grant i like purple

left her on blue after i red out her back

It's just an absolutely insane decision to include that Bad Bunny album. Without it, they could just say that the list is English language only, but with it, they are basically saying Astroworld is better than every album in any language other than English

You are telling me an apple made this music's top 100 albums?

top 100 hivemind videos when?

Hivemind the type of guy to say “I have more to say about that later” and then never talk about it again.

This is so specific but Graydon looks like an ace attorney character 2/3 into being cross examined in the thumbnail

no total xanarchy is insane!

Recency bias goes crazy on this list

Lil mabu making it on the list was unexpected, but it would’ve been a big snub otherwise.

I can't overstate how important and influencial Black Sabbath's Paranoid is for all Metal and Rock music, massive snub

Graydon’s family photo album snubbed

no yuno miles on this list is absolutely insane

Can’t believe quonka didn’t make it

I think the main issue is the list feels almost randomly composed. We got classic albums at like 80 then a new SZA project above it. It’s just weird.

That's not apple music's 100 best albums of all time.... it's a bag of ranch!!

I think if they were gonna put all these modern pop albums on the list, it is geniunely psychotic that somehow After Hours, or even any of The Weeknd didn't make the list. He's the biggest pop star of the modern era and he's nowhere to be found. Insane.

People hearing Lauryn Hill for the first time is a great point, that’s great. Imagine millions of people hearing Surfer Rosa by the Pixies for the first time. Surfer Rosa #1 would be amazing and the chaos would be hilarious

No Pixies album and only one Bowie album is insane considering what they included

no emo, hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post rock, or any truly alternative music was here. every “rock” album included was the sort to be sold on a T shirt at kohls

Grace by Jeff Buckley is def an INSANE snub

world record amount of crack smoked before creating this list

Haven’t seen anyone mention Illinois by Sufjan Stevens getting snubbed, a top five album of the 2000’s (and a top ten album of all time for me)

No mention of When the Pawn by Fiona Apple? One of the greatest singer-songwriter records ever and a great example of an artist with real generational talent. Definitely a big snub for - she’s even got Apple in her name!

Metallica and RATM being really the only metal or heavy music representation is insane to me personally.

Biggest snub was still graydons family photo album to the grand canyon

Can’t believe the lil Mabu album wasn’t on the list 💔💔💔💔

I agree with Riley on the modern pop albums and I really thought it was weird that The Weeknd wasn’t included when artists like Billie eilish and Adele were

AM being at 50 is crazy when basically every other arctic monkey's album is better.

I would love it if you both make your own top 100 lists or even top 10 to make it easier and guess each other’s lists on the show. It would be dope.

The way people feel about Taylor Swift fans I feel like is even more true about Beyoncé's fans. It feels like they force us to put her up there with the greatest artists of all time. She makes good pop/r&b music, but I don't feel like her music deserves that level of acclaim.

I will say, I just really like to hear you two talk about your own music histories. Graydon especially has a perspective on jazz/funk that you don't hear a lot of on Music KZfaq, and it's valuable

As a rock and metal guy, mostly I feel there are glaring omissions. No King Crimson right? Wild Pink Floyd - WYWH and Animals Yes - Close to the edge Iron Maiden - Number of the beast (I'd go Seventh Son personally) Judas Priest - Painkiller Slayer - Reign in Blood Megadeth - Rust in Piece SOAD - Toxicity (Hypnotize is my fav) Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Metallica - Ride the Lightning (I think both it and Master belong) Deep Purple - Machine Head Leonard Cohen - Songs of love and hate Nick Drake - Pink Moon Black Sabbath - Self Titled, Paranoid, Master of Reality. Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bullocks Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (OK that's it, I'll go insane adding more) I think all those could justifiably be put in the top 100.

Johnny Cash, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne, Funkadelics, Willy, Waylon, Simon and Garfunkel, Black Sabbath, sooo many artists that should have been here. Instead we got Bad Bunny lmaooo

The Downward Spiral has more than just one song I promise

Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen was snubbed

Apparently the folks at Apple are not prog rock fans. Sorry Genesis, Yes, Rush... also where the heck is Joy Division?

No Tame Impala album is quite literally insane. Currents is such an obvious pick.

no black sabbath is crazy

The fact björk's Vespertine isn't even MENTIONED is insane

Wish you were Here, Any Black Sabbath Album, Dirt - Alice in Chains, The Black saint and the sinner Lady - Charles Mingus are all major snubs, some other albums I personally would like to have seen and would absolutely derserve to be on here are Qotsa - Songs for the Deaf, Freddie Gibbs - Piñata and Promises - Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points

The indie snubs are really wild to me. No Fleet Foxes? No Vampire Weekend? NO BON IVER??? I thought s/t or 22, A Million would be shoe-ins.

Since I Left You - The Avalanches, Entroducing... - DJ Shadow and Donuts - J Dilla missing is so sad to see :(

My snubs: Mbv- loveless/mbv Title fight- shed/floral green Kendrick-tpab/damn Daft punk- random access memories Gorillaz-plastic beach/demon days And probably about a thousand more

I feel like Riley's point about The Swifties being the reason for Taylor in the top 20 explains more about the list than just that placement. There are a ton of contemporary female artists with rabid stanbases on this list (Taylor, SZA, Lana, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, etc.) who's inclusions ramp up interactions with the list due to back and forth online reactions of approval/outrage to those placements. Inclusion of other albums by currently popular artists (Bad Bunny, Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler, etc.) just make it more clear that this list exists predominantly to boost interactions via baiting fanbases rather than honestly gauge the history of popular music.

If we’re being real, there’s no way Paranoid by Black Sabbath doesn’t crack the top 100. It’s one of the first metal albums ever made, AND one which is iconic to this day.

Was not expecting graydon to just drop "Clics Modernos - Charly García" out of nowhere! "Artaud - Pescado Rabioso" would've been a fine mention too

I agree with my dad, who said there wasn’t nearly enough synth music, like Depeche Mode or New Order. He was happy with the Nine Inch Nails inclusion tho

Paul Simon Graceland is a definite snub

I really appreciate you guys talking about Clics Modernos! I'm from Argentina and that's one of my favorite albums of all time. Glad you enjoy it as well.

The black parade. Where is it Mr. apple?

Where is icedancer

as a lifelong Taylor Swift fan, I think she deserved an album on the list, but I don't think it should've been 1989 and I think whatever Taylor album was on the list should've been in the bottom 50

i also think ok computer is their 3rd best but saying fourth or fifth is a crazy take. I might have to blue your back out Riley

Riley’s TWEAKING calling ok computer their 4-5th best album

Nice to see Steely Dan and Kraftwerk. They both need more inclusion on lists like these.

I expected The Black Parade by MCR to make it there, that album is really good and it would be a good representation of that genre as a whole

The fact that In Rainbows, TPAB, and the fact DOOM wasnt even on the list legitimately is grounds for a fist fight

graydon said everything i was thinking about country not being on the list, down to red headed stranger being the obvious pick. I'd also include jolene, live at folsom prison, and the townes van zandt self titled at least

Thank fuck Riley mentioned Elliott smith (I am unbelievably biased)

Not having TPAB seems like they genuinely just forgot. Also Loveless by MBV should’ve been on there

i love how they put 36 chambers at 37. They had a perfect opportunity and didn't do shit with it. kinda representative of the whole list

Slipknot self titled was one of the most influential albums in nu metal as well as Joey Jordison being one of the most influential drummers. And toxicity by SOAD not being included blows my mind

would have loved to see at the drive in, the mars volta, danny brown, death grips, sophie or green day, was honestly shocked that there was no toxicity, hybrid theory or any of the first few black sabbath albums. a lot of artists were right to be on there but not the album i'd pick from them (kendrick, tyler, nirvana) also, the fame monster definitely belongs on the list, that album is 🔥 and surprisingly influential to the trajectory of popular music the past decade or so

For me, the crazy omission is Since I Left You by the Avalanches, the way that album flows and takes you to so many places makes it my favorite album to listen to front to back, its incredible

snubs for me: Simon & Garfunkel, The Kinks, The Who, The Police, Peter Gabriel, Any Motown act other than Stevie and Marvin, REM, and my #1 - Van Morrison.

Straight yorked my yoke to this. Thanks Graydon and Riley and Grant

I know you guys don't really do reaction videos to albums or artists, but it would be super cool to hear your thoughts on some world music that you might never have heard of. Maybe let your subscribers or the patreons submit an album from their country in their language and then take the time (cause it will take time lol) to listen to it and look at lyric translations and then do a bracket showdown of them or a tier list

One of the albums I thought of that I think absolutely deserves a spot somewhere on the list is Marquee Moon by Television. An absolute classic and perfect album.

WERE TF IS “THE SHAPE AND THE COLOUR” BY FOO FIGHTERS yes that is how Colour is spelt

Yellow desk bit being the end screen moment feels like a Marvel movie post credit scene that gets people excited for the next movie

ants from up there snubbed

This is such an interesting video because you can tell that Riley and Graydon are not doing bits. Don’t get me wrong. I love their bits, I am just glad to see them talking how they really feel.

This is going to be so good. I love you guys but I can’t handle many more long form videos about 2005-10 comedy movies right now 😭😭

No Queen, No Nina Simone, No James Brown, No Ray Charles, No Rammstein, No Johnny Cash, No Slayer. I can go on 😴

them thinking flower boy is tyler's best album and also it being so low is lowkey insane to me

Music has been around for so long that such lists are crazy to me. They should limit them, like best 100 albums from the 2010s, 00s because so much great music has been made recently that it's frustrating to constantly see the same albums over and over and over. Like yeah, abbey road is great, the chronic is great, purple rain is great but do I need to be reminded of that again?? So many good modern albums get snubbed because of our constant need to shoehorn the same 70 ones. It's okay to admit that the new generation makes good music too. And that will also serve as a great way to contrast how sound has changed over the years. Also, renaissance is beyonce's best album

Tbh im happy with #1 because I grew up on 90s R & B, so that would probably be my #1 too. Riley mentioning that this album was new for a lot of people was a shock to me tbh bc I've been listening to Lauryn Hill since I was a kid.

I’d love to hear your guys options on more stuff like this, and also doing more album reviews outside of rap would be awesome! With all this content yall are pumping out you need some ideas lol

Love the Todd Rundgren shout out! In a similar vein it would have been great to see Scott Walker on here, either the stellar 60s pop of Scott 3 or 4, or some of the nightmare fuel from his later trilogy

Sgt Pepper has been consistently considered the single greatest album of all time for decades and it didn’t even crack the top 100

Definitely not enough metal and punk represented on the list

When there was no Dolly I was done. Excuse me, Jolene by Dolly Parton one of the most recognizable albums and songs around the world is not on this list??? What??? Huh???

No shoegaze is crazy, but also NO post rock, post punk, electronic/IDM, plunderphonics, and ambient is wild considering how important these genres are and especially how influential some of the albums/artists from these genres like my bloody valentine and slowdive, GY!BE, mogwai, slint, sigur ros, swans, talk talk, joy division, wire, sonic youth, cocteau twins, the avalanches, J Dilla, Aphex twin, Boards of canada, Brian eno, Tim hecker, and more. Also only ONE prog rock album in this entire list and that’s dsotm which is disappointing considering how hugely important a genre it is and albums from bands like CAN, king crimson and genesis not being here are wild. Barely any funk/soul representation as well sadly, James brown and Parliament/Funkadelic absolutely needed to be on this list.

Just wanted to say I checked out the Labi Siffre album and holy shit what a hidden gem. That shit was so beautiful and thanks for mentioning it. Def a top 100 album of all time

can’t wait to watch hivemind talk about albums i’ve never heard of for 30 minutes

Im just shocked that ITCOTCK didnt show up on the list. Genuinely one of the most important rock albums ever recorded. Mixed rock, with jazz just perfectly. King Crimson needed to be there.

when do we get the Top 100 Albums of All Time as decided by the cast & crew of Hivemind??? unironically

Pink Floyd is probably my favorite band of all time and it always makes me a bit sad that Riley actively dislikes them.

I agree with a bunch of the picks riley and graydon said but id also like to say that while expected, this list had like absolutely no punk and metal albums here besides london calling and master of puppets. I get that these types of critics arent really big into these genres but there SHOULD have been some ones here. My picks would be for punk: My war by Black Flag (damaged could also do, but i think my war would start a more interesting conversation about the type of music that was inspired by it, like sludge metal, grunge and more) Static age by the misfits (classic classic album that gives u the best of early punk, the energy, attitude and songwriting are all in its peak form) Bad brains by bad brains (the quintessential hardcore punk album really that inspired every single person in that scene, it also has all this reggae genre fusion in it so it really could work as a critics choice. Also they are an all black punk so some more representation would be nice) Repeater by fugazi (if u wanna show a different and more progressive side of punk and the post hardcore scene, i think that this would be a really great pick. Fugazi are some of the most prolific musicians and their work outside of the music also is just as important REALLY should have been here imo since its also a critics pick) Jane doe by converge (this is a very critic bait album but for top 100 i understand that it might have been a bit much (especially since theres no heavy music here) but its a classic that really pushed the boundaries of heavy music and deserves to be here) Spiderland by slint (HOW IS THIS NOT ON THERE. Im not even the biggest slint fan but this is such a no brainer idk how this missed the list) Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead kennedys (fresh fruit could also work, dead kennedys are a must and if this was the only record of these on the list id be fine with it. Perfectly encapsulates the best things of the genre) For metal id say: Number of the beast by Iron Maiden (really one of the most iconic albums ever, from the cover to the songs its just really the essence of 80s metal and it should have been on the list) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black sabath (im putting this one here cause its my favorite but like... how is there no sabbath here thats crazy. I think their most deserving here would be paranoid or master of reality) Sound of persevearence by Death (this never would have made it but i think death def deserves to be in the conversation of having albums in the top 100 oat. Chuck was an incredible songwriter and their music hits a nerve that no other band rly does) Toxicuty by SOAD (Rage against the machine was here so ig that covered it but i think this album def deserves to be on the list, even if my fave is the debut) There are a lot more albums and bands that are just as deserving but i think this would cover a good ground. I dont think that theres a universe where all thess could have been in there but a few of these should have made the cut IMO to atleast acknowledge some others sides of music. All in all dignan had a gun on the executives face so the list was rigged

Long Season by Fishmans getting snubbed from the snubbed albums mentioned

My biggest personal snub was The Suburbs by Arcade Fire. Won album of the year over the Gaga album that’s on the list.

Am I psychotic for thinking Ten would be on the list? Pearl Jam??? Surprised me they didn’t slip it in for it’s sheer impact on grunge

Labi Siffre is alive and well bud! Agree he deserves a place on this list and that's my fave album of his too. But he's still very much in the present tense, there's time to give him his flowers 💐

Having seen Bruce in concert two weeks ago, he is 76 and can go for 4 hours. Fantabulous

Biggest snubs are Astral Weeks(Van Morrison), TPAB & one more Dylan album (BOTT or Blonde on Blonde)

Im not that into country, but no Dolly, Johnny or Willie is kind of nuts.

Where is the 80's synth music? No Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode or New Order? Just include one of their classic albums for that sound gets some representation.

I do think you're underrating the impact of 1989, but I absoutely agree that it's insanely high.

Clics Modernos was such a deep cut pick, I was definitely expecting an Os Mutantes/ Gal Costa/Caetano Veloso-type shout from Graydon but he's always shocking me with how deep he pulls from
