Albums, ranked like I rank my friends

Ranked list by Zoe Marlowe · 20 items · 0 likes

Rap and pop are over-represented and I will not fix it. I rank by how many songs I would skip, which is none for the top ten.

  1. Illmatic 1994

    Ten tracks, and not one of them wastes a bar.

  2. To Pimp A Butterfly 2015

    Needs a few listens, then it takes over.

  3. Thriller 1983

    Nine songs, seven singles, no weak track.

  4. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 2006

    One record, and she changed what rap and soul could be.

  5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 2010

    Overstuffed on purpose, and it works.

  6. Lemonade 2016

    A break-up told as one continuous story.

  7. Blonde 2016

    Quiet, strange, and the best late-night record.

  8. The College Dropout 2004
  9. good kid, m.A.A.d city 2013
  10. Purple Rain 2005

    Every song sounds like a live set.

  11. Abbey Road 2019
  12. Rumours 1977
  13. The Chronic 2023
  14. Back to Black 2006
  15. Reasonable Doubt 1997
  16. channel ORANGE 2012
  17. The Dark Side of the Moon 1973

    Not my genre, but I admit the structure.

  18. Pet Sounds 2023
  19. Graduation 2007
  20. folklore 2020
