It turns out Apple Music has even worse taste than Rolling Stone

I did not think that was possible: Apple Music Top 100 Albums of All Time

#1 Lauryn Hill-The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. LOL

It’s not a bad list altogether.
But Lauryn Hill being number 1 is crazy.
I just looked at the list. What was the criteria?

Some of the greatest albums are too low like Rumours.

That list is basically AIDS. No way "artists" such as SZA, Travis Scott, or Missy Elliot--among others--should ever be on a Top 10,000 list, much less Top 100 list.

These list are so subjective depending on the person who made the list.
I wonder how old he/she is?

Is a fricking fantastic album. The woman is nuts, but that's a fine album.

I take more issue with Amy Winehouse in the top 10. The woman has one memorable song about being an idiot.

Beyoncé at 10 is hilarious. Blonde is not a top 5 album ever

It's just heavy on recency. It makes sense for a streaming service, which is going to be more pitched at a younger audience.

I don't agree with a lot of it, but I will say Missy Elliott should be top 100 and that Lauryn Hill album is fantastic. On the whole, this is just better regarded as a list where being recent is disproportionately beneficial.

A lot of god albums on there, the order is just wrong. Lauren Hill at #1 is for sure crazy.

The order of rap albums isn't quite as subjective as the other genres imo. Having that many albums in front of Outkast's Aquemini is wild. Insane to think that Kendrick Lamar has the 7th best album ever and the #1 rap album. And Frank Ocean at #5 is pretty wild too.

It certainly is a great record. It belongs somewhere in the top 100. But not anywhere near the top ten, let alone #1.

This was a one hit wonder for me.

Just looking at the back end of that list, I’d rather listen to Tyler the creator.

I don't disagree with that, but I've yet to see a Best Albums list that I agree with.

You will never agree with any list 100% but at least Rolling Stone's lists from the 80s were done by actual music people without so many political biases. I can't find that list but i think i still might have the actual magazine at home when they first did a greatest albums list. Hell their most recent list is not bad considering how woke that rag is now.

That’s easily the worst of these lists I’ve ever seen. Talk about recency bias. I’ve listened to a good bit of music in my life and there are easily 20 artist on that list that I have never heard of.

Back in Black by AC/DC is No. 90. It's the second selling album of all time.

Eagles Hotel California is No. 99, behind Solange "A Seat at the Table at 93. Yes, Solange, Beyonce's sister.

fricking travesty. I didn't get past No.90.
