired every single person in that scene, it also has all this reggae genre fusion in it so it really could work as a critics choice. Also they are an all black punk so some more representation would be nice) Repeater by fugazi (if u wanna show a different and more progressive side of punk and the post hardcore scene, i think that this would be a really great pick. Fugazi are some of the most prolific musicians and their work outside of the music also is just as important REALLY should have been here imo since its also a critics pick) Jane doe by converge (this is a very critic bait album but for top 100 i understand that it might have been a bit much (especially since theres no heavy music here) but its a classic that really pushed the boundaries of heavy music and deserves to be here) Spiderland by slint (HOW IS THIS NOT ON THERE. Im not even the biggest slint fan but this is such a no brainer idk how this missed the list) Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead kennedys (fresh fruit could also work, dead kennedys are a must and if this was the only record of these on the list id be fine with it. Perfectly encapsulates the best things of the genre) For metal id say: Number of the beast by Iron Maiden (really one of the most iconic albums ever, from the cover to the songs its just really the essence of 80s metal and it should have been on the list) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black sabath (im putting this one here cause its my favorite but like... how is there no sabbath here thats crazy. I think their most deserving here would be paranoid or master of reality) Sound of persevearence by Death (this never would have made it but i think death def deserves to be in the conversation of having albums in the top 100 oat. Chuck was an incredible songwriter and their music hits a nerve that no other band rly does) Toxicuty by SOAD (Rage against the machine was here so ig that covered it but i think this album def deserves to be on the list, even if my fave is the debut) There are a lot more albums and bands that are just as deserving but i think this would cover a good ground. I dont think that theres a universe where all thess could have been in there but a few of these should have made the cut IMO to atleast acknowledge some others sides of music. All in all dignan had a gun on the executives face so the list was rigged
@@natefroggy3626 i’m sure you’ve at least heard of live at folsom prison by johnny cash. black saint and the sinner lady is charles mingus and it’s generally considered one of the best jazz albums of all time. Watermelon man is Herbie Hancock, graydon mentions it in the video. CSNY is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, another group that was very popular in its day, but actually if any album was going to be on here it would be Crosby Stills and Nash. Paranoid is by black sabbath and I think you would at least recognise the title track. Seminal metal album, created like 30 subgenres of metal, really subtle and tasteful stuff. Tommy Iommi is the goat fr.
I agree with Riley that most of the picks aren't outwardly terrible, it's the placements that make them jarring. Personally, I'm a huge Swiftie and I think a Taylor album deserved to make it with her huge influence (1989 isn't even my fave, personally) but it seemed like a set up to sandwich her between a bunch of classic picks in the top 20. Easy target.

No mention of When the Pawn by Fiona Apple? One of the greatest singer-songwriter records ever and a great example of an artist with real generational talent. Definitely a big snub for - she’s even got Apple in her name!
i agree, genuinely irritated that wasn’t on here
no emo, hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post rock, or any truly alternative music was here. every “rock” album included was the sort to be sold on a T shirt at kohls
I always think this about top 100 lists. obviously music is entirely subjective so it’s hard to determine THE best album etc. but it often feels like these lists are the best albums that are mainstream enough for people to know about. there is almost certainly 100s of albums out there that are objectively better than many on this list that would never show up because they aren’t known. kind of the issue with trying to objectively rank an art form ( like how do you logically compare an emo album to a hip hop album) but it does feel like they’re ranking common preference rather than quality. mainstream music isn’t objectively better but that’s what these lists will always reflect
@@clarasbeans agreed, also a list that includes a lot of underground artists won’t be marketable because people won’t identify with it as much. people want to feel vindicated and validated and see their favorite artists and albums on a list like this. When you put underground music on a list like that, you risk marketability and shareability.
No van halen either😂
I agree with Riley on the modern pop albums and I really thought it was weird that The Weeknd wasn’t included when artists like Billie eilish and Adele were
I have to say, that Billie album is her best, and probably my favorite album by a female pop star probably since emotion by Carly Rae Jepson. Both of those albums are better than 21 and 1989
@@Baker33 Lol,Billie n Carly Rae Jepson don't have an album better than 21,be serious
@@risizirevlon4338 adele is a good vocalist but her albums are so boring
@@devinskoglund6320 Not true at all,lol....her albums are literally top tier,u can't be as highly rated n relevant as she is with only 4 albums in 16 years if they're "boring"
The way people feel about Taylor Swift fans I feel like is even more true about Beyoncé's fans. It feels like they force us to put her up there with the greatest artists of all time. She makes good pop/r&b music, but I don't feel like her music deserves that level of acclaim.
Literally.
Just listen to lemonade, you'll understand
yes thank you god I'm so glad to hear someone have an honest opinion about Beyonce
Understand the opinion but definitely not.. if that's your personal view point I can see why cause of fans but besides how any fanbase can can be it is deserved and earned in Beyonce case. I recommend listening to lemonade alone like another comment said. i say it would show you Alot and even more so if you watched the film with that album the message and visuals are out of this world, the topics of marriage struggles, racism,womanhood and more are so powerful And unlike Taylor Swift besides just being popular and having streaming numbers with Beyonce there actual impact and changes to the landscape of music with each album drop since self titled with the music, films and just unhuman work ethic , performances and overall talent, she really is one of our very few mega stars especially from her era still living today making culture shifting work, while in theory she should be slowing down or getting worse she just keep putting out even better work, And even more so then fans, critics and many artist even on this very list look up to her and stand up for her cause the work she does is truly inspiring, even at awards shows where many times now when she was nominated for album of the year and other artist nominated AND spoke out after her being snubbed.
Literally Adele won a few years back and said she couldn't accept the award cause lemonade was THAT monumental. Opposed to a Taylor like mentioned for example that won 3 or 4 times now (once over Kendrick to pimp a butterfly of all things) granted she makes great music for her audience but her music didn't hit the same level as a Kendrick not Beyonce (she literally looks up to her) or tackles these important and still relevant topics racism issues, black empowerment, queerness and LGBT awareness and more all done in a great and moving way! I also recommended Renaissance from Beyonce! Very great and forward thinking album that honor's queer culture so well!
But yeah imo that's few of the biggest differences between those two
@@jenilsonsilvabathis!
I feel like Riley's point about The Swifties being the reason for Taylor in the top 20 explains more about the list than just that placement. There are a ton of contemporary female artists with rabid stanbases on this list (Taylor, SZA, Lana, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, etc.) who's inclusions ramp up interactions with the list due to back and forth online reactions of approval/outrage to those placements. Inclusion of other albums by currently popular artists (Bad Bunny, Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler, etc.) just make it more clear that this list exists predominantly to boost interactions via baiting fanbases rather than honestly gauge the history of popular music.
Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen was snubbed
This is just true
REAL

enormous facts
Putting 1989 on there and not emotion is criminal
My snubs:
Mbv- loveless/mbv

Gorillaz-plastic beach/demon days

no joy division- unknown pleasures was honestly the most shocking omission to me

The fact björk's Vespertine isn't even MENTIONED is insane
I mean, Homogenic better
one of the greatest pieces of art ever, for me
If we’re being real, there’s no way Paranoid by Black Sabbath doesn’t crack the top 100. It’s one of the first metal albums ever made, AND one which is iconic to this day.
if they were only going to put one metal album it should have been paranoid instead of master of puppets
@@rndmbs even though it should have both
I will say, I just really like to hear you two talk about your own music histories. Graydon especially has a perspective on jazz/funk that you don't hear a lot of on Music RUclips, and it's valuable
No Tame Impala album is quite literally insane. Currents is such an obvious pick.
especially with an AM album on the list. smh we should’ve been on that jury :|
Lonerism, definitely.
@@michaelmalone7231yeah Lonerism is one of the best albums of the 2010s
did you know tame impaler just one guy
lonerism is a way better album than currents
as a lifelong Taylor Swift fan, I think she deserved an album on the list, but I don't think it should've been 1989 and I think whatever Taylor album was on the list should've been in the bottom 50
I think folklore should’ve been on here because it’s just better in terms of storytelling, lyrics, sound, uniqueness, etc - I love all her albums (to different degrees obviously) but 1989 is an album that should have been lower, i think they only did it because it’s such a popular album - like any Taylor fan will tell you that it’s not her best work even if it’s their fav
Personally I think they should have reserved a spot just for “seven” even tho it’s a song
I think if it was folklore in that spot instead people would have MUCH less of an issue with her inclusion.
Music is subjective. What a bunch of music dorks and snobs think is irrelevant. If you want to put a Taylor Swift album high up in your top album list then do it.
1989 had a HUGE influence on the pop music that came after it so i’m assuming that’s why it’s here. that said, i think it’s wayy way too high on the list
I would love it if you both make your own top 100 lists or even top 10 to make it easier and guess each other’s lists on the show. It would be dope.
Yessss love that

Johnny Cash, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne, Funkadelics, Willy, Waylon, Simon and Garfunkel, Black Sabbath, sooo many artists that should have been here. Instead we got Bad Bunny lmaooo

Exactly, a slam dunk, and they wound up losing the ball trying to windmill and lost it in the 10th row.
Was not expecting graydon to just drop "Clics Modernos - Charly García" out of nowhere!
"Artaud - Pescado Rabioso" would've been a fine mention too
The Downward Spiral has more than just one song I promise

i also think ok computer is their 3rd best but saying fourth or fifth is a crazy take. I might have to blue your back out Riley
I expected The Black Parade by MCR to make it there, that album is really good and it would be a good representation of that genre as a whole
Paul Simon Graceland is a definite snub
Bridger Over Troubled Water is a way bigger snub. Insane it's not on there.
Where is icedancer
Not having TPAB seems like they genuinely just forgot. Also Loveless by MBV should’ve been on there
Ten by Pearl Jam is my personal biggest snub. I understand Nevermind has more impact as a grunge album, but Ten is just as good.
Additionally no RHCP, Black Sabbath, 2001, TPAB, Led Zeppelin IV, and so on is crazy
Slipknot self titled was one of the most influential albums in nu metal as well as Joey Jordison being one of the most influential drummers. And toxicity by SOAD not being included blows my mind
i’m all out of enemies
Korn basically founded numetal, no korn is crazy
Nice to see Steely Dan and Kraftwerk. They both need more inclusion on lists like these.
Agreed. Also Riley needs to learn how to say Aja.

my fave album but doesn't often make these kids of lifts tbh
Thank fuck Riley mentioned Elliott smith (I am unbelievably biased)
the craziest thing to me about this list is that they listed taylor swift but like as someone who lives with swifties it’s not even the best taylor album. where is folklore? hello speak now? has anyone seen evermore anywhere?
Pink Floyd is probably my favorite band of all time and it always makes me a bit sad that Riley actively dislikes them.
nothing pisses me off more than his music taste. floyd is so influential and its insane for someone who likes radiohead so much to be so anti pink floyd considering how similar their music can be.
@@agirl9041 it bums me out cause I would love if they were to talk about them at all, but that will never happen since Riley doesn’t like them and Graydon doesn’t like them enough to ever bring them up.
No shoegaze is crazy, but also NO post rock, post punk, electronic/IDM, plunderphonics, and ambient is wild considering how important these genres are and especially how influential some of the albums/artists from these genres like my bloody valentine and slowdive, GY!BE, mogwai, slint, sigur ros, swans, talk talk, joy division, wire, sonic youth, cocteau twins, the avalanches, J Dilla, Aphex twin, Boards of canada, Brian eno, Tim hecker, and more. Also only ONE prog rock album in this entire list and that’s dsotm which is disappointing considering how hugely important a genre it is and albums from bands like CAN, king crimson and genesis not being here are wild. Barely any funk/soul representation as well sadly, James brown and Parliament/Funkadelic absolutely needed to be on this list.
albums that were snubbed from above mentioned (and some other) artists: loveless by mbv and souvlaki by slowdive, F♯ A♯ ∞ and Lift your skinny fists like antennae up to heaven, spiderland by slint, Ágætis byrjun by sigur rós, anything by swans but specifically Soundtracks for the blind, the great annihilator, The seer and to be kind, laughing stock and spirit of Eden by talk talk, unknown pleasures and closer by joy division, pink flag by wire, daydream nation by sonic youth, Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau twins, Since I left you by the avalanches, donuts by J Dilla, Endtroducing by DJ shadow, Selected ambient works Vol 1 and Vol 2 and The Richard D James album by aphex twin, Music has the right to children and geogaddi by Boards of Canada, earth 2 by earth, the fat of the land by the prodigy, ambient 1: music for airports and another green world by Brian eno, harmony in ultraviolet and virgins by Tim hecker, replica and R plus seven by oneohtrix point never, violator by depeche mode, in the court of the crimson king, red, larks tongue in aspic by king crimson, future days, ege bamyasi, tago mago by CAN, Long season by Fishmans, Maggot brain, Mothership connection, one nation under a groove by Parliament/Funkadelic, the payback by James brown, superfly by Curtis mayfield, the archandroid and electric lady by Janelle monae
Am I psychotic for thinking Ten would be on the list? Pearl Jam??? Surprised me they didn’t slip it in for it’s sheer impact on grunge
i think because there were better grunge albums (nevermind by nirvana is top ten) and pearl jam didnt influence much outside of grunge, which wasnt that popular for more thatn 2/3 years
graydon said everything i was thinking about country not being on the list, down to red headed stranger being the obvious pick. I'd also include jolene, live at folsom prison, and the townes van zandt self titled at least
I think Waylon deserved a spot somewhere in there too. Like even as someone that doesn’t know country too well he has such a reach and such a way with words
Straight yorked my yoke to this. Thanks Graydon and Riley and Grant
Definitely not enough metal and punk represented on the list
ants from up there snubbed
Sgt Pepper has been consistently considered the single greatest album of all time for decades and it didn’t even crack the top 100
Insane .... but Beyonce cracks the Top 10. This is an insult to the industry, all musicians and listeners and makes the panel that made the list look like frauds and imbeciles.
Yellow desk bit being the end screen moment feels like a Marvel movie post credit scene that gets people excited for the next movie

he’s the goat
I'm glad that the world recognises how insane the list is

@@lucastaylor3399 I think you're 1000% correct. I feel like all the publications doing these types of lists are aiming for that too.
at least there was no Cardi B's album in top 20 this time
One of the albums I thought of that I think absolutely deserves a spot somewhere on the list is Marquee Moon by Television. An absolute classic and perfect album.
can’t wait to watch hivemind talk about albums i’ve never heard of for 30 minutes
them thinking flower boy is tyler's best album and also it being so low is lowkey insane to me
Regency bias is crazy on this list- no way are Beethoven, Rossini AND Liszt better than Bach
Bach is the GOAT.
would have loved to see at the drive in, the mars volta, danny brown, death grips, sophie or green day, was honestly shocked that there was no toxicity, hybrid theory or any of the first few black sabbath albums.
a lot of artists were right to be on there but not the album i'd pick from them (kendrick, tyler, nirvana)
also, the fame monster definitely belongs on the list, that album is 🔥 and surprisingly influential to the trajectory of popular music the past decade or so
When there was no Dolly I was done. Excuse me, Jolene by Dolly Parton one of the most recognizable albums and songs around the world is not on this list??? What??? Huh???
I still can't believe they put 1989 above PET SOUNDS, an album that literally changed how music is written/produced and directly inspired the second half of the Beatles' career.
You're telling me that "Shake It Off" is better than "God Only Knows"? Seriously?
I see what you mean but this still feels a little bit like cherrypicking since most songs on 1989 aren't as bad as Shake It Off and most songs on Pet Sounds aren't as good as God Only Knows
Music has been around for so long that such lists are crazy to me. They should limit them, like best 100 albums from the 2010s, 00s because so much great music has been made recently that it's frustrating to constantly see the same albums over and over and over. Like yeah, abbey road is great, the chronic is great, purple rain is great but do I need to be reminded of that again?? So many good modern albums get snubbed because of our constant need to shoehorn the same 70 ones. It's okay to admit that the new generation makes good music too. And that will also serve as a great way to contrast how sound has changed over the years.
Also, renaissance is beyonce's best album
You’re so right on Renaissance being Bey’s best album, but like I think 3 Beyoncé albums on the list would’ve been too much and Renaissance is still pretty recent. All 3 of them are no skips for me but I think self titled should’ve been a little higher up. at least top 20 if Taylor and Adele were up there (Adele would agree)
@@bertramwinkleofficial I just worry that renaissance will never make it into such lists no matter how amazing it was, (especially that tour!) just because we'll have to constantly be like, renaissance above purple rain?? Or sth like that. No space for future, jpegmafia, polachek, jessie ware, even folklore should be given a chance in the conversation, like low 90s. Let the newbies shine. Let's celebrate the legends in separate lists
Or just look for the list of contemporary albums and don't demand the all-time list be flooded with new ones?
Im just shocked that ITCOTCK didnt show up on the list. Genuinely one of the most important rock albums ever recorded. Mixed rock, with jazz just perfectly. King Crimson needed to be there.
the downward spiral being so low is crazy to me, such an unbelievably influential album it deserved top 30 at least imo
Love the Todd Rundgren shout out! In a similar vein it would have been great to see Scott Walker on here, either the stellar 60s pop of Scott 3 or 4, or some of the nightmare fuel from his later trilogy
Im not that into country, but no Dolly, Johnny or Willie is kind of nuts.

You just named a bunch of peak but they said nah let’s put some lorde, taylor swift and drake in there
17:45 something/anything was my most played album this month. ty for showing my graydon :)
I'm kinda thrown off by the lack of not only traditional jazz but jazz fusion. I thought ONE of the three Headhunters, Heavy Weather or Bitches Brew would've been guaranteed. Hell if they wanted to be a little more hip they could've had The Inner Mounting flame but that's just me.
graydon should eat a brisket with no hands!!
Tbh im happy with #1 because I grew up on 90s R & B, so that would probably be my #1 too. Riley mentioning that this album was new for a lot of people was a shock to me tbh bc I've been listening to Lauryn Hill since I was a kid.
I agree with a bunch of the picks riley and graydon said but id also like to say that while expected, this list had like absolutely no punk and metal albums here besides london calling and master of puppets. I get that these types of critics arent really big into these genres but there SHOULD have been some ones here.
My picks would be for punk:
My war by Black Flag (damaged could also do, but i think my war would start a more interesting conversation about the type of music that was inspired by it, like sludge metal, grunge and more)
Static age by the misfits (classic classic album that gives u the best of early punk, the energy, attitude and songwriting are all in its peak form)
Bad brains by bad brains (the quintessential hardcore punk album really that inspired every single person in that scene, it also has all this reggae genre fusion in it so it really could work as a critics choice. Also they are an all black punk so some more representation would be nice)
Repeater by fugazi (if u wanna show a different and more progressive side of punk and the post hardcore scene, i think that this would be a really great pick. Fugazi are some of the most prolific musicians and their work outside of the music also is just as important REALLY should have been here imo since its also a critics pick)
Jane doe by converge (this is a very critic bait album but for top 100 i understand that it might have been a bit much (especially since theres no heavy music here) but its a classic that really pushed the boundaries of heavy music and deserves to be here)
Spiderland by slint (HOW IS THIS NOT ON THERE. Im not even the biggest slint fan but this is such a no brainer idk how this missed the list)
Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead kennedys (fresh fruit could also work, dead kennedys are a must and if this was the only record of these on the list id be fine with it. Perfectly encapsulates the best things of the genre)
For metal id say:
Number of the beast by Iron Maiden (really one of the most iconic albums ever, from the cover to the songs its just really the essence of 80s metal and it should have been on the list)
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black sabath (im putting this one here cause its my favorite but like... how is there no sabbath here thats crazy. I think their most deserving here would be paranoid or master of reality)
Sound of persevearence by Death (this never would have made it but i think death def deserves to be in the conversation of having albums in the top 100 oat. Chuck was an incredible songwriter and their music hits a nerve that no other band rly does)
Toxicuty by SOAD (Rage against the machine was here so ig that covered it but i think this album def deserves to be on the list, even if my fave is the debut)
There are a lot more albums and bands that are just as deserving but i think this would cover a good ground. I dont think that theres a universe where all thess could have been in there but a few of these should have made the cut IMO to atleast acknowledge some others sides of music. All in all dignan had a gun on the executives face so the list was rigged
For real no slint is insane
I didn’t even think about Slint being on here but now that you mention it your right
- Black saint and the sinner lady
- Watermelon man
- CSNY
- Folsom prison
- Paranoid
I don’t understand how none of these were on the list
Well i havent heard of a single one of those maybe thats why
@@natefroggy3626 i’m sure you’ve at least heard of live at folsom prison by johnny cash. black saint and the sinner lady is charles mingus and it’s generally considered one of the best jazz albums of all time. Watermelon man is Herbie Hancock, graydon mentions it in the video. CSNY is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, another group that was very popular in its day, but actually if any album was going to be on here it would be Crosby Stills and Nash. Paranoid is by black sabbath and I think you would at least recognise the title track. Seminal metal album, created like 30 subgenres of metal, really subtle and tasteful stuff. Tommy Iommi is the goat fr.
I agree with Riley that most of the picks aren't outwardly terrible, it's the placements that make them jarring. Personally, I'm a huge Swiftie and I think a Taylor album deserved to make it with her huge influence (1989 isn't even my fave, personally) but it seemed like a set up to sandwich her between a bunch of classic picks in the top 20. Easy target.
