Apple Music put together a list of the '100 Best Albums,' and it did not follow its old advice to 'Think Different.' The list, which was released in chunks culminating with the announcement of the top 10 Wednesday, would not look out of place in Rolling Stone, Time, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, New Music Express, The Source, Spin or any of the myriad other publications that have taken a stab at this idea over the years. 'Nevermind'? No. 9.

Legendary producer Jermaine Dupri criticized the list on Tuesday, writing on the social media site X that it was 'sad' and 'not worthy' and 'the disrespect to R&B is CRAZY!!!!!' A few years ago, music critics would have debated whether a list like this had fallen victim to 'rockism,' the belief that pop music is not as important as four guys with guitars and black leather jackets.
