100 Fiona Apple The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do Seven years after her previous album, Apple’s return sidelined her orchestral trademarks for an austere, homespun sound that exposed her insular lyrics even more starkly. Listen to the album.
Coldplay, Muse, Mumford&Sons? 🤔
Where is beachhouse? teendream and bloom are actually perfect albums.
Not feeling Amy Winehouse at 1. No way Kendrick, Kanye, PJ, Bjork, LCD Soundsystem and Frank Ocean are behind her. Kendrick and Kanye 1 and 2.
Out of the 100 I have only one of those albums (Blackstar by Bowie). I like Charli XCX but Pop 2 is inferior to True Romance and Sucker.
not ONE Mariah Carey album?! Whoever compiled this list is a psychopath
This list = 🗑
YASSSSS
Where? Rush of blood, Coldplay? McCartney's Chaos & Creation in the backyard? Muse? SPINVIS!? I mean, come on!
Where is The Incident by Porcupine Tree and Clockwork Angels by Rush? A dearth of rock on this list. What about Egypt Station? American Idiot? On an Island?
80% of the 21st century hasn’t even happened yet? How cockamamie is such a list?
deeque73
I miss Hot Fuss on the list 😓😭
Number 1 is 100% correct! Good job
How can silent alarm not even make the top 100
This list is literally perfect. Back to back number one, frank Ocean on there 3 times, Lana del Rey, MIA twice. I'm impressed.
What an absolutely horrible list of 100 albums from an 18-year period. There are only about ten titles on the list which even deserve consideration for such a list. Truly pathetic.
I stopped reading after you ranked Drake’s ‘Take Care’ above Madvilliany
Wow....who compiled your list 🥺
lemonade beyonce
1989 is the 21st century?
Any or all of the remastered Led Zeppelin albums released this century.
Sea Change, Beck. Luna, The Aliens. Lost Horizons, Lemon Jelly.
I agree on No 1, but man half of these would belong in my “who?” file. Some of these groups were big in the 1980s but where are the Metal albums? You can’t honestly say no good metal records came out: Anthrax “Worship Music” and Accept “Blood of the Nations” were bloody awesome
This list is good but not the best. Many iconic films and masterpieces are missing from the list like Schindler’s list and Byscle thief... how come is not there
Appreciate that these lists won’t always cater to everyone tastes and won’t include *everything* but Midlake’s Trial of Van Occupanther really should be here. Nice to see Deftones and At the Drive In here though 👍
Before reading: Amy Winehouse will undoubtedly be excessively high on this list. Just take a breath and let it be
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not a chance.
Typical mainstream music snobbery.
Only one of them in my collection! Surprised it is that many!
Before reading article, hoping to see The Dears, Ulrika Spacek or Thee Oh Sees. Fingers crossed.
What`s the score with all The Killers fans piling in? They`re not there because they stink, pure dog meat
Wtf surprisingly fantastic list
Why hasn't [insert not very good album] made the list? boycotttheguardian
Oh god I am officially old. I have only ever owned/ downloaded 7 of these 😱
Where’s Killing Joke
Appalling list.
Hot Fuss?
No thekillers but you have got Britney Spears!!! 🤦🏻♂️ Facepalm City, population one!
What a piss poor list !!!! You’d expect nothing more from music snobs and left wing Guardian writers.
Came to tell you you forgot thekillers ... But so glad to see soooo many people reminded you. Hot Fuss and Sam's Town are undeniable 21st century game changers.
Hot Fuss is probably one of the most iconic albums of the 21st century and Mr Brightside one of the most popular songs. But it doesn’t get in the top 100!
The Strokes in number 2, it isn't jokes?
Melodrama?
where’s Melodrama
No hot fuss or Sam's town?
We can forgive Alex
We have to stan harder
Hot Fuss ffs
Adele don’t give em interviews
Hmm 21
and imagine over looking the obviously influential STRIPPED by the talented xtina for her trashy lip synching rival I just cant with this bs...do they have ears
No Julia Holter? ☹️
1. Best does not mean most influential. 2. Where's Bon Iver's self-titled record? 3. Why do you publish this list now? 4. El inglés no es la única lengua en el siglo XXI.
It would have been far better to let one writer produce his/her wholly subjective list and argue their case rather than publish this LCD hotchpotch
Oh dear. Lists are always both silly and contentious but this one misses the mark in so many ways.
You put Lana on the list but not Lorde. Trash.
I’m sorry but to have a list of the 21st century and not have any albums like Hot Fuss or Sam’s Town by The Killers I feel totally makes your list lose merit, Amy Whinhouse isn’t just number 1, but has 2 albums on the list, unreal.
Hot Fuss? To Lose My Life? Up The Bracket?
Fijación oral/oral fixation... 🙄
Bullshit
Hot fuss?
Amy Winehouse number one? Fuck off. Valerie was a cover of a Zutons song, a bad cover at that and she sang about not going to rehab
Seriously - still doing this in the 21st C?
No they're really not, thekillers should be on this list
How on earth have thekillers or twentyonepilots not made this list? The billion view mark on YouTube mustn't be the indicator I thought?!
Damn Cynthia, are you drunk?
Konichiwa by Skepta for me should be up there Fearless, Speak Now and Red are all better albums than 1989 for Taylor Swift
Where’s Placebo, Goldfrapp? Who’s made up this list?
45 music writers and none of them bothered to mention The Killers’ Hot Fuss?
Green Day’s American Idiot? Adele’s 21?
The Good The Bad and the Queen?
Do you have theholdsteady's Separation Sunday on there? Get back to me...and I might consider clicking. Thanks
Adele's 21 and 25
Not bad overall but no mention of Disclosure, Mac Miller or Solange in this is outrageous.
Only this week I was thinking how much better thekillers Hot Fuss is than The Strokes Is This It? Yet one is number 2 and the other isn't even listened. Subjective I guess or maybe it proves most people can't be trusted to make an informed choice.
This list does not include any Madonna album? This list does include very good albums, I will admit, but honestly Madonnna´s COADF is better than some in there. Next time please do better.
I guess The Guardian hasn’t heard of grizzlybear 🤔
Who made that list? Most probably not from experts or notable music industry people. Is this the tabloid writers' best album list?
Love Great Music SoulFood :)
Remember guys, music, like any artform is subjective 👍
I don't see any Grandaddy, Doves, or Super Furry Animals albums. Lame.
Fkn Amy Winehouse
What does this even mean Who gets to decide what is the best music...
I don’t what Britney Spears and Taylor Swift are doing in here. Even Carly Rae Japsen has created more meticulous and interesting pop records than those two. Also where are In Rainbows, The Suburbs, Flower Boy and Daytona?
Not saying these aren't great albums, but these lists are just stupid on account of music being totally subjective. None of my top 10 of the 21st century are on there for no reason other than I have different taste. Just listen to what you like people.
Natabaalo No adele edsheeran or BrunoMars And Amy on number one Come on.
oof
where is Lorde?
The 21st Century Started in 2001. Is it ok to add albums issued in 2000 to this ranking?🤔
lamb_chris1
Lol not the best list. Where’s Eminem show? One of the best albums lyrically and financially
I know everyone has a different opinion, but....
3 MBDTF
No Tom Waits? He couldn’t crack the top 100. Shameful.
A weird list that doesn’t have AM from Arctic Monkeys - the best rock album this century. Nor American Idiot, second best rock album.
Good no 1 choice
Seriously?
Shame 'Want' by rufuswainwright didn't make it or 'Praise & Blame' by RealSirTomJones, epic albums, but a good list.
Agreed with much more of this list than the Movies one from a couple days ago.
This list is so Anglo-American. And Amy Winehouse at number 1? Really? 🙄
Where's Adele 21 ? Am I missing something ?
themusicpimp
If you have nothing to do as a journalist, you will start making lists again. Dear god what a bitter poverty.
Did i miss Wilco?!
In Rainbows is not in the top ten. This list is hereby rendered obsolete.
Thanks for including lilyallen and LanaDelRey !!! Marina,Melanie Martinez and Banks should've been mentioned.
Queens of the Stone Age... Black Keys? I think this is lacking in good rock albums, and there were many....
mennopot I would put a bit more White Men's Indie in it, but the list does make sense.
imsasusele luz_nur6
AlbumDayUK Back to Black? Are they serious? It's a pretty good E.P at best. And Britney higher than Antony & the Johnson's? Give me a break. And my choice would be Rare Birds by Jonathan Wilson.
Keane's 'Hopes and Fears' !!!!
Charlie XCX, jesus wept
hmm awful
Umm too much auto tune rap in there. And not enough Biffy Clyro Only Revolutions.
The 21st century isn't even over yet.
21st Century? It's only 2019 you silly people.
21 by Adele 👌
The lack of respect shown to Turn on the Bright Lights is a disgrace.
Any 21st century list without MidlakeBand Trials of Von Occupanther is preposterous. Kasabian’s debut album? None of Ian Brown’s solo albums? remhq Reveal? thecharlatans Wonderland Honestly😡
You Want It Darker- Leonard Cohen's last album, written under the shadow of death, is missing. Bob Dylan's 'Love & Theft' & 'Modern Times' shld be here
As soon as I saw Konono no.1, I new this list was legit.
we been knew that y'all are biased and lowkey racist, like erm why is GodGa so low, and that MEDICORE KERI HILSON REJECT MATERIAL circulating the top 40. the rihanna slander, no mention of christina aguilera or nicki minaj or lil kim.
There’s so much wrong with that list.
2 Grimes albums and 2 MIA albums 👍, I love the list
we are gonna read and DISAGREE.
Definitely not. This list needs a complete overall.
Missing someone. trent_reznor
The avalanches should have been number 1 also Ruby Blue (Roisin Murphy) desearved to be at least in the top 10 😿
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I bought Back to Black played it once and threw it in the bin: what a heap of junk. Ignore this list. American Idiot is and probably always will be the album of the decade.
Le XXIe siècle a commencé le 1 janvier 2001. Still, thank you.
No QueensChristine No scissorsisters No KateBushMusic No point
Stripped by xtina ❓❓❓❓❓❓
😂😂😂The Rising by springsteen is not included in this. An Album written in response to the aftermath of the biggest event of the 21st century. Need to rethink this one lads!
'Music writers'. Ha! Bitter little arseholes. Maybe ask musicians and people who actually work in the industry next time rather than people who simply crtitique it.
No coldplay? Parachutes was definitely their best album; Honorable mentions: A Rush of Blood to the head, Viva la Vida, Ghost Stories and X&Y
Winehouse? Ridiculous
Here in advance for the replies
You really gonna ignore lorde & the1975 like that.
Adele's 21 is nowhere to be found in the list. Maybe you all overpraised that album too much. 👌👌
