    Is Animal Collective on there? I would’ve put money on that being the representative for 00-10s 4rk core

    Although idk if burial made it it’s hard to argue against stuff like Sufjan and bon iver (did bon iver make it? Don’t think so right)

    Surprised Dookie isn't there. And looking at the best-selling albums of all time, no Shania Come On Over feels like an omission if they're playing the influential card for some of these given it set the blueprint for Taylor.

    Controversial but I feel like the black parade could’ve had a late spot in the 80’s or 90’s tier

    Yeah, that's right, no Bon Iver.

    There is one album on this entire list that you could call "country." One. Not that I was expecting more, but it's a little bit wild considering how much country has broken into the mainstream in the past two years.

    I legitimately thought people were kidding about Kacey musgraves lmfao. Also sorry but flower boy shouldn’t be on there I love Tyler but nah. Wolf if anything but even then, pushing it. My biggest agreement with a controversial pick is take care, fuck drake but that albums absolutely belongs here imo

    When we thought this was one album per artist I was so excited that Beyoncé’s s/t was picked. Her best record and we’re not pretending it’s one of the tip top albums ever. Sure jumped the gun there
