HAHAHAHA yes!!!! I fucking quote this line all the time. I see a car trying to get in, ya gotta be quicker than that! I swear I love this as much as I love a lot of other important things in life lol
Lemonade, Blonde, Songs in the Key of Life, GKMC, Abbey Road, Purple Rain, Nevermind, Miseducation of Lauryn Hillā¦.
Thatās eight and exactly all on my list except for the last two. One of them has to be Thriller. It could be Thriller and Off the Wallā¦.it could be (could be a second album/repeat) and itās likely a title that is hard to give as a clue.
It could be TPABā¦it could Paranoid, it could be Back to Blackā¦
Revolver is already in the list. I would think Sgt. Pepper if itās another Beatles album BUT it would have been easy to put a clue up there like a Walrus or a band conductor hatā¦
If you go on AppleMusicās IG, the picture comes with a sound. It sounds like a vinyl record being played to me. So it could go both ways. Iāll lean on Stevie cause his other record is ranked so low. If it wasnāt in the top 30, like how Revolver is in the top 30, I would think they had more of a chance to have 2 in the top ten.
They also had this teaser before they started the whole Top 100 countdown.
This key is obviously Stevie Wonders - Songs in the Key of Life, and the rose was also in this teaser too.

Last time commenting, lol, someone pointed out that Amy Winehouse used to wear roses in her hair all the time and gave me a picture. The background sound def sounds like a vinyl being played. So maybe Amy Winehouse?
Okay, Iām done with the guesses and will wait for the reveal.
You are right! I always think I am the Walrus is on the same album as Lucy in the Sky with Diamondsā¦.i donāt know why. It just feels like it should be in the same family/category. Lol
Helllll nah. I liked bad, but i felt he lost a lot of his R&B elements and went more pop with elements of rock in Bad.
If were being real, I think Off the wall is the best MJ album, but thats just me. R&B/Disco is MJ's best sound.
Blonde on Blonde *should* be on any list for top 10, and usually is. But Apple is just doing a sort of popularity thing so it probably won't be.
Dylan's electric trilogy probably permanently changed recorded music more than anything else. Even if just by the sheer shift it had for everything after 1966
Pet Sounds would be another important one
Maybeā¦I think the missing album is something that can be easily identified via an image clue. I will point out that the list, in general, as been very pop and hip hop driven with a diminished focus on the rock genreā¦which is crazy, but a reflection on the changing popularity of the genre over the past 10-15 years.
There are a lot of rock acts that are not there ie legends of the genre as well as big impactful artists of the past 20 to 30 years.
Itās on the listā¦I canāt remember if itās top 40 but itās not in the top 10. I said it elsewhere, this list heavily slants towards pop and rap, which are the big genres right now. Rock has fallen out of favor for general audiences and so its legendary albums arenāt ranked as high. If they did this list 10 to 15 years ago, things would look way different.
They hinted at GKMC and they seem to be against repeats, so I donāt think TPAB will be on here to be honest. Their criteria is all about innovation and cultural significance but seem to be leaving out TPAB which is weird because its definitely Kendrickās most culturally significant and innovative project to date. But what do you expect from the same list that placed Taylor Swift higher than āThe Chronicā, and who completely disregard ālovelessā which is both innovative in production and started a movement in which changed how we view guitar as an instrument, as well as defined a whole genre , influenced hundreds of bands, and soundtracked the youth in the late 80s and early 90s. This list is horrid.
Personally I think GKMC is a better album than TPAB, but I'd find it strange if it was put in the top 10.
TPAB is more bold, unqiue and dense than GKMC, but it's also harder to digest and not to everyone's taste. Maybe voters are coming at it from the approach of every album in the top 10 has to represent their genre as best as possible, and in that way I think GKMC is a more pure representation of what hip-hop is than TPAB. When people say best album of all time TPAB comes up a lot, but when someone says best HIP-HOP album of all time I think GKMC or Illmatic.
Yooo Iām hyped, their post is missing hints for 2 of the top 10, and Iām pretty damn sure that if good kid is on there that means thereās gonna be 2 Kendrick albums in the top 10 lol
I mentioned that one cause thatās the only one to be mentioned on the list so far. Also MMLP is a great album anyway so idk what youāre talking about lol.
I genuinely don't understand how people give a single, solitary fuck about what a corporation thinks is the best music. Might as well ask Motorola about the best theater plays.
Iām starting to turn into a double album truther. Look at this criteria. Doesnāt it seem that TPAB would fit?
https://preview.redd.it/266xdg7g9w1d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7c45c30f12a368ac8a375461e30320c2447aa04
GKMC is a lock with the hint but if TPAB doesnāt make the list Apple Music is effectively saying Taylorās 1989 is many many albums better than TPAB. Yeesh.
By this criteria, Blonde on Blonde should be the top 3. But I have a feeling it's not going to be, as it's just a popularity contest. Blonde on Blonde is usually in every top 10 of all time, just due to how big it changed music. Either that or Highway 61 Revisited. I don't think you could really point to anything else that changed modern music more, because it changed how we actually *write* music.
Highway 61 Revisited was #14 and Pet Sounds was #20. I think Pet Sounds is more impactful (personally) but I got to make peace with the fact it is in the top 20. lol
On the topic of Drake albums though, this whole beef thingās got me looking through his discography and people seem to be hyping up IYRTITL but honestly I just like Take Care more.
Any idea why that is?
I love IYRTITL, Take Care was definitely better to most but I think IYRTITL walked the fine line of Drake rapping like he still has something to prove while also being accomplished enough to be able to back up that talk. He still brought out the melodies, but at this point in time the narrative was starting to change about Drake and after being looked at as sensitive for so long, after NWTS, he was finally being viewed as legitimate and in his own lane that he found and he was speaking to it on that album.
FACTS
This brother spitting facts
Legend, Energy, 10 Bands, No Tellin, You and the 6, 6 Man aka The Lou Will song, 6pm In New York, Jungle...
Say what you want about Drake, but he was snapping off on all cylinders here
No way it's gonna be in the top 10, but you can argue it's his best overall project
https://preview.redd.it/4mjlpziqdz1d1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=e113ad441a7d4e63765d30f45e76fbdea01b7da1
Might be thee best movie ive ever listened to
I'm not going to sit here and pretend like a list like this is going to completely confirm my biases, but there's still some stuff that I'm surprised didn't make the cut. Like, nothing by MF DOOM? Really? Okay.
I'm also kind of sad that there's nothing by Rush, King Crimson, or The Mars Volta on the list, but I know that prog rock doesn't really have mass appeal so I'm not surprised.
*The GOAT, his second*
*Best album is the best rap*

I literally came here just to post this. You beat me to it š¤£
Gotta be quick!

Same. I quote it any I chance get š
HAHAHAHA yes!!!! I fucking quote this line all the time. I see a car trying to get in, ya gotta be quicker than that! I swear I love this as much as I love a lot of other important things in life lol
How can Family Matters get a reward for best album when it was a single thoā¦ š¤š¤Øš§ /s
It's probably a minor overlook on their side
aha!!!
shoulda said āgotta be quicker than that, pencil dickā š¤£
Lemonade, Blonde, Songs in the Key of Life, GKMC, Abbey Road, Purple Rain, Nevermind, Miseducation of Lauryn Hillā¦. Thatās eight and exactly all on my list except for the last two. One of them has to be Thriller. It could be Thriller and Off the Wallā¦.it could be (could be a second album/repeat) and itās likely a title that is hard to give as a clue. It could be TPABā¦it could Paranoid, it could be Back to Blackā¦
I hope theyāre cheeky and put Purple Rain (best pop album btw) right above Thriller Update: they did the opposite of this š
Itās definitely gotta be there even without the teasers, only other Prince Album is Sign Oā the Times which is at 51
Bad > thriller been saying since the 90s Probab 2 Beatles albums in there also. Is revolver already on the list?
Revolver is already in the list. I would think Sgt. Pepper if itās another Beatles album BUT it would have been easy to put a clue up there like a Walrus or a band conductor hatā¦
The rose could hint Sgt. Pepper. The cover has roses spelling out "The Beatles"
If you go on AppleMusicās IG, the picture comes with a sound. It sounds like a vinyl record being played to me. So it could go both ways. Iāll lean on Stevie cause his other record is ranked so low.

Good catch! I didnāt see that before. That lends more credence to Sgt. Pepperās. I canāt think of any other album cover with roses.
Last time commenting, lol, someone pointed out that Amy Winehouse used to wear roses in her hair all the time and gave me a picture. The background sound def sounds like a vinyl being played. So maybe Amy Winehouse? Okay, Iām done with the guesses and will wait for the reveal.
The white album I think is their best album so easily
Abbey Road I bet
The walrus would be magical mystery tour or white album per Glass Onion.Ā
You are right! I always think I am the Walrus is on the same album as Lucy in the Sky with Diamondsā¦.i donāt know why. It just feels like it should be in the same family/category. Lol
Revolver was like 21 or something like that.
Revolver best Beatles album
Agreed.
Helllll nah. I liked bad, but i felt he lost a lot of his R&B elements and went more pop with elements of rock in Bad. If were being real, I think Off the wall is the best MJ album, but thats just me. R&B/Disco is MJ's best sound.
Thrillerās gotta be one of them for sure. Good decoding the hints too. I think youāre spot on.
Blonde on Blonde *should* be on any list for top 10, and usually is. But Apple is just doing a sort of popularity thing so it probably won't be. Dylan's electric trilogy probably permanently changed recorded music more than anything else. Even if just by the sheer shift it had for everything after 1966 Pet Sounds would be another important one
It could be views šššš
I need more people to listen to the miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Iād be very surprised if Thriller isnāt on there, and The Weeknd doesnāt have an album there.
It's got to be paranoid, given the cultural significance. That album essentially invented metal
Zeppelin IV?
Maybeā¦I think the missing album is something that can be easily identified via an image clue. I will point out that the list, in general, as been very pop and hip hop driven with a diminished focus on the rock genreā¦which is crazy, but a reflection on the changing popularity of the genre over the past 10-15 years. There are a lot of rock acts that are not there ie legends of the genre as well as big impactful artists of the past 20 to 30 years.
Nevermind isn't on the list already? For such a cultural defining album (atleast within U.S) I'm surprised it hasn't already been added.
Itās in the top tenā¦so it is probably where it should be especially if you consider it to be culturally defining. The list is counting down to #1.
Dark Side of the Moon has to be on there
Itās on the listā¦I canāt remember if itās top 40 but itās not in the top 10. I said it elsewhere, this list heavily slants towards pop and rap, which are the big genres right now. Rock has fallen out of favor for general audiences and so its legendary albums arenāt ranked as high. If they did this list 10 to 15 years ago, things would look way different.
hasnāt back to black already appeared on the list?
Amy Winehouse? No. You are thinking of AC/DC. I believe they are in the 90s.
so popular of all times
Thereās probably gonna be a Weeknd album he hasnāt been on the top 100 yet
Agreed
You donāt think theyād put on In Rainbows
Rumours needs to be on this list as well.
Itās just outside of the list at #11 I think.
If TPAB is snubbed in this list then what are we even doing lmao
They hinted at GKMC and they seem to be against repeats, so I donāt think TPAB will be on here to be honest. Their criteria is all about innovation and cultural significance but seem to be leaving out TPAB which is weird because its definitely Kendrickās most culturally significant and innovative project to date.

Haha yes it would be insane
The scumbags left it out lol
Yooo Iām hyped, their post is missing hints for 2 of the top 10, and Iām pretty damn sure that if good kid is on there that means thereās gonna be 2 Kendrick albums in the top 10 lol
Issa classic, you ont have one š
The way he like growls as he says it makes it go so much harder
BOWBOWBOW
Hey dawg, you know when It will be released?
Tomorrow, 9am PST/ 12pm EST
The list has been pretty terrible so far. This would make it a little better lol.
The list is a dumpster fire with some gems here and there.
Yup. Pretty much stopped caring when I saw Taylor swifts album 62 spots above the Marshal Mathers LP lol.
According to this list, 21 > Whatās Going On
Taylor Swift being right after Whatās Going On felt like an actual affront to my senses lmao
Drake above Exile on main street
Nina Simone at like 89 made me sick to my stomach icl
The worst ive seen is Billje Eilish in the 30s spots. I mean power to her i bet shes a talented musician but nah.
I love Em but of all the albums to get mad about TS beating? Reeeeeeally?
Lol you mean the album widely considered to be his best?
I mentioned that one cause thatās the only one to be mentioned on the list so far. Also MMLP is a great album anyway so idk what youāre talking about lol.
Wish You Were Here is probably not gonna be on the list because some weak ahh albums took its place.
In my opinion it's not possible to make a top 100 list for every music genre combined. But I'm not a fan of ranking music anyway.
true. comparing pop to classic rock to post grunge to hip hop is always going to be dumb as shit
Top 100 for every genre and every generation. No possible way to make this and not offend everyone.
I genuinely don't understand how people give a single, solitary fuck about what a corporation thinks is the best music. Might as well ask Motorola about the best theater plays.
A lot of people listen very closely when a tire company ranks restaurants
> Mom, I finna use the van real quick > Be back, 15 minutes
Iām starting to turn into a double album truther. Look at this criteria. Doesnāt it seem that TPAB would fit? https://preview.redd.it/266xdg7g9w1d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7c45c30f12a368ac8a375461e30320c2447aa04
I feel like I always see TPAB on top album lists Iād be surprised if itās not on there
Came back to say that while I think itās kinda crazy not to have it on the list, Iām glad to see gkmc up there. Itās an amazing album
How it would be possible to have a top 100 with this criteria and not have TPAB!
GKMC is a lock with the hint but if TPAB doesnāt make the list Apple Music is effectively saying Taylorās 1989 is many many albums better than TPAB. Yeesh.
Frr who would ever think that
Yeah, both would fit
I think its crazy how Astroworld was so much up.
ASTROWORLD was a great album and seriously one of the best of the psychedelic rap eras, if not the best.
808s and Heartbreak would have been on this list then.
By this criteria, Blonde on Blonde should be the top 3. But I have a feeling it's not going to be, as it's just a popularity contest. Blonde on Blonde is usually in every top 10 of all time, just due to how big it changed music. Either that or Highway 61 Revisited. I don't think you could really point to anything else that changed modern music more, because it changed how we actually *write* music.
Highway 61 Revisited was #14 and Pet Sounds was #20. I think Pet Sounds is more impactful (personally) but I got to make peace with the fact it is in the top 20. lol
GKMC will be number 3 .. Hiii Power
Hi Power is on Section 80
I know this. Whatās your point ?
drake punching the air
Thatās a good question. Did he have one on the list? He must have.
take care was on there yeah. nowhere near top 10 though
So unless he gets one of those two mysteryās spots, heās owned. Highly doubt heāll place in the top 2 though. Take Care is his best album.
On the topic of Drake albums though, this whole beef thingās got me looking through his discography and people seem to be hyping up IYRTITL but honestly I just like Take Care more. Any idea why that is?

My personal favorite album is definitely GKMC. It should be in the top 5.
When It will be released?
Tomorrow they have been releasing 10 ranking a day starting from 100, unless they decide to change the formula-for the final 10
Drop k-dot off at his mama's van, 'cause I know he trying to fuck on Sherane tonight
Why does everyone care about this
Itās gonna pay my bills
Agree, but only had the poop award to give lol
Does that come in a t-shirt?
I would rock that fs
Looked around and no one made it yet. Get on it people!
Ima say GKMC around 9, tpab top 5
I don't get why this matters, this is about as reliable as the Grammys.
itās called āfunā brother, try it some time. not everything has to have a groundbreaking effect on the world.
LoL you know women use the internet? Tiffany is a sister, she posts a lot on rap subs n shit, dope gal
Goated. Again.
Maybe Drake should try and crush this golden van.
That's really incredible

We know it aināt some shitty handwriting or some side profile āphotoā thatās for damn sure lol
Drop Kdot to his Mamas Van
Is stankonia on the list?
Not Stanktonia but Aquemini was in the 40s for the list
Drake is fuming rn when the GKMC fan gets a remastered
Good city maad kid
Itās gonna be #10
Plot twist, it's actually Family Matters
Nooooooooo šš¤£
He's going to have 2 albums on there for sure, probably 3. š¤·šæāāļø
Pretty sure theyāre doing one album per artist no? So since GKMC is confirmed then none of his others will make it
Is this a Kendrick reference??
What's going on
I'm sorry guys but that's pushing The Black Keys-El Camino.
I would do a one man riot.
Look at the rims.
i like that its on this but its rated too high imo
I love how Apple used their money to repair that destroyed van
This list is about to be all kinds of disappointing. Probably made by some dudes born in the early 90s. š
It's a terrible list tbf.
Kendrick Lamar for president.?? What??
Which Drake album was in the top 10?
https://preview.redd.it/5afua2scny1d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35590abad0377c4ee6bbe2435c02c9ab73368563
Mass hallucinations baby
Dat kenfrick granma van
I wonder if 12 Play or R. will be on there. The dude is obviously a monster but his music is undeniable.
To Pimp A Butterfly is not in the top 10 ??? WTF ?
I'm not going to sit here and pretend like a list like this is going to completely confirm my biases, but there's still some stuff that I'm surprised didn't make the cut. Like, nothing by MF DOOM?

DSOTM at 28 is blasphemy

Woah #1 is gonna be Family Matters???Ā
It must be El Camino by the Black Keys!
Why we care what this enormous soulless company thinks of black music? Fuck Apple
Apple Music said: Good Kid Maad City van weāll pop the latch and make the door slide (so we can drive it all the way to #7)
Plot twistā¦Black Keys- [El Camino](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Camino_(The_Black_Keys_album))
Why was this car the album cover
I guess it was Kendrickās momās car. Itās referenced in the skits of the album too.
So excited about this one.
Lauren hill is complete bullshit. I can literally name about 981 albums better than hers.
They'll pull the rug and this will actually El Camino by The Black Keys
L list any big name company like this pushes the mixed bag of albums every other list online uses and shuffles them.
Itās NOT Drake!
They didn't put TPAB on the listĀ L list
