And we have the complete list...

Michael Jackson's Thriller at N° 2 It's ok.

Abbey Road should be at N° 1. The Lauryn Hill album should be at N° 3 indeed.

Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet should had a place in the list. Also Michael Jackson's Bad.

There are many unknown albums that seriously never heard of.

And finally, Bad Bunny? Seriously?
"Bad" is better than at least 75 of the albums on the list 👍🏼
 
Like many, I was pretty surprised/disappointed with some of the selections and exclusions. On a list of 100 albums, no Police, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Rush, Johnny Cash, Genesis, Elvis...only one Zeppelin album. But I'll choose to look at it like a list of restaurant recommendations. Some are my personal favorites. Some I've been to and didn't like. Some I've never been to, but they're of a style I don't really care for. And others I might consider trying for the first time...
 
and also because there is sooo much more music than just "english" music.
EXACTLY!!! Around 30-40% of the music I listen to is non-English. And that’s just music that I’m personally familiar with, I don’t even know how much I’ve never been exposed to from cultures where I don’t have the experience and languages.
Also, frankly, just way too many artists from this decade. WHILE I love LOTS of ‘new’ artists, do I really think they are better than ALL that came in the past 100-300 years?! LOL, no. I’m not that shortsighted, despite the fact that I generally DO listen to newer music on a day-to-day basis.

I won’t even comment on some of the so-called ‘artists’ on this list—they might be big sellers and relevant in their limited audience groups…but world-class-of-all-time??? No.
