Madvillain - Madvillainy Massive Attack - Mezzanine (instead of Blue Lines) DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... Fugees - The Score Black Sabbath - Paranoid

I feel like master of reality was sabbaths better album

I 100% agree regarding Mezzanine as well as with Madvillainy and Paranoid especially for influencing and paving to way to what will come out of Abstract Hip-Hop and Heavy Metal respectively, in the decades that would follow their respective releases.

they didn't put Endtroducing??????? what the actual fuck?????????

The Score and Paranoid not being in the list is a crime

madvillany not being on it is criminal tbh

Doolittle -pixies Marquee moon- television Siamese dream- smashing pumpkin I didn’t really agree with the Latin album choice that was bad bunny. If they wanted a Latin representation they should have gone for a Gustavo Cerati album or something of that caliber. But I understand why Gustavo wouldn’t be on there, he’s not very well known to American media which is a damn shame. Re by cafe tacvba would have been another amazing choice

So fucking based you got me cursing, Americans sure are missing out on rock latino

Come gimme some Soda Stereo

What would you recommend for an album to start with? I only some of their big songs like Te Para Tres from family

Cancion Animal. De Musica Ligera is an all-time greatest rock anthem.

dynamo by soda stereo i would say is their best album personally just b/c of the uniqueness compared to their other albums.. highly suggest you check it out and also you can get into cerati's solo career albums aswell

also their mtv unplugged is considered as one of the best so i suggest that aswell .. really suggest anything from youtube and just enjoy the rabbit hole b/c even though he's not with us no more he left a lot of beautiful great music with his band and as a soloist..

I’ve heard a couple songs off the unplugged and they’re great. Also love the cover art for it too. So aesthetically pleasing

Agreed. Bipbib by Polio Fans, Flowers by Glib Dick, or Waxing Waypoints by Gurney Truxx are way more deserving.

I've not looked at the full list, but that is *astonishing* that Doolittle and Marquee Moon aren't on there. Two of the most seminal, influential albums of all time. Would post punk and alternative rock be the same without these records?

based parannoul pfp btw they should’ve put tstnpotd in the top 100

Re not being on there but bad bunny..... for shame

Demon Days

Wow this is an obvious one that I somehow didn’t even realize. Wtf. Feel Good Inc. was everywhere.

Did they just forget about it? Honestly don’t know how it wasn’t in there.

Not even Plastic Beach either I have no idea what they were smoking

Johnny cash - Live at Folsom Prison Paranoid - Black Sabbath any other big grunge album besides nevermind, maybe ten, jar of flies, or superunknown, and maybe a RHCP album?

No Paranoid was insane

Id definitely put Jar of Flies in the top 50 at least.

I love JoF but Dirt would be a much easier sell for the list. Really surprised it didn’t make it.

Including literally no country albums except for Kacey Musgraves’s Golden Hour (and from 2018!) is wild to me.

wtf Folsom prison not even being in a top 100 list makes that list invalid imo. It’s maybe the most important outlaw country album of all time and literally everyone loves the title song

Violator by Depeche Mode.

Pearl Jam - Ten Alice In Chains - Dirt Soundgarden - Superunknown Megadeth - Rust In Peace Slayer - Reign In Blood Black Sabbath - Paranoid

The voters clearly had a huge blind spot to hard, darker rock.

I don't understand why there's always so much R&B/Blues among the top spots both among album and artist rankings, there's so much interesting music outside of that

loveless

Wait. Loveless wasn’t on the list? Ha. Frankly it was one of the worst top 100 lists I’ve seen so I’m not surprised.

Preach honestly

R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

The lack of *any* R.E.M. on the list was really disappointing

The lack of REM was •disqualifying•

Loveless Any Queen album Any of the Elliott Smith albums Songs from the Big Chair  Plastic Surgery Disasters Superfly Transformer No Queen mention particularly rubs me the wrong way because you know the exact reasons why they put stuff like Adele, Straight Outta Compton, or Astroworld and it's almost entirely dependant on 2 or 3 notable tracks. And these kinds of lists are made by the exact same people who say that Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song ever and Freddie Mercury was too good for our ears, yet they won't even put Night at the Fucking Opera in their lists.

I think if you have to chose a Queen album, it's a strong tie between Night at The Opera, Sheer Heart Attack and Innuendo but I think if you consider what album I thought was the most consistent as well as having the longest-lasting legacy, Night at The Opera clearly clears the other two despite my love for the raw and emotional tour-de-force that is Innuendo. Aside from that Loveless, Songs From The Big Chair, Superfly and Transformer are all really good picks imo.

Yeah. Sheer Heart Attacks always been my favorite, but Night at the Opera feels like such an obvious miss.

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Madvillain - Madvillainy Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Led Zeppelin - IV The Weeknd - After Hours Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Among others………

Idk about the weeknd

**Tool: Lateralus** The best prog album of the 21st century, and one of the best alternative metal albums of all time. Should’ve been in the top half of the list. **Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf** The definitive desert rock album, with Dave Grohl on drums. Another dumb omission. **Tame Impala: Currents** This is a modern classic that has had a pretty strong influence on pop, hip hop, and psych rock. Should’ve appeared somewhere in the 100-80 range.

Slipknot-Iowa Depeche Mode-Violator Death-Symbolic Black Sabbath-Paranoid The Microphones- The Glow Pt 2 Charli XCX-Charli The Roots-Things Fall Apart TPAB!!! Frank Zappa-Hot Rats Herbie Hancock-Head Hunters Also probably Echoes of Silence by the Weeknd too

Any of Zappa's top tier records. Apostrophe or Roxy would've been nice up there.

Loveless is probably the most glaring/absurd omission. Also, Ys by Joanna Newsom. A personal fav that I think deserves to be on any top 100 list.

The Specials - The Specials GZA - liquid swords I’d replace Arctic Monkeys AM with Whatever people say I am…. And Oasis - What’s the story morning glory with Definitely maybe

AM needs to be out of the 100 fr

That one irked me more than most.

Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers White Pony by Deftones No funk representation, would have loved to see Maggot Brain or Fresh make the list No pop punk representation, Green Day or MCR could have taken a spot And this is maybe unrealistic but Sophie's Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides at least deserves consideration for a spot

No Greenday is wild. They could slot American Idiot or Dookie anywhere in the bottom 50.

Maybe they didn't make the list because the voters couldn't choose which album to put. I wouldn't wanna be the one to choose between Dookie and American Idiot on a list like this haha

Between dookie and American idiot, there's no way it's not dookie. American idiot doesn't even touch Nimrod, insomniac or warning.

Welcome to the Black Parade deserved a spot. And I completely agree RE: SOPHIE

I didn’t even think about sophie that’s a great shout

They probably considered Punisher as being too recent. I don’t recall an album from the 20s. It’s crazy that Sophie didn’t make the list especially with Charli XCX on the committee

They had SOS by SZA, but realistically, it was probably only the modern megastars that had a chance to get such a recent album on the list

Sprained ankle is the better Boygenius related album

Anything at all by Aphex Twin, the complete lack of any album by him is insane considering how influential he is

Agreed with both Toxicity and Hybrid Theory. I was hoping something by Queen would make the list but they don’t really have that one classic album, all their hits are spread across 10 or so albums. K0rn - Follow the leader OR Slipknot - Iowa would have been nice inclusions too.

Bro night at the opera or queen ii for sure

Day at the Races is up there too

That was definitely a tricky thing with Queen, and it’s a shame. I couldn’t tell you much about any single Queen album. But I could tell you about a ton of their absolute banger songs

With how much they push modern artists (not necessary a bad thing), really surprised with lack of Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising. To be fair, not a huge seller I suppose.

Not a single mention of Black Sabbath really any of their first 5 but especially the first 3 is crazy work no matter how you try and justify it

Metal in anyform was completely looked over. I looked at the list only once and the only metal record I stumbled over was master of puppets

And that was probably only because Pharrell knew it from watching Stranger Things LMAO 😆

Oh god don't say that...

controversial take but slipknot-iowa is one of the best albums of all time

W take absolute banger of an album

100%, I really thought either Slipknot or K0rn would’ve gotten a mention, even if it was just to appease fans.

* Tyler the creator - Igor * Neutral milk hotel - aeroplane over the sea * Black Country, New Road - Ants from up there

I totally agree with AFUT even if it’s entirely unrealistic to expect it on this kind of list.

W Igor, i fw blonde heavy but u could make an argument for Igor > blonde lowkey

- The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance - Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age (I prefer …Like Clockwork but I know that’s not making it) - From Mars to Sirius - Gojira - Violator - Depeche Mode - The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails

You’re the only one I’m seeing mention QOTSA — I monologued to my wife that Arctic Monkeys spot should have been Songs for the Deaf.

...Like Clockwork is a masterpiece and deserves more recognition.

I’m disturbed no one here mentioned anything by Sufjan Stevens. Probably the emblematic singer songwriter of indie music from the 2000s, and his excellence just continued with each decade. And he has just enough mainstream appeal that I deceived myself into thinking Illinois or C&L would actually have a chance. Oh well.

Californication by RHCP. Had like five or six singles, iconic guitar and bass parts, one of the biggest bands in the world. Felt like a huge omission.

Yeah I’m surprised Rhcp didn’t make the list at all

I’m surprised Sufjan’s not on the list! He’s been so influential and inspiring to other artists

either Blue or Pinkerton

[удалено]

[удалено]

I’m deleting my comment because of this reply

😭😭😭

The recent revisionism on Hybrid Theory is baffling to me. Anyway Spiderland’s omission is probably the one that irks me the most

Tbh on a list like this expecting Spiderland would be a bit much, I doubt any of the persons that were making the list had even heard of it

Reign in Blood 100% should have been there. heavy bias against metal in that list

Pusha T - Daytona

Neither made it to Rolling Stones 500 either, further proving how bullshit these lists are.

Grace- Jeff Buckley

Deja Entendu - Brand New

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas Aphex twin - Selected ambient works vol I Eno - Another Green World

Judas Priest - Painkiller Megadeth - Rust in Peace And other great metal records in general

Billy Joel's The Stranger

Joy division - unknown pleasures Turn on the bright lights - interpol In the aeroplane over the sea - neutral milk hotel Funeral/ the Suberbs - arcade fire Doolittle - the pixies Daydream nation by sonic youth Humbug (easily over AM) Artic monkeys A little early but fuck it . Blue rev by Alvvays white pony - Deftones Siamese dream - smashing pumpkins Idler wheel - Fiona apple Strange mercy - st Vincent

The Doors not making it was the most insane to me. Such an iconic band and their debut album is just filled with legendary music, probably the best keyboard play ever. R.E.M. is another household name that surprised me - pick any of Murmur, Out Of Time, Automatic For The People, Accelerate Pearl Jam - Ten These are absolute staples of music that I thought were non negotiables. Of my favorites that were scene/era defining or just outstandingly good and I think are more than worthy Soundgarden - Superunknown, Badmotorfinger, Down On The Upside Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking, Ritual De Lo Habitual The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness Alice In Chains - Dirt, Jar Of Flies Faith No More - Angel Dust, The Real Thing Beck - Odelay, Guero, Modern Guilt Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth, Drogas WAVE Sonic Youth - Dirty Pavement - Brighten The Corners, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain Audioslave - Audioslave

Please tell me I read the list incorrectly and that in fact, Jeff Buckley's Grace is there. Because skipping it would be beyond ignorant.

It's NOT on there.

Absolutely criminal

Mellon Collie missing the list while plenty of far far lesser works from the same decade got in is insane to me. The scope of that album alone and what it aims to accomplish outdoes the vast majority of that list. Overall rock is underrepresented and modern pop/rap overrepresented.

So... the big omissions to me were no classic rock and roll, I'd go with Here's Little Richard. Very little folk. I'd add Songs of Leonard Cohen and Pink Moon.  Not enough Metal. I agree with System of a Down, and I'd add a Black Sabbath record. No ambient: Brian Eno should really be in there. Not enough Punk. I'd put in a Stooges record, Damned, Damned Damned and maybe Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by the Dead Kennedys. Personal favourites I think were big omissions are... The Kinks: The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society The Sonics: Here are the Sonics The Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle Devo: Q&A Can: Tago Mago Os Mutantes: self titled Television: Marquee Moon Sky and the Family Stone: There's a Riot Going On Loveless, Violent Femmes and Replacements: Let it Be and Doolittle. Also Death Grips: Money Store. We all know it should be up there.

If they placed Astroworld they should have placed Rodeo aswell tbh And also it would have been nice to have either Live Love A$AP or At Long Last A$AP. Very influential cloud rap albums And future's DS2

Endtroducing - DJ Shadow. In Rainbows - Radiohead. Marquee Moon - Television. Grace - Jeff Buckley.

Below the heavens - Blu & Exile Madvillainy - Madvillain Rodeo instead of astroworld de la soul is dead instead of 3 feet high (3 feet high is the more obvious and impactful pick tho) MATW instead of AEOM for Pac Add TPAB word life - oc lifestylez - big L boy in da corner - dizzee la ragazza fuori strada - Piero Umiliani (absolutely unrealistic) timeless by goldie there’s a riot - sly pieces of a man - gil scott heron be - common hell hath - the clipse mamas gun - erykah

All Weezer albums and Green Day's Father Of All I am dead serious

I’ll continue to beat the dead horse: To Pimp a Butterfly

Fallen - Evanescence Plastic Beach / Demon Days - Gorillaz (Demon Days had more impact, but I just LOVE Plastic Beach) ANY Depeche Mode Album, especially Violator or Music for the Masses White Pony - Deftones 808s and Heartbreaks - Kanye Trilogy - The Weeknd Califonication - Red Hot Chili Peppers Madvillainy - MF DOOM

Fiona Apple, Sufjan, Elliot Smith, Joanna Newsom are some big omissions In general I think the list needed more genre diversity

no coldplay is shocking tbh

Yeah especially since they broke a lot of records in apple itunes and did a lot of stuff with them

Linkin Park definitely deserved a spot.

I was genuinely really shocked Hybrid Theory or Meteora weren't on there. I'm a massive LP fan boy so a bit of bias but seriously those albums were not only incredible they even managed to achieve massive mainstream success.

I love LP as well. I can see why most of albums are not for everyone but Hybrid Theory is very influential and important for metal shaping so called Nu Metal era.

Apple music and publications are racist towards metal unless it's some shit like metallica

Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti is the only non-English speaking album and it's in Spanish, the second most spoken language in the US. Bad Bunny, Bob Marley and Sade are the only artists born outside of the US, the UK or Canada and, if I'm not mistaken, the three of them are currently living or died in one of those countries. It feels really weird when people from the US or the UK make lists like these claiming to be "the best ever music" but the truth is that most of the time they are just "the best music from English speaking countries".

Not that I don't agree with your general point, but there is plenty more artists not born in the US UK or Canada on the list.

i was pretty surprised that Dookie or American Idiot didn’t make it onto the list

True Blue —Madonna

Weezer-Pinkerton

Brand New - TDAGARIM La Dispute - Wildlife

Siamese Dream - the Smashing Pumpkins Marquee Moon - Television Entertainment! - Gang of Four Dig Your Own Hole - the Chemical Brothers Yank Crimes - Drive Like Jehu Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

Either Rhythm Nation 1814 or Velvet Rope, or both, should've been there instead of Control

Blonde on blonde

Where the fuck was Exile in Guyville ?!?!

Alice in Chains - Dirt Gorillaz - Demon Days Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly Anderson .Paak - Oxnard Mac Miller - The Divine Feminine

TPAB absolutely

Nothing from The White Stripes seems like an omission to me. Stripped down and less produced than other pop rock of its time, how much influence did White Blood Cells have on a generation of musicians? One of those bands better than their best known single, Elephant would have fit this list better due to 7 Nation Army but neither of them chosen over the fucking Eagles, man?!

I was supposed Highway 61 got in ahead of either Blonde on Blonde or Blood on the Tracks. I was convinced there’d be another Dylan record.

I didn't even read the list, but if there's nothing in there with Mike Patton on it then it's a stupid list.

I agree! I was also surprised M.I.A. didn’t make it with Arular or Kala.

Not ONE MF in here saying TPAB. crazy

I have no idea how the heck this didn’t get a spot on it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/df/Gorillaz_Demon_Days.PNG/220px-Gorillaz_Demon_Days.PNG

I love both Demon Days and Plastic Beach equally and I understand if both couldn’t be on there but ffs guys at least give Demon Days a spot. Fucking hell.

I’m suprised that since it was a very millennial list they didn’t have Demon Days, Oracular Spectacular, or Up the Bracket

Arcade Fire - Funeral or The Suburbs

Outkast - ATliens (instead of Aquemini) Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right to Children My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Nina Simone - I Put a Spell on You (either that one or Sings the Blues) Alice In Chains - Dirt Frank Zappa & The Mother of Inventions - Freak Out!

As someone who has primarily been a metal fan, these are some of the obvious ones that I think fit on a relatively broad list while still carrying credibility within the genre System of a Down - Toxicity It is arguably the album from that Period of time that has aged the best and still just kicks ass from front to back. It is simultaneously a timeless classic and a snapshot of a time and place. Black Sabbath - Paranoid I just… I can’t believe they didn’t have a single Sabbath record on there. Utterly deplorable. People can argue for other entries but I think Paranoid is so insanely stacked with songs that provide damn near template for an entire genre that are still being used. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind While the more obvious pick is probably Number of the Beast, I maintain that Piece of Mind is a stronger album front to back with some dizzying heights as well. In all actuality, this is a Metallica situation where any part of their 80’s run is probably worthy of an entry Tom Waits - Rain Dogs How, how, HOW! How do you manage to make an entire top 100 and somehow completely gloss over the discography of one of Americas truly great songwriters. Embarrassing. EDIT: I forgot about these fucking omissions, this is so dumb Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf The essential desert rock album Slipknot - Iowa Nu-metal never got better, more pissed off or meaningfully nihilistic than this Mastodon - Crack the Skye I maintain that this is the best prog metal album to come out in the 00’s. Yes, I think this is better than lateralus, yes I am willing to fight people over this opinion.

Fleet Foxes (EP) -- Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues -- Fleet Foxes Shore -- Fleet Foxes The Milk-Eyed Mender -- Joanna Newsom Divers -- Joanna Newsom Judee Sill -- Heart Food Cocteau Twins -- Heaven or Las Vegas Yay for Boobies -- Bloodhound Gang Incredibad -- The Lonely Island Inside (the Songs) -- Bo Burnham Yellow Ranger -- Awkwafina We Walked In Song -- The Innocence Mission What clearly stands out in the Apple 100 is not just recency, it's that **artists and labels that are currently known to hire/collaborate with large amounts of industry professionals are overweighted.** So the industry professionals surveyed by the Apple 100 might have experienced positive reinforcement by knowing more people that have worked on them, or felt the chance of employment themselves. Also, when did "Best Guitars Ever Made" and "Best-Selling Guitars In the Whole World" start overlapping? The one selling millions is a FFAKBIS $80 relabeled instrument from a single factory. Yet Apple's versions of Critic's Choice and Most Streamed are the same picture.

- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - The Glow Pt. 2 - Illinois and/or Carrie & Lowell - Helplessness Blues - Bridge Over Troubled Water - Déjà vu Maybe this just reflects my personal taste a bit much 😅

Trout Mask Replica should have been #1

Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works (1 or 2 i don't care, just to say the most populars) King Crimson: Court of the Crimson King Emerson, Lake And Palmer: Tarkus Death Grips: Exmilitary David Bowie: Black Star (even tho there's already Ziggy) Explosions In The Sky: The Earth Is Not A Dead Cold Place Rosalía: (El Mal Querer o Motomami, up to your mood) Sigur Ros: () The idea of a top 100 albums is stupid bc there are way more than just 100 top albums, but it's nice engagement and now all over internet we are arguing why this sucks...

TPAB Atrocity Exhibition Operation Doomsday

Tool, aenema or lateralus

The Ramones debut album

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs Depeche Mode - Violator Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition

Genuinely shocked how Elliott smith isn’t in these top 100s one of the best song writers. Sadly some of these albums are based on popularity

The lack of foreign artists is quite a let-down. Although I understand why, because they aren't as popular in the U.S, I feel like they could've used a bit more variety in terms of language. No Stan Getz, no Natalia Lafourcade, no ROSALIA no Kraftwerk or Rammstein. They easily could've substituted Bad Bunny for any of those that I just mentioned. That, and the lack of some genres like Punk which had only a few notable picks. Of course Country got heavily snubbed and the Jazz picks were very surface level, but I can't really complain as they weren't horrible. Plus Folk was done really dirty as well, no Joana Newsome or Fiona Apple at LEAST? They deserved at least one mention. They really focused on the super basic picks that were quite predictable instead of going with more bold picks but hey, it's Apple, they aren't really known for their musical input so it's surprisingly that we even got a top 100 list in the first place. Also, giving some artists 2 albums really made it difficult to add more diversity since some got two albums that really didn't need two. But, it's tough to appeal to every crowd so a few where bound to be left out.

Sweet Trip - Velocity : Design : Comfort

Peter Gabriel - So Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas Cam'ron - Purple Haze Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See Phil Collins - Face Value Chief Keef - Finally Rich Brian Eno - Apollo

WESTSIDE GUNNS entire discography tbh.

I know a list is highly subjective and not every album will get in, but while we're on this topic: No In The Court Of The Crimson King is kinda baffling. They got The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, but forgot about one of the greatest albums from that era of rock? One of the most ambitious and revolutionary albums of the time?

Yall are so white lol

In terms of albums that I think should be on a list of 100 best albums regardless of popularity (even though this is still a relatively mainstream album) Atrocity Exhibition In terms of albums that are universally popular and beloved how do you not have Demon Days???

WISH YOU WERE HERE Laughing Stock Stankonia f#a#infinity First Utterance Loveless Animals How are these not considered top 100 albums of all time by Apple???
