Use this as an “Anthony should make a top 100 albums of all time list” button
He already did top 20000 a while ago actually
i can’t fathom having listened to 20,000 albums
still need that all time top 100
Really I would rather have a top 20 or 10 where he talks about his personal taste and experiences and connections to the music rather than trying to make a “greatest” list.
instagram ah comment
Idk how they forgot about Fiona when they are literally named after her
lol
That’s a bar
HAHAHA SO REAL
There's no Fiona! Wtf 😮
Fetch the Bolt Cutters is truly brilliant
The U2 album that Apple forced onto everyone's iTunes should have been number 1.
I'd take that over Hotel California!!! And I haven't even heard it!!!
😂🤣😂 can’t deny tho it’s a fire album
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
@satorified1612 so you're just admitting you don't like the eagles then?
Let’s fix the title: Apple’s north american worldvision 100 best records.
Exactly
Yep
.....doesn't need to be said. People from other countries will watch this. No one is watching the top 100 for your individual country.
jesus christ ur salty
north american company made north american list? wowie zowie
Anthony Fantano the type of guy to listen to a song
Fr like who tf listens to music???
The woke agenda really messed him up I remember chugging beers and calling people N words with him, crazy how much he changed 😪💔
Fax
Agree
Bro listens to music
I can ignore TPAB not making the cut, but not having even one NAV album is where I draw the line.
There's not even any Tom Macdonald album in this list. It sucks.
anything less than three NAV albums in the top 10 is criminal
Lmaooo@@Hmmm777
facts
Haha😑
How can anyone in the universe, pick a #1 album of all time? As you get closer to #1, each pick exponentially says more about the person picking, than anything about music. Once you get to #1, you're at 100% bias
Bro you are speaking straight facts, even ranking albums is so disrespectful, and kind of dishonest to how we even process music. How do you quantify Prince over Micheal Jackson, or vice versa. We listen to the music we're in the mood for.
All of this is solved by “my/our favorite “
Companies obsession with “of all time” is Nasty
If you don't set a list of measurable and objective aspects that make an album strictly better than any other one (which I think nobody can), this kind of TOP lists are meaningless.
Right, like, the only way a top 100 oat list would feel satisfying in my opinion is if there were maybe 10 albums per number rank and each album had a blurb about it. Something to show that lots of different albums contend for the same spots on a list like that but for different reasons. That list would be so big it could be a book, but, I really think it would be an amazing resource if a big, diverse pool of educated people collaborated to make it
Just rank them in groups: 34 albums in Group A+, 52 albums in Group A, 120 albums in Group A-, etc.
Frank Ocean over Stevie Wonder is absolutely insane. Also not a single Billy Joel album? Come on
Frank Ocean is a modern Stevie, pure creative. It's shit like Usher, Swift and Bad Bunny on the list is the sad thing.
@@brendancadogan6235 i think there’s a bias towards newer music
@@brendancadogan6235 LOL... Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite ....is so much better than any Ocean record.
@brendancadogan6235 OK I love Frank, but you're reaching into oblivion lol
And in the top 5 no less. That induces head-shaking from nearly anyone. Definitely a misfire in this list.
The low percentage of jazz, blues, rock, punk, funk, indie, grunge, metal, etc. was a bit shocking. "Band music" in general seems to have taken a backseat to more contemporary individual artists on this list.
@@xwexarexbulletsx There's close to zero non-anglophone music. Egregious absence of bossa nova, latin music in general, etc. And as the OP mentioned, far too much pop and rap.
@@raugusto0 It's really truly bad. I thought the Rolling Stone list became worse every or so years ago, but this one trumped it
@@raugusto0 there isn’t “far too much rap”
The problem with people like you is if you don’t like a genre you say things like this without understanding what’s going on.
Sorry to break it to you but Hip Hop/Rap is arguably the most influential genre of music….. there’s a reason there are so many hip hop albums and lack of “Latin, punk and metal” like come on now let’s be serious.
The choices of hip hop I personally wouldn’t go with but it is what it is. I also think it’s mad linkin Park didn’t make the list but not having listened to all 100 of these albums for now I can’t be angry. Now whe. I get through all these albums I can be a better judge. (I’m 100% going to listen to all of these).
Some reason I doubt youve heard all 100 of these albums
@@raugusto0All these lists are a product of their time. The lists that were made 10 or 20 years ago lacked so much Rap and Electronic music while also adding way too much Rock is just an example of this. At then of the day, I think only a handful of albums truly deserve to be regarded as “Greatest of all time”, and most of them are always named. The Abby Roads, the What’s Going ons, the Neverminds, the TPaBs, etc. Those ubiquitous projects that you’d be crazy for not including are the ones. After that, it’s all it’s really all just a snapshot of the music trends of the times.
@@jamesonedwardsii4943
"there isn’t “far too much rap”"
Yes there is. Pop and rap completely dominated a list that was supposed to have the "100 greatest albums of all time".
"The problem with people like you is if you don’t like a genre you say things like this without understanding what’s going on."
I like rap quite a lot, not sure why you assumed I don't.
"Sorry to break it to you but Hip Hop/Rap is arguably the most influential genre of music…."
Today. In the US. It was not 20 years ago, or 30, or 40, and it is not in many countries today. Wasn't the list supposed to be a "greatest of all time" list? Even if we accept the list is going to be anglo-centric, there are genres within the American musical scene that have been completely snuffed such as blues (BB King? Robert Johnson?).
You gotta hand it to Apple for letting underdogs like Michael Jackson and Prince shine instead of playing it safe and putting every NAV album in the top 10 🙏🙏
Thanks Apple music for saying the Deluxe Taylor's Version of 1989 is better than TPAB and Wish You Were Here
@ceruvelt8073 Honestly, Taylor's album isn't the worst shout. It could've been lower in the list, but the fact they put the bad bunny album on there over TPAB is insane.
Even though NAV doesn't have 10 albums, they could've duplicated them to make the 10 placements
@@DrRAZI99or include mixtapes for tha 🐐
Nav is shit
As a certified Swiftie…1989 was not the right album and an 18 placement is crazy.
RIGHT? I am also a swiftie and I went on a whole rant in my head about how the only reason 1989 is there is because of the influence it had on pop culture. If I were to choose a Taylor album to put on top 100, it would have been folklore or speak now.
honestly most artists here dont deserve any place here IMHO including taylor obviously@@aliceinbookland1
@@aliceinbookland1I have the same exact thoughts!! Those two are perfection 🤌
@@aliceinbookland1or Red! I get why 1989 is on there though. It’s a solid Pop record for what it is. Its one of the better Pop albums from the 2010s. Not Taylor’s best album though.
Yeah, even the biggest fan would have to admit that was a bit silly, lol.. like come on
I was not aware that Anthony was a Steely Dan hater….
He’s a bum
I just watched that part and went into the comments to see if anyone else knew lol
he needs to listen to "Countdown to Ecstacy" i think he'd change his mind
@@jacobburghart8125 every god damn album they dropped was good imo bro. Aja Katy lied the royal scam perfect records. Countdown to ecstasy pretzel logic awesome.cant buy a thrill all bangers
Rightfully so
Anthony’s top 100 list would have at least 500 albums all in the top 50
I was looking for this comment lol
madvillainy getting snubbed is insane
It’s an overrated album
It would’ve made it if this was a top 25 rap albums list, but tbh I’m more upset about Drake being higher then the MMLP
Like that’s embarrassing
@@Boomi_Dog L take
Idk I like mmfood more
No DOOM at all is ridiculous actually
The production on Aja was revolutionary, not Steely Dan's best but certainly influential. Steely Dan is top 100 worthy for sure... no Hot Rats is also criminal.
Anthony Fantano is mad that Hood Hottest Princess by Sexxy Red isn't at least number 10 on the top 100 albums of all time and as a result is coping
The fact that there is only one non-English album on this list (and it’s Bad Bunny of all people) automatically invalidates its claim of being the “best albums of all time.”
100% agree. I was happy with his inclusion regarding its not in english, but no brazillian music album in here is insane... at least should have had Acabou Chorare or a Chico Buarque album
totally right, huge huge albums that are non-english and were/still are very influential overall (in different country) that haven't make the list.
thats bad bunny best album ever with most hits other ones not as good
yes absolutely!!! bro they put kenderick's album on number 7? and the weekend is not on the list and it's all English, i can tell you couple of albums in another language that define a whole new music style
@@theskepticcoder7883 don’t downplay Kendrick Lamar just because he’s English speaking.
That Aja disrespect was wholly unnecessary
Gorillaz should've been on like the 90s with Demon Days or Plastic Beach, fight me
No argument here, I was totally sure they would be in there somewhere but not a single mention, smh
Does my heart good to see my fellow Steely Dan fans roast Anthony for his objectively incorrect take on Aja. Man that one stung. Incredible, incredible record
Yeah, I love jojos bizare adventure
@aGVsbG8p steely Dan is the name of a character from an animated Japanese cartoon called "jojos bizzare Adventure,". in which the creator of the series bases some characters' names off some American music bands and/or artists
@@extremeprejudice0 ?
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King not making the top 100 is criminal. It’s one of the best prog rock albums ever.
One of the best albums period.
It’s not that it’s just one of the best prog records, it’s that In The Court is one of the most directly important records ever released.
@@alecl9430I’d love you to elaborate. It’s one of my top 3 albums but I feel like outside of a Kanye sample I haven’t seen where it has impacted the scene. Kind of like TPAB I just see it as a masterpiece that is hard to recreate.
I think front to back, Red is the better King Crimson album. And just like Court influenced waves and waves of prog and art rock, Red has a ton of influence on metal and post rock.
Still, Court and Red would both be worthy of being in a top 100 list.
@@sifibruh7055 insane take, what the fuck is going on in your mind
Absolutely bonkers Steely Dan take
Casually clusterbombed one of my favs 🥲
Aja is obviously a tentpole in the Yacht Rock movement (indulged only by Aja and later SD studio albums) but is sadly not even the best Steely Dan album.
As someone who loves Taylor and loves 1989… 18???? That album shouldn’t be higher than like 90 if even on the list
I love seeing someone who loves Tay, but still disagrees with the position like me. 1989 isn't top 100 for me. folklore and evermore are far better
Reputation was like 10x better as an album lol
@@Phoenix0F8no. 1989 will forever be her best mainstream pop album. i don’t think it deserved a spot so high tho.
No only that, but it's the Taylor's version of the record which is vastly inferior to the original
@@noitsbecky.4291It’s funny how opinions on Taylor’s albums are so different from whoever you ask. To me, Lover is her best Pop record by a slim margin because the concept and production interests me more than 1989 does. I also believe Lover holds the stronger tracks in her discography.
1989 is more cohesive as a whole album, but I don’t think a lot of the deep cuts on 1989 are among some of her best songs. We do have Out Of The Woods, I Know Places and Clean, but I don’t believe Welcome To New York, All You Had To Do Was Stay, This Love, or How You Get The Girl are among her best songs. Lover has The Archer, Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, Death By A Thousand Cuts, Cornelia Street, False God and Daylight.
Not getting the appeal of Aja is like not getting the appeal of food.
The fact that there was ONE non-English album on the list and it was fuсkin’ Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny.
What a joke. No Cerati or Fishmans or Buena Vista Social Club. And I don't even dislike Bad Bunny.
Bocanada is great
No charly or flaco spinetta
It’s fine if you consider it a top 100 albums in the USA. Which it is
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT. BUENO VISTA SOCIAL CLUB.
Even Brazilian albums
only metal album on the list being master of puppets is ridicilous
I thought something from Black Sabbath at top 20 was mandatory at this point, but apparently not, 🤷♂
@@michaelpalin8953 No Sabbath on this list is a crime. No Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera or Slayer either
rage against the machine self titled is on there too but yeah only 2
Should’ve have some slipknot and tool
When your 100 comes from San Fran with most contributors under 40 this is what you get
Solange made one of the best 100 albums of all time? Bewildering. I must have missed the last quarter century.
I like When I get home better
The Aja and Steely Dan slander had my jaw on the floor. Very cringe
It’s a rubbish album
A child's opinion to trash SD.
It put blonde over Marvin Gaye’s what’s going on. Like, how? What is the reasoning? There’s many other ones where it just doesn’t make sense for them to be there.
Ikr what's going on with that?
I ask what’s going on with that
Playing to the room. Why TF is Rihanna here? Why are there so many pointless, cowardly, cash grab pop albums making this list? I mean 1989 in the top 20??? Above f'n albums that dramatically changed the course of music history forever? Albums that were extraordinarily brave, personal, transcendent... Unbelievably stupid list
Does what’s going on have the nights beat switch on it???
Bruh they put 1989 over it 😭😭
WHERE THE FUCK IS DEPECHE MODE
seriously…once it got to the top twenty i thought violator had to show up but nope
@@hisgrinningskull2122 I literally had that same thought at the same point
i was literally thinking this earlier like where the heck is violator
Not even top 500
FOR FREAKING REAL‼️
Feeling like Fantano overestimates how many albums can fit into a top 25
The more I listen to music I realize that making such list is nearly impossible while being true to even yourself. There are so many classic, influential and just flawless albums spread across so many genres, that it's just hard comparing them, let alone putting on such list. The only way of making a list like this would be either splitting it into genres or make some albums share some spots on the list, maybe even put a few albums of some artist or few artists from same era on one spot as general contribution.
Like, I don't know. Back in the day I used to be curious about lists like this, back when I wanted to know what people consider as classics, but now it's just like "yeah, whatever". I can't be mad at somebody liking something over something else. Yeah, there may be some obvious duds here and there, that make a lot of people scratch their head but apart from that it's just fine.
the fact Is that this list Just Takes popular albums, not booking at the actual quality or content, Just some mainstream choices (some are obviously good),
90% sure Anthony's top 100 would've been a top 150
the fuck is that stance on The Dan
RIGHT? wtf was that
Out of nowhere
Want Anthony to shake my hand so I can counter rant about Aja
And absolutely no country music? Like I know not everyone loves country music, but there are some undeniable artists and albums there. Like no Willie Nelson? no Johnny Cash?
Yes, strange thing being a northamerican selfcentered list.
@@francoestrubia6503 Strange for an American company with mostly American subscribers to share western centric albums on their list? Were you expecting Cambodian Psychedelic rock to top their charts?
@@StormDoggI mean, it is called the "Best albums of all time" list
@@gaelbaca2958 But in the same way it's understood that the list needs to be taken in the context of the critics' opinion, it's also understood that it's taken in the context of the critics' culture.
If the critics name is Huy Yaleng and he's publishing the article to a magazine based in Phnom Penh, I'd expect Sin Sisamouth over Jefferson Starship even if it's simply titled "Best Music of All Time."
Not everything needs a qualifier. And if the audience either isn't intelligent enough to understand that or tries to be overly pedantic on a technicality, it's not the fault of the author.
You read a list put out by an American Company, don't expect any of the Polka greats from the 80's. It shouldn't need to be said, but that's not the world we live in.
@@StormDogg It's true that an unbiased opinion does not exist; it's true that trying to be objective with the mostly arbitrary rankings of such a list is mostly a waste of time, but a critic CAN try to make a list that is representative of the actual world we live in, however difficult this may be. I think it's a little misguided to rationalize that it should be "natural" or "obvious" that since the author is an (x nationality) their opinion is naturally limited to that of an (x nationality).
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but albums should be at least 10 years old to see if it stands the test of time, and not just “the latest thing”
I think I would go even further and say that any album less than 20 years old just hasn't been around long enough to have definitely stood the test of time.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 yeah honestly me too, even though there’s still great stuff coming out every year. Was just trying to avoid accusations of “boomer” haha.
Hard disagree some things are instant classics.
i don't think it's an unpopular opinion, i have a recency bias in my own music taste as i despise the notion that modern music is bad/worse than old music. but for a list like this i think at bare minimum 5 if not 10 years is needed, especially for cultural impact.
@@fisherlatham9986except 1989
Each record :
'-Should be a little bit higher.
-But Anthony, you got 150 records on your top 30...'
121 are tied for 30th place
there were only 25 in the top 30 spots.
I don’t get what Fantano wants from Steely Dan. Are there more technical Jazz Albums out there? Yes absolutely, but that’s not really the point of SD’s music. It’s supposed to have an accessible sound while also staying true to its influences. Aja has great production, great lyrics, great pacing and innovative instrumental passages. The title track in particular is amazing in that regard.
Not to mention how much variety there is in their sound from track to track on Albums like Countdown To Ecstasy and Can’t Buy A Thrill. I don’t get what makes them “bland” personally.
being named Tanner has been the biggest disappointment of my life
😂
Nina Simone at #88 to Musgraves at #85 gave me whiplash
Sheer disrespect. I think Lauryn Hill would be mad with her placement.
Reminder that according to this list, Take Care by Drake is better than anything Nina Simone did, TPAB, AND Wish You Were Here
I just want to say that my sister absolutely loves Musgraves. Pictures of her in her house, constantly playing her music, even her husband is jealous of Musgraves and hates her.
I mean I absolutely love Kacey Musgraves and Golden Hour is perfect, but nah fam. Nina Simone got flat out disrespected from this list
I genuinely don’t understand how Taylor Swift ranks significantly higher than Nina Simone unless the entire point of the list was to make people angry at it
AM right after Velvet Underground is probably the most blatant piece of rage bait I've ever seen and I still fell for it.
Piss off and get your own opinions drone. I love how no one is offended by Rihanna Anti being placed higher than BOTH.
Get your own opinions. There's way worse selections in the top 50 than AM. Rihanna Anti is ranked above both for god sake.
@@jl91iiiAM is barely a top 5 arctic monkeys album
"Get your own opinions" Bro, there's a reason everyone has this EXACT SAME opinion.....
@@jl91iiiit's just that when these dumb placements are placed one after another it looks worse
Anthony’s lack of appreciation for Steely Dan is one of his more disappointing taste deficits.
This is about the albums... and the albums weren't that great to be honest. They were supremely talented though.
He's right tho. Lmao
I see many commenters are similarly afflicted. Is there no cure?!?
Light Melon, Dark Melon, Bald Melon, Real Melon
Rich Melon, Apple Melon, Internets busiest music nerd Melon, Field Melon

Anthony you can't say 'should be higher' for most of the albums, there can't be 100 albums in the top 30
no joy division was the craziest snub to me. unknown pleasures is so prolific im shocking they forgot to include it
I was waiting for a New Order/Joy Division album, at least one.
but there's room for the fucking Strokes???
This was the big miss for me too. You can’t listen to Ian Curtis’s vocals on New Dawn Faded and not realize this is exactly what music would be doing the next 50 years.
LCD Soundsystem also a big snub.
Joy division is more t shirt than band at this point, sorry brah
A goose!! Mr. Goose, have you listened to Ma mère l'oye by Maurice Ravel? Mother Goose suite for orchestra, lovely piece, can recommend.
fantano yet again disregarding the talent of Steely Dan for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Thought this guy was meant to be a music critic. Usually critics are constructive with their arguments
He used to be constructive back in like 2010. Then by 2012, he realized he could get more views by just straight-up bashing albums. He did some of my fav albums completely wrong.
Not a single country album, unless you count Kacey.
country has a pretty narrow appeal .. no offense but its just true.. I ain't even a hater
They had Taylor Swift
@@Forbizz1989 is not a country album. It’s pure synth pop.
I’m so glad Anthony mentioned Depeche Mode and New Order’s absence. Like, with how influential it was to multiple sides of rock, electronic, and pop as a whole, I couldn’t believe that Violator wasn’t anywhere on the list…
No Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, J Dilla, Depeche Mode, Pixies, Sufjan Stevens, Smashing Pumpkins, Death Grips etc etc. What a bad list.
Violator is one of the best albums ever and that’s a fact, not an opinion. Queen, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin have 2 albums combined on this list if that’s gives you any indication of its invalidity.

This feels like a "pop" top 100 list, not in that it's all pop, but in that each album and artist was picked because of some explicit cultural moment and not based purely on its importance or influence or even creativity and best listen
i dont agree. There are some highly influential albums on this list. Something being underground can also be influential, but often will a popularity of an album reflect if it's influtenial or not. Most often older albums such as abbey road, modern music doesnt really have the same function i found
Being a Cultural Moment was part of the Criteria
Hmm but if it was based on influence, more Lana albums should be there. Skrillex should be there. More trap should be there. I don’t think they based it on influence alone.
@@meep1809 They based it on music critics influence, what they think had the most "impact" or most "value"
Huge shout out to Apple Music for putting Blonde in top 5 and not adding one of the most creative and influential albums in not just progressive rock but music in general, one of the BEST debut albums of all time, In The Court of the Crimson King.
ngl the velvet underground being right above AM was hilarious
Aja admittedly isn't my favourite work of theirs but my heart is warmed to see so much defence and support of Steely Dan in these comments. I grew up absolutely adoring them (CBAT is one of the few albums where I love every single track) but as time has gone on I've found they seem to divide opinion a fair bit. Really happy to see so much love here and feeling proud to be a Dan stan again 😊
The Dan are amongst the GOATs
:)
their albums were the first i ever owned, and i've listened to each of them hundreds to thousands of times by now. they have been the soundtrack to my life :)
Steely Dan is one of the few bands keeping me alive. I need that shit in my veins
No Roots. No MF DOOM. No Black Parade. No SOAD. No TPAB. No Weeknd. No College Dropout or Graduation. And like he said, such a huge lack of love for metal and electronic in general. The list is absurd. The albums are fine, but the exclusions are egregious.
You'd put The Weeknd on a Top 100 Albums of Alltime list? lol.
Weekend in top 100?!!!
No SOAD and MF DOOM is crazy
huge lack of jazz and punk as well
Also zero blues on it. But I understand the lack of MF Doom and the Roots for example, because the list is already VERY HEAVY on the R&B, rap and Hip Hop. I would have loved to see some love for the blues and some more actual indie. I would have expected something like Funeral to be on a list like this.
I gotta disagree with your comments on The Blueprint by Jay Z. Even as a Nas super fan, what Jay managed to do on The Blueprint was something I don't think any other artist could've done. Aiding the cultural transition of rock to rap as pops default sound and filling the power vacuum left by the 2Pac v Biggie aka West v East feuds before the South (Bling era) took over in the aughts was what The Blueprint accomplished (I mean think of the albums name, Hov was setting the "blue prints" for the culture, it was the bridge that divided the conscious hardcore rap fans of the 90's and the ignorant, dirty crunk wave that was about to hit the 00's). Even without getting too deep into what it symbolised, Jay himself sounded fresh, wasn't tacky, fostered one of the greatest artists early production (Kanye) yet kept a chip on his shoulder for what he wanted to gain, which made it still sound hungry and innovative. Even if the Takeover v Ether beef stains peoples memories of this album, The Blueprint is a flagship in hip-hop/rap history.

No Queen album? As far as popular rock and making a fuss with live performances goes they got it . From popular impactful things there was no Disco or Funk music, no Abba or Donna Summer even. Dance music really took a hit there but also as the only no English record being Un verano sin ti is a joke . If they had to go with the most influential Latino artist ... Shakira is right there. Even Motomami by Rosalia would fit better . No Edith Piaf or any album in any album in other widely spoken language is also a problem. There is no single album from Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross or 50-70 rock pop era , no Nancy Sinatra or Lesley Gore not even around 100 placement. This list is not valid

Seeing AM that high on the list sent me into a fucking frenzy
They're first album is a masterpiece and the only one you could put on a list like this.
AM bit overrated (as an Arctic Monkeys fan) but Fantano clearly hates them - "boring bland rock"? Not my favourite but there's a reason its successful
@@robertJ14 Absolutely agree, their debut is one of my favorite rock albums but even if you LIKE AM anybody can admit that it doesn't belong in a top 100 albums of all time list especially when it's placed above so many amazing albums that AM isn't even in the same league with
@@gooseteeth5455 God yes. I would maybe have their debut album in the 70-100 range of a top 100 albums (not my personal favourite albums) because of its cultural currency in UK and consistency track-to-track.
But i only go back to like 4 tracks on AM as a massive Arctic Monkeys fan and would have it nowhere near a top 100.
I don't understand the praise it gets when even Humbug and Tranquility Base were more experimental and fresh than AM lol
I struggle to understand why anybody would do a list like this. Music is too personal and too varied to not piss off everybody. Every comment in here is someone complaining about a snub and that would be the case regardless of what was on the list. It just seems like it has a huge downside and no upside from a pr perspective. Literally nobody is going to look at a list like this and not be a little mad
Yeah, no one individual's musical taste will ever line up exactly with a critics list. And there's sooo much great music in the world- an endless amount of it- that as soon as you pick out any one album and elevate it over everything else, it automatically becomes overrated.
No pixies, no elliott smith, no billy joel
No Depeche Mode wtf
Buttt buttt. You got two Beyoncé albums and a Taylor swift album !! That should make up for it right ? 🥹
@Christian-nj8di including Taylor Swift on this list is an insult to humanity. Literally a war crime.
Upvote, upvote...what?
No Daniel Johnston what the fuck
Why is Fantano acting like some placements are “low” 😭 it’s the top 100 OF ALL TIME you know how many albums there are any spot on here is high, hell any spot in the top 500 is high
Love the Corey Feldman chilling in the back. Im glad fantano is appreciating real music
We Wanted Change best song of the millenium, it sold ten Feldillion copies
I’m surprised there was no Selena. She was one of the first Spanish speaking artists to be huge in the US. She also lifted an entire genre (tejano) to the highest of highs and that genre was been stagnant since she left.
Lol
whats funny... weirdo @@RJS1974
This is gold lol
I just realized they ranked Get Rich or Die Trying above TPAB....wth
What💀 they put Kendrick’s albums like 50 levels above 5cent. How did you come to that claim? Lmaoo
@@IsaiahLeos-km9ub tpab is not on this list
@@IsaiahLeos-km9ub Which album made the top 100?
@@jbkrulegkmc
@@user-wb5ve1cm7t I don’t think that’s how this list is…..listed lol. To save room for other artists and albums, they chose only one album from each artist. Everyone knows TPAB is up there w MAAD city, so they decided to pick only one of the two to save a spot
What the f*ck was that Strokes 'Is This It' album cover? The cover with a picture of a naked behind and a hand with a black glove touching it is the true cover. I feel sorry for the US getting that album cover for one of the greatest albums ever made
I feel like if they were gonna put a kanye album on there they should've picked graduation or the college dropout. why did they pick dark and twisted fantasy? i don't know, ye has better albums
This list suggests South America, Africa and Asia collectivelly have not through the years managed to produce a single top-100 record. Not really serious work tbh
this... they can't call this list a top 100 albums of all time if they ignore most albums of all time
@@Iegoshi the entire point of having an all times list is to exclude most music ever made. do you not understand the point of a top list? asian pop music has been a shameless rip off of western pop, which is already bad

The Steely Dan slander is out of hand
Completely misses the mark with his steely Dan comments, they’re amazing
Casually clusterbombed one of my favs 🥲
Aja absolutely flawless like many of their other records. Steely Dan really doesn't miss.
And calling sgt peppers overrated like what in the world
I was getting ready to fight my screen 😂
"one of the best Jazz albums of all time" - yeah, Anthony, we all totally believe you know more than two of them. :D
Who told gringos that bad bunny was a good artist ?
Bro how did they forget the Peppa Pig album?
Seriously and it's higher that ptsd (ttpd)
I know I want the STEPPA PIG album by Peggy and Danny.
Not the name@@TTV5
*snort snort*
@@alphalax7747 I disagree
The fact that DJ Shadow Endtroducing didn't make the cut is criminal. Nothing from J Dilla or MF Doom either...
“The fact that it’s not like every list ever is criminal” have you not had enough of mf doom being on every best album list ever? I can get J Dilla deserving a spot because his music is way better than Endtroducing
Leave DOOM off it. It’s more authentic.
Oh and fam-a-lam, it’s DOOM
that steely dan take is atrocious 😂 i know it's just his opinion, but still, that was a laugh out loud moment for me
i would say he's considerably more biased than the group of people who made the list in the first place ..
how would it even be possible for all these albums to have a higher placement like 95% of them he said should be higher
The Aja disrespect is just absurd. It’s not jazz Anthony it’s yacht rock. And the golden standard at that
Let’s not get it twisted. Michael McDonald is the gold standard of yacht rock.
I stopped listening after his disrespect towards steely dan. For someone constantly talking about production as well...
@@PJTC_BLANKhe literally sings on this Steely Dan album
I prefer Royal Scam over Aja, but anyway Fantano dissing the Dan was unnecessary.
Could not be more obvious with his personal bias to hate the popular thing because it's cool to be contrarian
No 100 gecs in the top 1? You are telling me there are zero gecs in the #1 spot? Wow, what has this world come to.
You could take basically every single spot in this list and multiply it by 0 and thats how many gecs there are in that spot. Inexcusable.
Who the fuck cares??
@@flybeep1661joke has clearly flown over your head
Woke list (w take Gecs r goated)
@@newdelhiman3083
Why doesn’t this guy like Steely Dan? Though I do admit there are better album choices than Aja if they had to put one in the top 100.
In The Court isn’t my favorite King Crimson album, but leaving it out of the top 100 is genuine sacrilege
Love that 2 minutes after talking about how bland steely dan aja is he talks about how creative and inspired the de la soul album is. The main song from de la soul is a steely dan song!!
The irony of the melon
Peg!
I'm not a Steely Dan hater, but you are insane if you don't think that song is more than the Steely Dan interpolation. Also he isn't talking songs, but full albums.
@@carstenmoney920 What I found ironic about the De La Soul/Dan comparison is Melon praising the former for having so much personality, but the latter is bland. What makes Steely Dan unique *is* the personality put into it. The production is deliberately perfect & sterile, but the lyrics & delivery are very idiosyncratic
@@carstenmoney920 I didnt say that, or maybe i implied it idk. I love Eye know, its not just a steely dan interpolation but the main building block of that song was the use of that sample and with melon describing that album as so creative, yet the main element of the main song being so bland, it just strikes an odd chord that maybe his steely dan hate isnt perfectly considered
I will never understand Anthony’s aversion to Steely Dan. Any time he talks about them I just have to black it out of my mind like he never said any of that shit
Just listened to a few of their songs and I also think that slander was unnecessary. He made them sound like they are trash which is weird
I feel like whatever matrix they used to decide these put too much weight on influence and popularity and not enough on "quality" or modern listenability. For some artists I questioned why that was the album they chose when they had a better album in there discography. Yeah, many of these albums "changed the game" but this is a list of the best albums not the most influential.
Drake over The Velvet Underground And Nico, Hounds of Love and other masterpiece albums is fucking criminal
Making a list like this is just impossible. Like, your own personal taste is just never going to be included. Like now White Stripe's Elephant, Slipknot's Iowa, Megadeath's Rust in Peace, Tool's Lateralus, or any St. Vincent is insane to me, but I could for sure see others not wanting any of those here. I think Rolling Stone was wise to do a top 500.
Agreed - Though i think using terms like 'best' is the main issue.
No Simon and Garfunkel truly shocked me
Bookends is easily Top 50
Legendary stuff for sure
Unbelievable that there’s no Bridge Over Troubled Water nor Bookends.. or even Graceland
I AGREE. I would have been OK with Greatest Hits. I know its chagrin for the fans but in popular culture that album has taken a life of it's own. And I would put it in top 10. Let alone top 100.
No Simon and Garfunkel and 2 Beyonce records. Like, come on…
Completely man - BOTW is a perfect album.

@@whyisaac Yes Bob Dylan
It seems that Beyonce and Jay Z have a lot of business with Apple.
No shoegaze, barely any metal, barely any prog, no idm. Kinda ridiculous how under represented some genres are, when others like hip hop gets so many mentions. Pretty clear that apple music just gave up on trying to have a more objective list and just listed the best selling albums instead. Madvillainy was robbed too and it's especially criminal too since this list already had so many hip hop inclusions, many of which you wouldn't dream placing above it.
No Black Sabbath
I mean, you have freaking J Balvin and Pharell Williams (still understandable him, even though a bit ridicolous) as music reviewers on the list.
Indie as a whole is just snubbed from this list, pretty much 99% of these picks are major label releases, I can't help but to look at these kinds of lists as a massive music industry circle jerk
Where's King Crimson? 😢
couldn't find them
Yes, that is totally stupid. From the whole list, this one hurts me the most. They should be top 10 easy.
Bruh that's actually kind of unbelievable
What’s bs…is that if you are really going to do a greatest album list, it should have full representation…like most iconic jazz album, with the most iconic country album, followed by the most iconic rock album ect…this ends up feeling like what’s cool now, but not really painting a picture of anything really
The Steely Dan hate??? Geez... clearly, this guy does not know music.
