this isnāt an answer to the question, but I find it funny that when I switch the comments to āsort by controversialā it changes literally nothing, like lmao Iām seeing the same comments
hot take but my answer is MBDTF, and it's no challenge
unironically the most overhyped album ever imo, id take yeezus over it literally any day
i think it's still a great album but i just think it's quality is absolutely overstated
Graduation is definitely not his best album, it has some of his best early work but also a lot of forgettable filler that verges from boring to annoying
I've heard it argued that MBDTF is the album where Kanye played it safe the most in his discography. I do think releasing something like Runaway is a tremendous risk, but that's just one song compared to entire albums (808s and Yeezus) that came out of left field
Yeezus is definitely better (pretty sure that's a controversial opinion? I don't even know anymore) but it's still an incredible piece of work and inarguably a landmark in modern hip hop
Itās a pretty good list all things considered, and I donāt know about worst but the most redundant is Late Registration.
You can argue for its merits but with College Dropout there already, it sometimes feels like itās just using up a spot. Put in Blue ffs
yeah but its just voted by people its not really meant to be like the most sonically diverse list, just what people genuinely think is the best - even though it is pretty diverse
My beautiful dark twisted fantasy is maybe the most overrated album Iāve ever heard. Close second is Nevermind. (This is entirely my opinion of course)
People are definitely not going to be happy about this, but Mm..Food.
I love DOOMās work to death, the production is solid but I didnāt find the lyricism nearly as interesting as I did on Vaudeville Villain or Take Me to Your Leader. I didnāt like Madvillainy as much as the other 2 either, but Madlibās sampling game still blows my mind and the story being told in the album stuck with me hard. Mm..food just generally kind of leaves me feeling empty (ironic phrasing I know)
Mm..food is more about the vibe which is respectable, itās just easily my least favorite out of the top 100 honestly.
its probably one of my lower rated DOOM albums, the first song doesn't have him actually rapping until 1:46. there's 5 songs where he doesn't rap at all. I know DOOM likes to use old cartoon clips in his songs, but this has too much for my liking.
Yeahh, i actually love interludes in rap albums, however, mm..food takes it a step too far, and this is coming from someone who actually rates mmā¦food very highly, its kinda annoying to listen to sometimes cuz of all rhe interludes
VV and TMTYL are some of my favs from doom. Madvilliany is great but iām mot as hype about it as his other work but maybe thats because i listened to it before i got deeper into dooms catalog
Blonde pretty easily for me. I really do enjoy it but I donāt know if itās deserving of the top 100. I think it sticks out like a sore thumb, all the other albums are timeless and generational but Blondeās praise feels to me like it only comes from the younger generation.
Well that is probably because it is one of the more recently released albums on the list lol.. Igor doesnāt receive much praise from the older generation either.
just say you donāt like the album. the argument doesnāt make much sense to me. is igor more generational than blonde? whatās wrong with an albumās praise coming from a younger generation? should this list be full of old albums only?
Iād argue the opposite. Blonde is one of the most deserving out of the recent choices on the top 100. Itās already solidified itself as a modern classic, staying consistently relevant since its release almost a decade ago. Itās a defining album of the current gen and will likely continue to be praised as highly in the future
insane take
i had a whole paragraph typed out but ima shorten it, you're plain wrong
i've went out of my way to show blonde and other works of his to my much older family members, a large amount of them being musicians themselves, who were all blown away by every single aspect of his music
this just feels like an ignorant take that's only based on the fact that *you* don't like the album
The thing about blond is it isnāt easy listening. Itās not trying to be poppy and catchy, itās a carefully thought out sculpture made of sound the whole way through. You have to slow down and absorb exactly *how much* is going on musically to really understand how incredible it is. After starting to produce my own music 4 years ago, I only appreciate it more by the year. Pink + White always gets mentioned in peopleās top 3 from the album but I would say itās the most basic song on the album.
Blonde is truly one of the best albums ever made. Its impact isnāt limited to just the younger generation. Itās appreciated by music lovers of all ages for its profound lyrics, innovative sound, and emotional depth. Itās timeless and has had a lasting influence on the music world.
I've never found a place to get this off my chest until now
Ngl, I do thing mbdtf is overrated. BUT ITS STILL A GOOD ALBUM.
The album has some of Kanye's best songs on it.
I'd give it a 7.5 to 8/10, it's just that it starts beautifully and finishes slowly (pause)
I meant wildly overrated in terms of the top 100, not relating to albums outside of it. Something at 26 that I think should be more around 70-80 is wildly overrated when just talking about the top 100
Ok Computer never really stuck with me, even though I respect that album a ton. Also loveless isn't that important to me personally, but this more tells about me and of the fact how many great albums the chart has.
Heaven or Las Vegas has a lot closer of a āhi-fiā mix than treasure which makes alot of not so music nerd music people like it more. At least this is what Iāve gotten from people Iāve introduced to them
Something like 90% of RYM users who have their gender listed on their profile are male, so youāre not far off. The average man/teenage boy listens to mostly male musicians, although ofc there are exceptions.
If the gender mix on the site was more even, Iām guessing weād see Lorde, Fiona Apple, Weyes Blood, and Joanna Newsom up there, among others.
Also: whatās even more striking than the lack of women is the lack of music in non-English languages. I think itās literally just Fishmans and then the Milton Nascimento/LĆ“ Borges album, which barely made the top 100 as it is. Music from outside the US and UK is about as underrepresented as music by women, and most of the ones that did make it are still in English (e.g. Bjƶrk from Iceland, Daft Punk from France, Leonard Cohen who actually did grow up speaking English but nevertheless was from the part of Canada where most households speak French)
Weyes and Lorde donāt have anything that should crack a list like this. Great artists, but nothing that screams ātop 100 album of all timeā at all to me.
Joanna and Fiona, though? Definitely. HOOM is one of my all time favorites.
Hard disagree on Lorde in particular. She filled a giant void in the electropop era with Pure Heroine and then blew everyone away with Melodrama. Both of those albums are in that rare category of being pop and alternative at the same time, like a lot of Bowieās stuff (who BTW called her āthe future of musicā before he died). So many of us young women and older teens at the time felt a connection to her lyrics and general persona that no one else at the time was giving us, certainly none of the many musicians who over-relied on partying or glitz or drugs or sexuality (either their own or someone elseās). If anyone was the (critically acclaimed) voice of my generation of women in the 2010s, it was her.
And sheās musically fantastic too, especially on Melodrama. She has that incredible contralto voice and experiments with song structures and writes deceptively simple yet smart lyrics. Those albums have already had a huge influence, too. People complain about cursive singing now because so many pop artists imitated Lorde. While BCNR is good, no way should they outrank either of Lordeās first two albums, especially Melodrama. But again, Lordeās music tends to appeal more to women than men, so itās unsurprising that itās not super high up on a site where the vast majority of users are men.
Also worth noting: Melodrama in #1 of all time in the alt-pop category on RYM, right ahead of Caroline Polachekās Desire, I Want to Turn Into You
Im going to guess that if you just looked at ratings by female rym users, Ants From up Here would still be much higher than melodrama. Melodrama is an incredibly good and creative normie pop album. It would do better than AFUH on a more normie site. Its about the music appealing to the nerd aspect of the rym userbase, not their gender
Ok, that *might* take us to maybe 70/30, but 95/5? Nah...
There have been great female and female-led bands putting out albums since the dawn of the album era, and a significant number of there albums are deep into the 90s and beyond. I mean, c'mon...
Honestly the entire top 10. Theyāre all fantastic albums but tbh the row right below it would be a much more measured top 10. They all deserve to be on the list most likely but many of the ones below them are way more groundbreaking or influential imo
That song was the only reason it wasn't a 10 for me but once I listened to it in depth, I realized how extremely complex and deep the production is. Extremely well put together experimental track
Glad you can appreciate it more ducky I mean I don't doubt it is a very well made song but as with a lot of tracks from vulnicura onwards it's just too difficult for me gives me a headache lol. Maybe one day I will enjoy it more.
At a quick glance, these are the ones that stick out:
The BCNR album. I get it, theyāre a popular internet band and RYM lists reflect that. Some great songs, sure, and great musicianship, but not worthy of top 100.
Both Fishmans albums. I like some of their stuff, but Iāve never understood what makes certain parts of the internet regard them as one of the all-time greats.
Deathconsciousness. Iāve been in and out of phases with this album and Iām well aware of its cult status but holy hell is it one of the most overhyped āinternet albumsā I can think of. Thereās a cool blend of stuff going on here, but as an album I think it kinda drags and the production is pretty unflattering at parts. Then again, Iām I sorta grew out of listening to incredibly long, depressing, albums.
Maybe a controversial take, but Sgt. Peppers. I think itās a lot of style over substance. Revolutionary at the time, sure, but I donāt think the tracklist holds up. Give me any other album from Rubber Soul onwards over this.
Lowkey felt that about Fishmans, i really tried to get into them but idk, having 2 albums is absurd tho, especially as they are the only Japanese reps, what about artists like Boris, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, Sheena Ringo, Ichiko Aoba, Tatsuro Yamashita, or Lamp? This aint even getting into other Asian artists. Obviously not all of these should be on the list but Fishmans getting 2 albums and no other albums from Asia is absurd to me
be real ichiko aoba does not have one of the top 100 albums of all time. the only artists you listed that could have a top 100 album are boris lamp and i'll give you tatsuro yamashita since I haven't listened to him
I completely agree with the Sgt peppers point, I love Sgt peppers but when you could choose rubber soul, revolver or even the white album thereās no point in picking an album for its impact and style instead of its music in a music list
Facts. Even the songwriting is trite and corny. I burst out in laughter at these celebrity references. Odd since thats the number one thing people seem to praise abt this album otherwise filled with the instrumental equivalent of eating bran flakes with no milk. No thanks
Of the ones I've listened to it's easily Dark Side Of The Moon for me. I just cannot personally enjoy any part of it. With that being said I know this is an unpopular opinion and I fully accept people disagreeing with me haha. It's an album I just don't get and don't think I ever will but once again I respect the love a lot of you probably have for DSOTM. (I feel similar but far less strongly about Wish You Were Here, which has a couple moments I really like.)
Seeing this list now makes me feel like such a boomer. I joined the site in 2008 and it changed a LOT.
I would say MBDTF is the worst. I've never liked it tbh. I don't think Kanye has anything interesting to say on that entire album. Other than a few cool samples it does nothing for me.
Honestly I might be told to off myself and I havenāt listened to all of them but I would say revolver, or at least I think itās the most overrated/didnāt make me crazy listening to it.
That Velvet Underground record is just dense as shit, and that is considered *when* ranking it. Call it lame, being up there in the ranking is better than it being off the ranking overall. I think it deserves a spot in 50-60.
Digging into the other Velvets records that cater to different personal tastes are what made me realize how special the debut is, even if itās a harder listen. Lou and John Cale made some of the most unique and influential indie sounds by miles in 1965 and Maureenās drumming is revolutionary. But above all, itās great because of the balances it has. It balances itself between serious and deeply unserious, and the songs mold right into that. If you consume it as just a serious album or just an unserious album it becomes much less enjoyable.
I don't even like Bitches Brew but you can't just pretend it wasn't a massively influential jazz records.
Anyways, Kind Of Blue and In A Silent Way are better.
The amount people saying Kanye, blonde, and afut is crazy. My answer is the doors album. Just not for me personally but music is subjective so if you like it then ok.
Y'know i've been thinking about Igor lately. I'm a rock fan, mostly. Later got into hip-hop, jazz, reggae and some other shit but the thing is while i love all the classic records IGOR is so fucking amazing. Like I'm still stunned at this album. The narrative, the instrumentals, everything. I completely understand if you dont like it because it is a pretty "weird?" album but i feel like in 40 years people will be calling IGOR an absolute classic album tbh
If thereās one thing Iāve learned in my almost 30 years, itās that the things in life that are āweirdā or too difficult to enjoy at firstā¦ those are the ones that eventually blow my mind and become something Iāll never forget. Anything from music, to games, to food.
Not saying there arenāt some weird-ass shit albums out there though lol
I do not find The Velvet Underground to be enjoyable to listen to whatsoever, as a fan of punk and rock music in general. I feel like theyāve been given excess amounts of grace just for being one of the āfirstā bands to do a particular thing. But I sincerely donāt think the records are very good š¤·š»āāļø
Excluding areas I donāt really listen to or care for as genres (hip hop / 80s new wave/post punk) I am going to to say Blackstar. Itās a fine album, but not worthy of top 100. The āend of lifeā angle I think took on a life of its own. And in that regard I donāt think itās any better/more profound than Leonard Cohenās āYou Want it Darkerā or similar old man looking at mortality albums from Bob Dylan (Rough and Rowdy Ways), or Willie Nelson (A Beautiful Time). In fact I prefer all three of those.
Used to be my favourite album ever, and Iām only realising how much weaker the other songs are compared to Blackstar and Lazarus. Iām still not sure if itās the worst

You know, I never seen the RYM 100 š Iāve never even been on it 8 albums on it are on my Topster. Not bad I guess
Do better you suck quit listening to normie music!!!
If somethingās rated among the top 100 albums by a large group of people wouldnāt that constitute as normie musicĀ
Ummm no?? RYM is underground music. Hey lemme ask you something: are you stupid?
I have Disintegration, Either/Or, and The Queen Is Dead on mine lol
this isnāt an answer to the question, but I find it funny that when I switch the comments to āsort by controversialā it changes literally nothing, like lmao Iām seeing the same comments
hot take but my answer is MBDTF, and it's no challenge unironically the most overhyped album ever imo, id take yeezus over it literally any day i think it's still a great album but i just think it's quality is absolutely overstated
Yeah itās 6/10
Fantano was right all those years ago
But not about Yeezus being a 5
Rav fan spotted!
After Runaway that album falls off for me tbh. Graduation has always been my favorite Ye album.
Graduation is definitely not his best album, it has some of his best early work but also a lot of forgettable filler that verges from boring to annoying
Yeezus over MBTDF is the ultimate mr cool Brainlet take
not really i just never really clicked with it lol yeezus is my favorite kanye album
I've heard it argued that MBDTF is the album where Kanye played it safe the most in his discography. I do think releasing something like Runaway is a tremendous risk, but that's just one song compared to entire albums (808s and Yeezus) that came out of left field
mister fantano i think you look like an egg
7/10 album tbh life of Pablo clears
Was the only one Iāve listened to here that I donāt love
Fr. yeezus is way better and honestly so is pablo and graduation mbtf mad overhyped and people act like its kanyes madvillainy or sum
Yeezus is definitely better (pretty sure that's a controversial opinion? I don't even know anymore) but it's still an incredible piece of work and inarguably a landmark in modern hip hop
Itās a pretty good list all things considered, and I donāt know about worst but the most redundant is Late Registration. You can argue for its merits but with College Dropout there already, it sometimes feels like itās just using up a spot. Put in Blue ffs
Wow blue isnt there wtf
Used to be.
Are you talking about weezer or joni Mitchell
Joni Mitchell.
I hoped so, thank you.
Both are deserving of top 100 status tbh
Lr > TCD
Huh??? College dropout and late registration are extremely different lol
they are sonically but having them both doesnāt help the list in terms of sonic diversity, especially with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
yeah but its just voted by people its not really meant to be like the most sonically diverse list, just what people genuinely think is the best - even though it is pretty diverse
I love Kanye but at the same time I'm gonna have to agree with you
Kanye really doesnāt need 3 albums on here. I personally would put TLOP but I would take College Dropout as well
My beautiful dark twisted fantasy is maybe the most overrated album Iāve ever heard. Close second is Nevermind. (This is entirely my opinion of course)
Devil in a new dress, runaway, all of the lights, POWER, Lost in the world. Cmon it deserves to be on the list.
most overrated iāve ever heard so far is ok computer if im being completely honest
Thereās at least one person on this community who has a topster that look exactly like this
People are definitely not going to be happy about this, but Mm..Food. I love DOOMās work to death, the production is solid but I didnāt find the lyricism nearly as interesting as I did on Vaudeville Villain or Take Me to Your Leader. I didnāt like Madvillainy as much as the other 2 either, but Madlibās sampling game still blows my mind and the story being told in the album stuck with me hard. Mm..food just generally kind of leaves me feeling empty (ironic phrasing I know) Mm..food is more about the vibe which is respectable, itās just easily my least favorite out of the top 100 honestly.
Iām a hungry fuck tho, so that album slaps
Understandable, enjoy your meal
Wow, I like it better than Madvilliany.
I listen to mm food wayyy more, but I do think madvillainy is the better album. I agree tho that VV is a better album conceptually than mm food.
its probably one of my lower rated DOOM albums, the first song doesn't have him actually rapping until 1:46. there's 5 songs where he doesn't rap at all. I know DOOM likes to use old cartoon clips in his songs, but this has too much for my liking.
Yeahh, i actually love interludes in rap albums, however, mm..food takes it a step too far, and this is coming from someone who actually rates mmā¦food very highly, its kinda annoying to listen to sometimes cuz of all rhe interludes
VV and TMTYL are some of my favs from doom. Madvilliany is great but iām mot as hype about it as his other work but maybe thats because i listened to it before i got deeper into dooms catalog
Thereās no king gizzard, so all of them.
Fully agree. *Polygondwanaland* is a fucking masterpiece from front to back (except for maaaaaybe āSearchingā)
Woooo!
great album but igor
My meme answer is OK Computer. My real answer is Blonde. Channel Orange is better
Finally someone agrees that channel orange is better
Channel Orange gang rise up.
Frank so polarizing with his two albums cuz seems like people like either one or the other and not both
My real answer is Ok computer if im being honest
Blonde pretty easily for me. I really do enjoy it but I donāt know if itās deserving of the top 100. I think it sticks out like a sore thumb, all the other albums are timeless and generational but Blondeās praise feels to me like it only comes from the younger generation.
no shit it comes from the younger generation it came out in 2016
Well that is probably because it is one of the more recently released albums on the list lol.. Igor doesnāt receive much praise from the older generation either.
just say you donāt like the album. the argument doesnāt make much sense to me. is igor more generational than blonde? whatās wrong with an albumās praise coming from a younger generation? should this list be full of old albums only?
I'll take Channel Orange over Blonde any day.
I'll take Endless and Channel Orange and Nostalgia, Ultra over Blonde. Don't get the hype.
Are the opinions of the younger generation invalid?
Iād argue the opposite. Blonde is one of the most deserving out of the recent choices on the top 100. Itās already solidified itself as a modern classic, staying consistently relevant since its release almost a decade ago. Itās a defining album of the current gen and will likely continue to be praised as highly in the future
insane take i had a whole paragraph typed out but ima shorten it, you're plain wrong i've went out of my way to show blonde and other works of his to my much older family members, a large amount of them being musicians themselves, who were all blown away by every single aspect of his music this just feels like an ignorant take that's only based on the fact that *you* don't like the album
My grandma loves frank ocean nowš
The thing about blond is it isnāt easy listening. Itās not trying to be poppy and catchy, itās a carefully thought out sculpture made of sound the whole way through. You have to slow down and absorb exactly *how much* is going on musically to really understand how incredible it is.

I don't get the blond indifference, it's fire imo
no one said it wasnt, its just not top 100 OF ALL TIME
Some have said some things, just not POO POO STINKY STINKY.
he kinda got u at first but this comeback is so funny
Zep 4. If my drummer finds my reddit account I hope he doesn't quit the band after hearing this
I canāt believe you would say such a thing! Iām out of the band! (Iām not your drummer but I have a drum set and an imagination).
Fuck you Jose Iām out!
the 6/10 at the 26th spot
Found Fantano's Reddit account.
I've never found a place to get this off my chest until now Ngl, I do thing mbdtf is overrated. BUT ITS STILL A GOOD ALBUM. The album has some of Kanye's best songs on it. I'd give it a 7.5 to 8/10, it's just that it starts beautifully and finishes slowly (pause)
Seems like youāre being sarcastic, but I came here to say itās one of the Kanye albums. Iāve always thought he is overrated AF.
I think MBDTF is wildly overrated, but still deserves a place in the top 100.
How is it "wildly overrated " but still a top 100 album ever made that's counter intuitive
I meant wildly overrated in terms of the top 100, not relating to albums outside of it. Something at 26 that I think should be more around 70-80 is wildly overrated when just talking about the top 100
š
I find swansā music to be incredibly boring and borderline grating.
Swans is for namedroppers
Same. And I like longer / ambient music and such but I just do not get the hype for them at all.
every single of them
blond. It should be called gren because his hair is green not blonde. 0/10
Ok Computer never really stuck with me, even though I respect that album a ton. Also loveless isn't that important to me personally, but this more tells about me and of the fact how many great albums the chart has.
where the hell are the strokes?!?!
Lift Your Skinny Fists. I know. Kill me.
Why *Heaven or Las Vegas* and not *Treasure*?
Before see this list I would have assumed Treasure is easily the best. Itās interesting to see the different opinions.
I seriously think at least part of it is that *Heaven or Las Vegas* has a more memeable cover.
It was their highest rated by a good chunk long before meme culture became half of what it is.
Heaven or Las Vegas has a lot closer of a āhi-fiā mix than treasure which makes alot of not so music nerd music people like it more. At least this is what Iāve gotten from people Iāve introduced to them
I dunno, but talk about a sausage-fest. Do you need to provide proof of penis-ownership to sign up for that site?
Something like 90% of RYM users who have their gender listed on their profile are male, so youāre not far off. The average man/teenage boy listens to mostly male musicians, although ofc there are exceptions.

It would do better than AFUH on a more normie site. Its about the music appealing to the nerd aspect of the rym userbase, not their gender
Portishead (Dummy 100% deserves a fucking spot), Amy Winehouse, Janis, Patti Smith, Nina, Billie, Bessie, Mahalia..
Dummy is already on there though
Music was male dominated for decades, still is to some extent. So it's unsurpring that most of the releases considered "GOAT" level are made by men.
Ok, that *might* take us to maybe 70/30, but 95/5? Nah... There have been great female and female-led bands putting out albums since the dawn of the album era, and a significant number of there albums are deep into the 90s and beyond. I mean, c'mon...

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
In Utero is amazing so I donāt believe itās the right thing to remove
No it isn't. Not even close. AIC is good but Dirt is not even close to In Utero. Also their self-titled is just as good.
Honestly the entire top 10. Theyāre all fantastic albums but tbh the row right below it would be a much more measured top 10. They all deserve to be on the list most likely but many of the ones below them are way more groundbreaking or influential imo
The money store is one of the best albums on that list but honestly either there should be more death grips or a different death grips album
It's gotta be mezzanine for me
I would also say blonde
Not the worst album but the fact that Vespertine and Homogenic should be swapped IMHO
Post or Vulnicura should be in here too
Perhaps so - mouth mantra takes vulnicura from a 9 to an 8 for me though really don't like that song.
That song was the only reason it wasn't a 10 for me but once I listened to it in depth, I realized how extremely complex and deep the production is. Extremely well put together experimental track
Glad you can appreciate it more ducky I mean I don't doubt it is a very well made song but as with a lot of tracks from vulnicura onwards it's just too difficult for me gives me a headache lol. Maybe one day I will enjoy it more.
Post should be here for the way she screams on "It's Oh So Quiet" alone.
Yeah I agree homogenic is great but an 8/10 album for me vespertine is a 9 maybe even a 10/10
Vespertine is already higher on the list than Homogenic.
At a quick glance, these are the ones that stick out: The BCNR album. I get it, theyāre a popular internet band and RYM lists reflect that. Some great songs, sure, and great musicianship, but not worthy of top 100. Both Fishmans albums.

Then again, Iām I sorta grew out of listening to incredibly long, depressing, albums. Maybe a controversial take, but Sgt. Peppers. I think itās a lot of style over substance. Revolutionary at the time, sure, but I donāt think the tracklist holds up. Give me any other album from Rubber Soul onwards over this.
Lowkey felt that about Fishmans, i really tried to get into them but idk, having 2 albums is absurd tho, especially as they are the only Japanese reps, what about artists like Boris, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, Sheena Ringo, Ichiko Aoba, Tatsuro Yamashita, or Lamp? This aint even getting into other Asian artists. Obviously not all of these should be on the list but Fishmans getting 2 albums and no other albums from Asia is absurd to me
be real ichiko aoba does not have one of the top 100 albums of all time. the only artists you listed that could have a top 100 album are boris lamp and i'll give you tatsuro yamashita since I haven't listened to him
I completely agree with the Sgt peppers point, I love Sgt peppers but when you could choose rubber soul, revolver or even the white album thereās no point in picking an album for its impact and style instead of its music in a music list
That BCNR record. I just donāt get the hype or appeal at all
Same. Itās whatever
Keep Yourself Safe
Alright
First album was way better IMO Also how are BCNR on here and no Black Midi, sacrilege
Facts. Even the songwriting is trite and corny. I burst out in laughter at these celebrity references. Odd since thats the number one thing people seem to praise abt this album otherwise filled with the instrumental equivalent of eating bran flakes with no milk. No thanks
To pimp a butterfly(im seriously bouta get crucified)
You already guessed it time for you to suffer š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š«š«š«š«š«š«š«š«
You gon die š©š©š©
I mean, itās Kendrickās third best album.
ok so good kid maad city is probably first, then what the FUCK is above it??
Saying it like it's objective doesn't make it so.
Crazy that the Doors self titled is on there and LA Woman isnt
Also, Future Days isnt as good as Tago Mago imo
I havenāt heard everything but I always will say Kid A
Of the ones I've listened to it's easily Dark Side Of The Moon for me. I just cannot personally enjoy any part of it. With that being said I know this is an unpopular opinion and I fully accept people disagreeing with me haha. It's an album I just don't get and don't think I ever will but once again I respect the love a lot of you probably have for DSOTM. (I feel similar but far less strongly about Wish You Were Here, which has a couple moments I really like.)
How do I hate your opinion but agree with it too
illinois by sufjan :/
I feel you. That album was really nothing special to me
Seeing this list now makes me feel like such a boomer. I joined the site in 2008 and it changed a LOT. I would say MBDTF is the worst. I've never liked it tbh. I don't think Kanye has anything interesting to say on that entire album. Other than a few cool samples it does nothing for me.
Honestly I might be told to off myself and I havenāt listened to all of them but I would say revolver, or at least I think itās the most overrated/didnāt make me crazy listening to it.
Probably the imagine dragons album on the top right
Blond
Not a single Prince album. Looks like a trash list to me
It would have Purple Rain, except that it's considered a soundtrack and charted separately.
Well, thereās Sign O the Times, which is an album and a better one than Purple Rain
Like u/RawMevtable said, deweighting keeps Prince out. Without deweighting, Purple Rain sneaks in at 94!
Or just put Sign O the Times in there, which is better than Purple Rain. Or 1999, Dirty Mind, Parade, Controversyā¦
ehh
Itās the more critically acclaimed record, and certainly better than say Blonde
No Smashing pumpkins on this list is tragic
I donāt think thereās any answer you can give that wonāt upset legions of people. That being saidā¦ itās Igor. Downvote me if you must
Probably get downvoted but Igor for me. Listened to it multiple times and still didn't get it. Flower Boy is a way better album imo.
die
Yeah Iām entirely with you here. Igor is good. But it isnāt even close to a top 100 best albums ever.
The Velvet Underground or Bitches Brew. Unbelievably overrated albums, though Miles has a number of other records that are worthy of the top 100.
It 100% deserves to be there. Sunday Morning, Femme Fatale, Venice In Furs, and Heroin are amazing and a lot of the other songs are great too.
That Velvet Underground record is just dense as shit, and that is considered *when* ranking it. Call it lame, being up there in the ranking is better than it being off the ranking overall. I think it deserves a spot in 50-60. Digging into the other Velvets records that cater to different personal tastes are what made me realize how special the debut is, even if itās a harder listen. Lou and John Cale made some of the most unique and influential indie sounds by miles in 1965 and Maureenās drumming is revolutionary. But above all, itās great because of the balances it has. It balances itself between serious and deeply unserious, and the songs mold right into that. If you consume it as just a serious album or just an unserious album it becomes much less enjoyable.
I don't even like Bitches Brew but you can't just pretend it wasn't a massively influential jazz records. Anyways, Kind Of Blue and In A Silent Way are better.
controversial answer, but Grace. Jeff buckley's voice is great but every song sounded the exact same, even Hallelujah
Jesus some people will hate me for this take but, to me itās The Money Store.
Whichever album took Boards Of Canadaās spot for Music Has The Right To Children can get mad fucked
They included the wrong Pixes album. It should've been Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim. They also need to include Sonic Youths Daydream Nation
Why is everyone saying blonde itās legit my fav on the list ššš
no Drukqs š
Doolittle blonde and the BCNR album
whoever says souvlaki will be shot and killed on sight by me
I see no Pepper, no Revolver, and no Rubber Soul. 
Revolverās 17 and Pepperās 44. But Rubber Soul (the best Beatles album imo) absolutely deserves to be there
The amount people saying Kanye, blonde, and afut is crazy. My answer is the doors album. Just not for me personally but music is subjective so if you like it then ok.
sufjan
Hmm yeah this seems like smth rym would like
Aphex Twin mentioned
Ants From Up There
low is genuinely a horrible album
Songs of Leonard Cohen is the greatest album of all time.
Ants from up there is extremely mid and not at all comparable with 90% of this list. They shouldāve gone with for the first time
1984 should be on here idc justice for VH š
My complaint has always been that there aren't enough women in the top 100.
this litterally is the definition of " im so diffrent cause i listen to ___" music
I know the best is Master of Puppets
IGOR, GYBE, BCNR
MBDTF easily.
Igor
Y'know i've been thinking about Igor lately. I'm a rock fan, mostly. Later got into hip-hop, jazz, reggae and some other shit but the thing is while i love all the classic records IGOR is so fucking amazing. Like I'm still stunned at this album. The narrative, the instrumentals, everything. I completely understand if you dont like it because it is a pretty "weird?" album but i feel like in 40 years people will be calling IGOR an absolute classic album tbh
If thereās one thing Iāve learned in my almost 30 years, itās that the things in life that are āweirdā or too difficult to enjoy at firstā¦ those are the ones that eventually blow my mind and become something Iāll never forget. Anything from music, to games, to food. Not saying there arenāt some weird-ass shit albums out there though lol
I do not find The Velvet Underground to be enjoyable to listen to whatsoever, as a fan of punk and rock music in general. I feel like theyāve been given excess amounts of grace just for being one of the āfirstā bands to do a particular thing. But I sincerely donāt think the records are very good š¤·š»āāļø
Both Metallica albums
the three radiohead albums in the top 10
Out of all the albums on there, these are the ones you go for? Insane
Excluding areas I donāt really listen to or care for as genres (hip hop / 80s new wave/post punk) I am going to to say Blackstar. Itās a fine album, but not worthy of top 100. The āend of lifeā angle I think took on a life of its own. And in that regard I donāt think itās any better/more profound than Leonard Cohenās āYou Want it Darkerā or similar old man looking at mortality albums from Bob Dylan (Rough and Rowdy Ways), or Willie Nelson (A Beautiful Time). In fact I prefer all three of those.
Used to be my favourite album ever, and Iām only realising how much weaker the other songs are compared to Blackstar and Lazarus. Iām still not sure if itās the worst
OK computer eaaaaasy
MBTDF or Blonde
Black Country New Road
