What is the best music album of all time?

4. Nas Illmatic

This in my humble opinion is the best Rap album of all time, no question asked. The reason why Nas recent works arent that well-liked is that we compare it to Illmatic.

Now, for the top 3 that literally changed my life on listening to music.

Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?

Seriously, Just Beat it by Michael Jackson is my favorite Michael Jackson song of all time, but I love Billie Jean, Thriller, as well. This album was so influential and important, that it helped with desegregation and provided racial equality.

9. To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Now that I put out my list on favorite music album of all time, I want to put out my list on best music album of all time.

The production on this music album is extremely high quality, to the point it still sounds fresh 15 years later. This had amazing East Coast hip hop melodies, took inspiration from Kanye’s College Trilogy, has maximalist style (super produced) and it feels like a rap opera. This album explored celebrity culture, self-doubt, romance, escapism, and acknowledged drug/alcohol abuse.

6. Purple Rain by Prince

The Jazz rap instrumentals, the funky sounds, and how Kendrick Lamar teamed ups ith African bands to create some insane otherworldly sounds. My favorite songs from this album are Alright, I, and King Kunta.

What melts your heart every time without fail?

It completely changed the hip hop game, and Kendrick Lamar broke the barrier. This talked about police brutality, the struggles of being Black, depression, Systemic instutionalism, and being proud of African culture.

This was my first album I listened to Prince thanks to Apple Music ranking , and while I dont really vibe with the music due to Prince’s singing not being engaging…. I got to admit this album is GREAT. It really makes me focus on Prince’s band and instrumentals, and I understand that Michael Jackson is more popular and famous, Prince really was groundbreaking in using guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. This was the album that made Prince a superstar.

Every single female musician you can think of has been influenced by this album. Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Clairo, Rihanna, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Due Lipa, Alicia Keys, Zendaya, Adele, Amy Winehouse have publicly stated how this album is their favorite and they took heavy influence on it.

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

Now, I knew Michael Jackson was top 3 best musical artists of all time, but I also heard this was the best selling musical album of all time. So I had high expectations.

5. Beyonce’s Lemonade

Kenny Nguyen's answer to What is your favorite album ever?

If my lovely sister sleeps with my boyfriend, what should I do about her?

Speaking of Kendrick Lamar

And I want to point out that these are very competitive list as well. It took a while for me to narrow it down, and it was pretty tough. I know there are more albums that I need to hear, so while my list of favorite album is set in stone, this list will fluctuate.

This song literally has my favorite Emiem song of all time, which is Stan. It’s arguably the best rap song of all time, but maybe thats because I’m a basic person. I just love the storytelling and wordplay.

How do empaths destroy narcissists?

That being said, even with Kanye’s trouble history….. this album rocks. Kanye says Yeezus is his masterpiece, and I can see that. But this album had some SEIROUS F*CKING HIGHS. I mentioned how Graduation album was more consistent and didnt have serious lows, but this song came out swinging. Dark Fantasy, All of the Lights, Monster, So appalled, Devil in a Dress were all bangers. And of course Runaway is in my opinion Kanye West’s best song of all time. It’s 9 minutes but I can listen to it without getting tired.

And finally number one

Okay, I know that it’s my favorite album of all time, but this is basically the gate keeper of best albums I hear. It’s my favorite West coast concept album of all time, and has my favorite song (Backseat Freestyle) while it’s very accessible. This is the gatekeeper of best album, Every single album I listen to has to go through Good Kiid Maad city before it can be on my Best album list.

Speaking of Kanye west

While I did listen to her other albums, I dont think any album really gripped me as hard as this album. This album was made in 2016, and is currently the only recent album to snag the dub. This is my favorite female Concept album of all time, and it completely changed the game. Maybe this is because this was my first Beyonce album.

This song literally made me open my third eye. I went on a god damn Beatles phase where I listened to every song. Yet nothing comes close to this album in my opinion. Maybe it’s like watching Logan before the previous two Wolverine movies, but I completely appreciate the Beatles. This album is still influential to this day, and thats 60 years In the future.

Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?

Honorable Mention: Good Kiid Maad City

This album is an 11/10. It has dense lyricism, yet it’s easy to understand, and it talks about deep mature topics about feminism. This album was the first time where Lauryn Hill rapped while she sang (Drake was not hte first person to do so, he was the guy who made it mainstream). She was the pioneer of female rappers/singers who made it mainstream, and one of the first singers/rappers to talk about politics and emotions.

Like seriously, this was the 1990s New York version of Kendrick’s Good Kid Maad City. I sometimes flip flop on which album I prefer between the two. That’s how good this album is. This album has amazing lyrical story-telling and is the reason why I prefer deep lyricism in my songs. This song describes New York to the point where I can visualize everything Nas says, I love Nas use of poetry and multisyllabic rhymes. The themes for me still resonate with talking about gang violence, Drug, and being an artist.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

The only cons I can think of are the lows, and it’s not that the songs were bad, but it just pales in comparison to the highs. Gorgeous, Hell of a Life were decent, but I really couldn't remember Blame Game, or Lost in the World melodies. But people have to keep in mind: Those songs are GOOD. It’s just that those songs I listed arent that impressive compared to Runaway.

This album is so good, that I consider it to not only be the Greatest Rap album of all time, but it is the GOAT of Hip Hop Album no question.

Kuorans can you write a sad story about kpop?

This album is not only well-made, but it’s the MOST consistent. Every single song here are bangers, there’s no weak points. I can remember the melodies. This album was part of literally New York/East Coast trilogy (Enter the Wu Tang Clan, Illmatic, and Ready to Die). This album inspired and influenced Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Lupe Fiasco, Busta Rhymes, Alicia Keyes on their later works.

The fact that Michael Jackson somehow surpassed my extremely unrealistic high expectations is unfathomable. Fantano may point out while this is just Michael Jackson’s greatest hits, and Michael Jackson has other albums that are better.

And while it’s true, I personally consider Thriller to be his best album. This is the definitive Pop album of all time. Michael Jackson’s voice is literally like a male angel singing from heaven, and the fact that he was only 24 years old and he made this is insane. He’s literally MY AGE right now. This album was literally because Michael Jackson was mad that Off the Wall didnt win a grammy that he went super Saiyan on this.

I remember thinking to myself “How are the Beatles this praised. They’re probably overrated”. Then I listen to this song.

Like seriously, the songs sound so different and unique in a super technological way. It feels like Yeezus by Kanye West took inspiration from this album, and it reads like a harsh diary. While I personally didnt enjoy it as much, I have to marvel at the production, and admit that it was really well-made.

Is Matt Gaetz qualified to be Attorney General of the United States?

While some of the lyrics are too mysognistic and violent, this was definitely Eminem’s Masterpiece. I consider this to be his “The Dark Knight” album, because this was the middle child of his three peat (Slim Shady LP, this, and Eminem Show) of critically acclaimed albums. It’s personally my favorite horror core album, and is very autobiographical and has amazing mood swings, lyrical storytelling, and talks about Eminem’s past. It’s no wonder Kendrick Lamar mentioned Eminem as his GOAT, and how this album changed his life by introducing him to rapping storytelling.

This was the first concept album in the streaming era, it literally feels like a film, it explores black feminism, African culture, her relationship to Jay Z, the Black Family, Grief, Trauma, perseverance. This album expertly juggles R&B, Soul, Pop, Hip hop, and Blues. The songs are great, and personally my favorite song is Sorry. This album made me understand why people hype up Beyonce

10. The Marshall Matters LP by Eminem

What do you think about a sister's love?

2. Thriller from Michael Jackson

This was the album that I honestly had no expectations but in my opinion is the Perfect album. No question asked. Why? Because it has almost every single genre of music. It has Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop/Rap, Soul, Reggae, Rock, etc. The only genre it doesnt have is Horrorcore or Scream music.

7. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

3. Abbey Road from The Beatles

My favorite three songs from this album personally are come Together, Here comes the sun, Oh Darling.

8. Okay Computer by Radiohead

The Nintendo Switch 2 is here: all of the launch news - theverge.com

I mentioned in my previous answer that I personally enjoyed Good Kid Mad City more because it’s accessible, relatable, and hype instrumentals. That said…. this is Kendrick Lamar’s Masterpiece and Magnus Opus. This is objectively his best work, no question asked.

Seriously, Lauryn Hill’s album was so good, that she made hip hop/rap mainstream. That’s INSANE. And this is from a Neo-soul album, a genre Im not a big fan of. This is why this album in my opinion is the Perfect album ever. If you ever search up “Masterpiece” or “perfection” it is this album.

The best way to describe this album is like if Fight Club film was turned into an album. While I wasnt a big fan of it, I got to say that the songs and instrumentals feel so futuristic and almost alien-like. It has really deep mature dark themes like Social alienation, consumerism, capitalism, political division, and globalization/anticapitalism.

Now, next up is

Lets go on down the list

Next up is

It’s not just the female artists too. Kendrick Lamar, Jay Cole, Lil Wayne, Drake, Jay Z, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Maroon 5, and Lupe Fiasco have stated this album is either their favorite or they took heavy influence on it.

It includes so many genre into this, yet it doesnt struggle under the weight but thrives under it. I dont like Disco, but this album won me over. It has disco, funk, soul, synth-pop, rock, yet has dark supernatural imagery and anti-violence. This song also got me through a Michael Jackson phase, and I consider Michael Jackson, Elvis, and The Beatles as the greatest musical artists of all time.

Nas first work is literally compared to The Dark Knight, Logan, and Into the Spider-Verse, and him trying to follow that up. Do people realize how huge those expectations would be?

Next up is

So thats my ranking of best albums of all time. I hope people enjoy my list, and check this out.

After Good Kid Mad city, I was hungry for rap albums, and this definitely scratched that list. I listened to Eminem’s old albums, but I mainly know him because of popular songs like Love the way you lie, monster, rap god, not afraid, real slim shady, etc. But this album finally made me realize why people call him the GOAT of modern hip hop.

currently, only Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar are the two artists who appear on both of my favorite and best album list of all time. Fantano may call this overrated, and I do agreee on the fact that I liked Graduation more than this album.

I loved the first six songs, and I loved how the second half of this album is literally split into 6 parts but it flows so well and it’s…. beautiful. I can’t describe it. I hated Rock, and this song literally makes me LIKE Rock. Every single rock album I listen to has to be compared to this album. The only album that comes close is Nevermind by Nirvana
