I mean, this is the best album of the century. It's just so epic and singular, there's really no competition. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2025]

"All My Friends" is the best song of the decade, and a serious contender for my favorite song of all time. The rest is far from slacking, either. Just 9 perfect dancefloor songs. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2025]

They really did it. They made a perfect album. The "Last Nite" through "New York City Cops" run is INSANE. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2025]

It's her best album, probably, though Homogenic does have the better songs. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2025]

Overrated and overhated. It's still a masterpiece, even if it's not THE best rock album of the century. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2025]

I always like lists with added notes even if some of the albums aren't of a genre I'm into. It adds a personal touch. Good stuff
