Is Apple's Top 100 Albums List THAT Bad?

Use this as an “Anthony should make a top 100 albums of all time list” button

The U2 album that Apple forced onto everyone's iTunes should have been number 1.

Let’s fix the title: Apple’s north american worldvision 100 best records.

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

Idk how they forgot about Fiona when they are literally named after her

Anthony Fantano the type of guy to listen to a song

Frank Ocean over Stevie Wonder is absolutely insane. Also not a single Billy Joel album? Come on

being named Tanner has been the biggest disappointment of my life

I can ignore TPAB not making the cut, but not having even one NAV album is where I draw the line.

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.

As a certified Swiftie…1989 was not the right album and an 18 placement is crazy.

Feeling like Fantano overestimates how many albums can fit into a top 25

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.”

Anthony’s top 100 list would have at least 500 albums all in the top 50

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

Gorillaz should've been on like the 90s with Demon Days or Plastic Beach, fight me

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 🙏🙏

madvillainy getting snubbed is insane

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 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.
