🎧apple music's 100 best albums: the top 12
their inaugural list from 2024, picked by an editorial panel plus a pile of artists. not a streaming-numbers ranking, that's the whole point of it
01
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill
no note needed, #1 and correctly so
02
Thriller - Michael Jackson
03
Abbey Road - The Beatles
04
Purple Rain - Prince
side two is the whole argument for this album, start there if you only have 20 minutes
05
Blonde - Frank Ocean
the one 2016 album that aged into a canon pick this fast. rare
06
Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
07
good kid, m.A.A.d city (Deluxe) - Kendrick Lamar
08
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
get the deluxe if you can, the b-sides aren't filler
09
Nevermind - Nirvana
10
Lemonade - Beyoncé
argue with the list, not me, but this one's correct too
11
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
the whole band was breaking up while recording this. you can hear it
12
OK Computer - Radiohead
