Apple Music Posts Albums #60-51 on Instagram: "Ten more game-changing records round out the first half of #100BestAlbums. Which has been your favorite so far?"

I wonder if Apple will release a complete list of the people they asked to send in lists for this…

Either way, this is because the people sending in the lists have different tastes. Like, I think everyone sent in a list of their favorite albums/the greatest ones in their opinion, and that means that some genres had a small mass of votes from one block, while other albums would have a chunk of votes from a different block. Like, I imagine that, because of how rock has been in a downward slump for a while, there weren’t as many rock-first voters here. (Which is a problem, and is also seemingly one with R&B… not looking forward to seeing what beats D’Angelo)

And like… in theory when compiling a list like this, you could try to be objective… but what’s the point in doing that? I prefer a “best list” where you can see the stitchings, or where (if one person made the list) you can see their specific taste in it instead of “trying to throw in the consensus greatest hits”
