It's a sign of our age. When we were all growing up it was a big deal and much more relevant . The same could be said for print media like the New York Times or cable new like CNN. But that was decades ago, and these businesses are a pale shadow of their former statue. KZreadrs routinely draw in larger numbers than CNN shows. Every time I rewatch "Almost Famous" it reminds me of how big a deal RS was back in the 70s. Most of the old icons are gone, and replaced by millennials and zoomers with a very limited scope of context to pull from. For them "the classics" are record from the 90s lol.

I'm just glad that the list is finished so that the discourse around it finally stops flooding every social media website I use. No hate towards you guys btw, this video was very reasonable and not overly dramatic like what I've seen everywhere else. Maybe I'm just getting old and apathetic, but I don't get why so many people are acting like it's the end of the world when their favorite album is outside of the top 20. At the end of the day it's a meaningless list thrown together by a billion dollar corporation to drive engagement and get people to talk about them. And it definitely worked Personally, my biggest complaints are the exclusion of Black Sabbath and Joy Division/New Order, and Kacey Musgraves being the sole country representation (why is she here but not Johnny Cash?). Also I think it would've been better if they only had 1 entry per artist. Overall, not the best list imo but it could've been worse. Hopefully it turned some people onto some great music that they otherwise wouldn't have known about

Another great entertaining video boyz!!! The only critique is to be more clear what you mean when you say higher or lower (I know Jason stopped to clarify a couple times). Higher on the list? Meaning a lower number? Or lower on the list meaning a higher number!!! Confusing I know. Keep up the great work

Yeah, they really need to stop calling these lists "greatest" or "best" of all time. They are the nothing more than the favorite albums of the specific people voting for them.

Thanks for taking the time to go through the list. When Apple unleashed iTunes (2001), with its $0.99-per-song formula, the unintended consequence was the death of the album. The music industry shifted markedly to be a singles-based medium. Yes, singles have always been important, but albums are where artists would strive to make "a big statement." Given this, how can so many from Apple's list be from the last 20 years? (Of course, the irony that Apple invented the album's demise with iTunes can't be lost on anyone.) The other question I'd ask is "how long does it take for an album to be considered a classic? A year? Five years? Ten?" Sure, there's such a thing as an instant classic, but I think albums need time to prove their mettle and stand the test of time. There are albums on this list that are 50+ years old (and many more missing!) that we still discuss to this day. Will we still be discussing Lorde, say, in 50 years time? Lana Del Rey?

Those 90s and OOs ( cds ) are to long. If there are 3 throw away songs by definition they cant be anywhere near the top 100

I don't they got the topic. The topic is the TOP 100 OF ALL TIME! Let me repeat the key words - ALL TIME! There are a few albums that qualify, but the majority are not worthy to be on this list. If you pay Apple for this, you're getting ripped off!

Burial - Untrue is regarded as a very influential album, especially in the electronic music scene. Not in my top 100, but I can definitely understand why it would make the list.

Some thoughts: Why is simplistic rock often higher regarded than technical or heavy? As someone who can appreciate both. I don't get it. I understand that new artists come in. New genres get higher recognition. Different styles come in and out of fashion... But shouldn't quality of the music be main focus? I respect that albums sell lots and I respect that an album invented something... But neither makes them automatically amazing.

Sad to see the omission of Who's Next, Led Zep IV, Sticky Fingers (or Exile), Parallel Lines, Imperial Bedroom, Deja Vu (or Harvest maybe), Blonde on Blonde or Blood on the Tracks (better if not more significant than Highway 61), Sergeant Pepper or Rubber Soul (the White Album probably too weird), Unknown Pleasures etc ...but given where we are culturally, and the fact that the list is American, probably not surprising.

I understand the list makers trying to diversify across the music spectrum but, in my opinion, they produced a list with an abundance of albums that haven't stood the test of time. I mean, there are certainly some true classics here, but there are a bunch of newer records that are really just "safe" choices. A lot of these albums are not particularly original. There's a kind of edginess that the best albums have that may not click with listeners for a few years. Or, it isn't until much later that you realize how original it was for the time and you can see its influences. A lot of these newer records are too recent to have settled in.

I can never usually understand the "old man/cloud"-type moaning about all-time album lists, but this Apple one is particularly stupid. I know lists usually try and reflect "what's popular now and how we got here", a bit of revisionism and retrofitting etc; but the desperation is strong with this one. For a while now there's been an almost-complete eradication of punk/post punk & alternative, as well as the squashing down of classic rock, singer/songwriters and so on. I do generally applaud the destruction of sacred cows and anything that annoys grumbly old men like me, but there comes a tipping point where a list is so short-sighted it's of no earthly use to anyone. Also! no Marquee Moon, Maggot Brain, Zen Arcade, Unknown Pleasures, Ramones, Nevermind the Bollocks, White Album, Led Zep 4, Sticky Fingers, Who's Next... No Black Sabbath, James Brown, Leonard Cohen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Zappa, King Crimson, Creedence, Chuck Berry, no Elvises, no Neil Young... Two albums to represent all of jazz, one for metal, no country...even the wrong Kendrick one. I'd have had more respect if the list was pretty much all exactly as it was, but the top 2 were something completely random like Alice Coltrane's Journey to Satchidananda and Van Halen 1. I could go on but I have already boomered myself to death.

Greatest disappointment about the list is its largely US/ UK myopia. This was a golden opportunity to introduce several classic albums/ sounds from around the world to curious listeners but it was largely squandered. Hopefully they course-correct when they do their singles list.

Glad you guys are talking about this. Farcical list but that’s not unexpected. Genuinely cringed as i was scrolling down it.

I don’t get why they did this. How does trafficking in this kind of attention-seeking behavior benefit the music streaming part of their business? I bet some people canceled their Apple Music membership over this 😂

Some classics in there, fair enough. Generally though, Horrendous.

No Weird Al!? I'm shocked.

It seems like more of a top urban albums list with a few rock albums thrown in just to throw whitey a bone.

Lists are shit really aren't they? Either predictable sacred cows or inclusions that annoy people.

We must invent method for ranking . In minimum 10 . criteria point .

My take on Kraftwerk is that their sound was obviously influential, I just don't find their songs to be all that interesting on a melodic level.

​@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Neon Lights off of The Man-Machine is quite melodic.

Not a rap fan so yup this is bad for me and not in a cool Jackson way.

I think Joe gets too hung up on these two words placed closely together: post and punk. I think he’d enjoy more than he realizes. He is a stubborn fella, that one! Nearly as stubborn as Jason with his anti hip-hop stance. Love you guys anyway! We need a Bob Dylan type series for both of you with the aforementioned genres. Please think about it. James Murphy said: “I Can Change”

I think it's time you guys did a corrective top 100 albums and it can't all be Jason's songwriters nor can it be Joe's metalheads. But you have plenty of solid picks in your AOTYs to compile a compelling list. As for Apple? Well, it's defined by today's musical taste and who SHOULD be included. You mentioned a lot of artists missing - I would like to add The Pixies, The Stone Roses Nick Drake, Queen, Lou Reed, Prefab Sprout, Todd Rundgren, John Lennon, Supertramp, Pearl Jam. There's way too many rap albums. In fact, not that many white artists of the 21st century apart from the commercially successful ones (Lady Gaga, Lana Del Ray, Taylor Swift, Adele, etc...). Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes are the only white male artists from the 21st century. I could go on but I shouldn't be surprised.

It's a REALLY tough choice, but I think that Abbey Road is my favorite Beatles album.

@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Yeah. I'm a second generation Beatles fan. My Mom turned me on to then while I was literally still in the womb. Over the years, my favorite album has constantly rotated between Pepper, The White Album, and Abbey Road. At 47, I think that Abbey Road is pretty firmly locked into the number one spot.

It's the *sound* of that album. Maybe the best-sounding album ever, and heads and shoulders above every other Beatles album, sonically. Alas, Maxwell.

@@edward8597 Agreed. Y'know it was brand new recording technology at the time.

You can expect to be served legal papers within the next few days. Listening to you guys go through that list gave me a stroke. But seriously. I haven't heard at least half those albums. The last 25 years of mainstream music has been a wash of nothing to me. To me rap is a bunch of garbage that all sounds the same. There might be ten albums in that list that I would include in a top 100. No Sgt Pepper? No Sticky Fingers? Only 1 Zep album? No Deep Purple? No Black Sabbath? No freaking Kinks? What the fuck man?

This list was a doozy. I feel like Hounds of Love is going to end up on so many greatest albums of all time lists without the Stranger Things connection because it's such a quintessential art pop album, setting the standard for modern day neurotic, artsy female singer/songwriters. I remember several years ago pitchfork gave it a perfect 10 score and rolling stone ranking it at the top 70 of their 500 greatest albums list. When I saw Drake at number 47 on this list, I was like "Over Kate Bush?! haha" because he's more of a singles artist than an album artist.

burial ABSOLUTELY deserved to be on here

Album top 10 1. Kendrick Lamar to pump a butterfly 2. Haim day are gone 3. Florence & The Machine Lungs 4. Paramore After Laughter 5. Paramore Riot! 6. frank ocean channel orange 7. Mac Miller Swimming 8. Sa-roc daughter sharecroppers. 9. rapsody laila's wisdom. 10. frank ocean channel orange 11. the beatles sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band 12. the beatles magical mystery tour

Even as someone who "gets" Bad Bunny, reducing all of spanish music to him and (in the RS list) just one of the best salsa singers is condescending as hell. Lots of people here are mixed on that album.

No Whitney Houston , Celine Dion , Diana Ross ,And Supreme ,Who Queen. Rem.Heart.Doors

Heh guys loving you as always but I hope you are not stressing yourselves over this . I worked in music journalism for 20 years . Of course this is a rubbish list .. its aimed at advertisers , corporates and of course there is the sheer click bait of it being so controversial which of course we all fall into . . they just want people to subscribe to apple music . Ah well sorry wont be doing that . Keep looking after yourselves and you are still edging me with that Prince listograohy. Its a holiday weekend here in uk hope you are having fun

Alicia keys showing all of her awards yesterday after apple music released their top 100

No Soundgarden superunkown, pearl jams ten, jeff Buckleys Grace or literally ANY Fiona friggin Apple album????

'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' appears to be de rigueur in many of these lists. I've never heard it. Cheers.

It's a good album. For me, I found it dragged a bit. It's definitely worth a listen though.

No Black Sabbath, Smashing Pumpkins, King Gizzard, Charles Mingus, Chuck Berry, Funkadelic, the doors, the who, Living Colour, Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Slayer, Frank Zappa, Deep Purple, Fugazi, Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison, Iron Maiden, John Lee Hooker, King Crimson, Yes, Dire Straits, Al Green, the Roots, Sepultura, Rush, Ohio Players, Fela Kuti, Ali Farka Toure, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Prodigy, this list is a great bullshit

The list is pretty bonkers to me, however, most of these lists are. However, i guess another way to look at it is - this list may not represent what i like, but maybe there are some albums or genres here that i haven't explored enough - who knows

Just like any list...I don't have many problems with the selections as I do with the order they are in.

Was this list based on the number of album purchases on iTunes? If so, that ranking is based on that segment of users that stream music on iTunes and therefore excludes a huge population of music buyers.

It was not based on sales. The albums were selected by a ‘panel of experts’
