I’m curious to hear your opinions on this iteration of the list.

Jagged Little Pill being #69 is delicious.

It’s terrible. But I’m happy to see Joni Mitchell that high.

Some great choices, but also some odd ones too. Having a few good (or even great) songs doesn’t necessarily make it a great album.

It re-entered. It fell off in the 2012 edition.

Blue at #3 is pure taste.

Not much to see here I’m afraid...

I’m glad my favorite album of all time, So by Peter Gabriel is still on the list, although I’m sad to see it slide lower down in the ranks than it was before. Although I did see that Automatic For The People by R.E.M. moved into the top 100, and Kid A by Radiohead moved further up in the top 100. One album in the top 100 that I don’t think was even included at all in the 2012 update that I’m so happy to see is Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush.

Lemonade is at a very good position although it did deserve a top 25 placement. Beyoncé’s “4” could’ve also easily made this list. I do like that they were very welcoming to female records this time around.

I loved that they included two Mary J. Blige’s albums. What’s the 411? was definitely a snub the first two times. I love the fact that My Life made it all three times.

Pet Sounds should’ve been #1. What’s Going On(the album and the song) is a masterpiece, but Pet Sounds is more deserving of that spot. It’s just a legendary album.

I can tell there’s a lot of recency bias looking at this list.
