Crazy how not a single Prince album was mentioned
it is also like a one minute short
Purple Rain is a masterpiece
theres only 5 answers here
I wouldn't consider Prince to be "pop," since he uses everything from soul to rock.
@@azalago True but he does have some pop
my 5 picks for the best pop albums of all time:
1) Purple Rain - Prince
2) Charli - Charli XCX
3) Post - Bjork
4) Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
5) Violator - Depeche Mode
The Charli is great but people need to chill with GOAT allegations. The recency bias is immense and if it’s a top 5/10 to you then imo you should diversify your collection.
I don’t know how Charli XCX is even in the conversation. Purple Rain and Violator yes.
this was already perf and this was pre brat era
You can add brat to that now
how tf u gon add charli xcx in top 5 and NOT fucking MJ?????????? WHEN HE'S LITERALLY CALLED THE "KING OF POP" ?????(no offense to charli tho, love her)
purple rain and hounds of love
same exact two picks
Both are absolutely GOATed
Also vespertine like I feel like these albums were mandatory picks for this
Purple rain is mostly a rock album?
@@blender3935verspertine isn’t even Bjorks top 3.
songs from the big chair is a W
Great choice.
Confessions on the Dance Floor
Masterpiece but not even Madonna's best work
UR COOKING
@@DefenseOnTitanwhat do u think is her best ?
@sydneii music is personal but it's probably Like a prayer, or Ray of light
@@DefenseOnTitan True Blue is up there too
plastic beach being included makes me happy
The first three Gorillaz albums set such a high standard. Hasn't been the same since unfortunately.
EMOTION by Carly Rae Jepsen deserves to be in the honorable mentions at the very least, complete record from front to back and the B-sides are outstanding
Facts
immaculate album
B sides better but yea
why would you say something so controversial yet so brave
Bruh tell me one time at school one of my hb asked me what i was listening to and i told i wasn't listening to anything i just had my headphones in and he grabs my headphones and puts them on i was so embarrassed and he was so surprised i was listening to Carly rae jepson
the fame monster is a 10/10, its a literal perfect album, no skips at all
Monster
It’s hard to disagree. I wanna give it like a 9.5. Very few pop albums sound better
So...teeth is not a skip?
i could live without Teeth and Speechless being there, so that's 6 out of 8 songs
@@EntrEsprit the fame monster is the entire album, both sides
Don't listen to a lot of pop, but here's what I love (not in any order):
Songs From the Big Chair- tears for fears
Purple Rain- Prince and the Revolution
Thriller- Michael Jackson
Pet Sounds- Beach Boys
After Hours- The Weeknd (Not only pop, but it has some pop songs so I count it)
Future Nostalgia- Dua Lipa
Great shouts
I think Thriller has provided more pleasure to my ear than any other record. The aesthetic of Michael Jackson as a mysterious, streetwalking character in the album and in the videos also enriches the experience deeply. 10/10 for me
Facts
true that Thriller is a pop perfection
Exactly how is bro saying Off the Wall is a better album that has some real junk on it like Girlfriend and Its the Falling In Love
@@brodjefferson3513thriller also has that girl is mine. A lead single
dude thriller into beat it into billie jean... can't think of a better run in any pop album
Teenage dream by Katy Perry it's literally the epitome of pop
That blows any Gaga album out of the water. That’s a decent choice if I would even put something post 2000 on such a list.
Tears for fears first two album are some of my favourites of any genre.
2 of the most under appreciated albums of all time
Everybody Wants To Rule The World is literally my favorite song of all time. Goated album, goated group.
Both great, but The Hurting > Songs from the Big Chair.
@@b00dyc0untabsolutely, the hurting has no skips
big chair and seeds of love 🙏🏿
Purple Rain deserves to be on the list. Love Prince now and forever
Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion!
Britney Spears' Blackout for me. But also Marina's Electra Heart, that album is the masterpiece of its time, maybe one day more people will get it
Thank you, someone giving Marina some love!
Electra Heart isn’t that good, her debut and Froot are way better
@@f4gsforpele yeah it's not that good, it's actually amazing, it has no skips, great concept, great lyrics, amazing vocal performances, it's pop perfection ✨
@@lovelyy6491 it’s not, the production has aged like milk, the themes are redundant, yes the vocals are good but the super 2012-sounding overdone instrumentals don’t really suit her vocal style all that well…I would expect more from a Björk stan
@@f4gsforpeleWdym Electra Heart beats Froot anyday
It has to be a Michael record, if for no other reason than just how iconic the singles are.
it doesnt have to be anything. the world is your oyster
I don’t like Michael Jackson he is annoying to me. Just my opinion. I find it really annoying that everyone thinks that thriller is the best album of all time because I really don’t like it. I also just am not a fan of a lot of older music
@@MTrevor1016k
@@MTrevor1016Nobody said Thriller is the best album of all time. This is what they think the best pop album of all time is.
@@wozaow in other videos I’ve heard it to. Even so I don’t like it at all
um Madonna had 2 released two of the greatest albums of the 90s before Ray of Light, Erotica and Bedtime Stories are two of the greatest albums of the 90s. Erotica was groundbreaking and a revolutionary album
Not to mention her first album is damn good. True Blue and Like a Prayer are also insanely good. The Fame Monster can’t touch damn near any Madonna album. Telephone ain’t all that and it’s the second best single on that EP. Give me Live to Tell or Express yourself over Bad Romance while we’re at it.
I agree with that. Very underrated albums.
Erotica is one of my fav albums of all time
i think confessions on a dance floor is her sonic magnum opus *runs away
George Michael’s Faith is not to be forgotten. Father Figure, Faith, Kissing A Fool, I Want Your Sex, and One More Try. It’s a masterpiece of pop.
An amazing album and an amazing songwriter. But I would even put Listen Without Prejudice Vol. I over that. I wouldn’t dare but anything past Back to Black on a Best album of All Time list. Sorry but there’s just nothing that amazing after that album.
No Pet Sounds is crazy
As far as modern pop goes, I think Britneys "In The Zone" is a bit underrated, even with it containing 'Toxic'. It flows well but also breaches into some nice experiments here and there, be that her vocals, lyrics or instrumentally.
preach
I don’t know how modern that album is as it’s 21 years old. I do think it’s HER best work but I just don’t find Britney to be musically or lyrically that compelling to be on a best for all time list.
I'm such a Blackout stan, I just have to go with that. You could argue no mainstream pop album predicted the shape of pop to come the way Blackout did. And given how low of a point that was for Britney, just like all the abuse from the media and her family, and that it was the album she had the most production input on, it's just hard not to be impressed with it. Piece of Me floors me every time
Omg yes its so damn good
exactly, every song is a hit, that album is honestly incredible. Break The Ice is probably my favorite dance pop song of all time
@103.5Heavener had to ask my brother about the Mario comparison and he said it's accurate lmaokjk it's an amazing song
Circus is better tho
I love blackout!!
How was Pet Sounds not on there The best pop song of all time is on there
I'd consider it "Pop Adjacent" of its time
Yes... best Pop album ever..
Which is?
@@gregperez-greene7408God Only Knows is what the OP was referring to. And it makes sense. Genius composition. Lyrics aren't the greatest ever, but they work well within a 2 and a half minute song. Paul McCartney said it was one of the best songs, too.
Future Nostalgia
Tapestry by Carole King has to be up there
My picks would be:
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Nina Simone - Pastel Blues
Bjork - Homogenic
SOPHIE - Pearl of Every Person's Un-insides
Madonna - Ray of Light
Madonna - Confessions on the Dancefloor
Yes to Madonna, although Confessions isn’t as strong as Like a Prayer, Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue, Like a Prayer, Erotica, or Bedtime Stories. Yes to Homogenic and Back to Black is as recent as I would go in conversation about greatest albums of all time.
My personal favourite is Dangerous by MJ
FR! Dangerous better then bad,thriller and off the wall
True Blue. Period.
Hell YES
Frick yes
melodrama so easily for me, one of the albums i like w no skips
Exactlyyyy
I love most of the songs on that album- I mean LOVE them, but I think there’s two or three skips tbh.
No skips on after laughter tho
@@tuckerwoodson4134what r ur skips?
1. Ziggy Star Dust or Aladdin Sane
2. Revamped by Demi
3. The Fame Monster
4. Dreamland by Glass Animals
Gotta love that songs from the big chair take. Every of those 8 tracks are great!!!
Thriller and Purple Reign, respectively. Love the Plastic Beach pick, Damon Albarn (Gorillaz) is a creative genius.
Glad he likes Tears for Fears. I haven’t heard him talk about them before.
Why do you care if he likes it its not stopping you from liking it
@@shocko77 Because it’s normal for someone to like an opinion that agrees with theirs.
@@mr.noride7226 sure
Born This Way
he hates this album, probably a homophobia issue??? like whats there to hate about it
And ARTPOP
@24kgoldplatedvermeilthere was a video where he spoke about bad cover art for good albums and ‘born this way’ was featured in it. who knows, opinions may change.
@24kgoldplatedvermeil yes, either that or TikTok. It all blends together. But either way he views her drastically different now. I think he respects her more as an artist.
The Fame Monster is her best track for track tbh
Prince - Purple Rain. No questions asked, still the most cohesive, mind blowing, energetic, and dynamic pop music to have ever been released even 40 years after the album dropped. As a Gen Z adult who grew up with it thanks to Gen X parents, that album legitimately transcends time and will never not be relevant ❤
Madonna's Ray of Light is a 10 💫🎶💯
It’s a damn 12
Art Angels
Not even lying: Melodrama by Lorde (haven’t watched the vid yet - sorry if it was mentioned!)
based wording
he gave it a seven lol
@@unacuentadeyoutube13 yeah, I know :(
Mr. Melon been to a few cookouts with that (honest) Thriller take.
From off the wall and onto the table of fresh slices 🍉 I give this a serving of a *_light to decent_** 8* .
For, Fleetwood's *Tango in the Night* & Prince's *Purple Rain* are worth mentioning.
Blackout aka The Fame's mother
Usually a mother isn’t 10 months older that its daughter.
The Fames mother is LAMB tbh. Blackout, while i love, is given waaaaay too much credit. Especially considering the sole journalist who put the innovative label on it is a Britney stan. Rob Sheffield of RS. Blackout is Britneys best album and its great, but it was very of its time. And the music itself was not influential, what was influential was the entire tabloid vibe and the way Britney personified it entirely. Britney herself has influenced Gaga and The Fame but sonically The Fame is not entirely indebted to Blackout lol
i’m so confused what’s his favorite madonna record if not ray of light???
Like a Prayer
@@gabrielhenrique8012 where did u get that
@@gabrielhenrique8012I’ll agree with that but Ray of light is more accessible for today’s mind.
Not fantano but my fav is True Blue lol. She has so many albums it could be anyone.
For me....Ray Of Light by Madonna ❤
1989 and EMOTION? Those are undebatably top 2.
Thriller feels like a hit compilation
Hounds of Love
Vespertine
Charli
Sooo Fantano core but big W
What is with people and Vespertine? Debut, Post, and Homogenic, in that order. I would go back to Sugarcubes before I picked Vespertine.
Pretty much any Beatles album. I'll go with Sgt. Peppers, but pretty any of their albums (outside of Yellow Submarine) could be the best.
Might depend on what you consider pop, I'd throw in Hard Day's Night if we could go that far back
Songs in the Key of Life, no question
Pet Sounds is the greatest ever pop record. Few albums move me more than that.
Off the wall
Wasn't expecting the tears for fears love but I'm about it
Could have a top 3 of Tears For Fears, New Order, and Pet Shop Boys.
I would say E-MO-TION by Carly Rae Jepsen
It's. Melodrama for me or Adele's 21 if we consider it a Pop record
Tbh any Nancy Ajram record is peak arabic pop, if you wanna diversify your music start there
Thanks for the recommendation!
For me glory days by lm I absolutely adore that album and it’s my happy place. It’s fine if other don’t agree I just really love it, oh and 1989 by ts, both of those are my go to for pip albums ❤
Charli - Charli XCX
is it better than thriller ??
I prefer Pop 2 though
@@_britneyspears me too
Curious what Madonna’s album is the best for him.
I think Like a Prayer is more of his vibe.
Music surely?
We should ask him, never has done a review of her albums
Lorde with Melodrama, just flawless
yes 100%
That's a good record for people who have a hard time sleeping
@@Negativ3_ for ppl who have a hard time sleeping because theyre heartbroken
Not a pop listener at all but i like Electra heart 😊
Depeche Mode - Violator
The Sundays - Reading, Writing & Arithmetic
Love the Violator pick, but it’s not pop.
@@b00dyc0unt I think it counts as pop :)
loveee the sundays
@@LISE_NR Yay! 'Sup fellow Sundays fan 👋
@@b00dyc0unt everything counts in large amounts
Help! The Beatles
Purple Rain.
Electra Heart - Marina
It’s gotta be Purple Rain
The fame monster is the only album that is next to mj in every aspect. Its great and everone loved it, swear to god it had like 10 hits that played everywhere. Its pop, so being big and popular is always a part of it
Michael Jackson?!! Heck NO
Idk if this is a underrated take but for me its Different Class by Pulp. I had one of the best feelings ever listening to the album and "Common People" is still to me the greatest Britpop song ever
These kids don’t know about Brit Pop they think Gorillaz would register when Blur is better not to mention Suede and Pulp. People here are throwing out Marina and the Diamonds and Dua Lipa!
Ray of light is a Masterpiece
No Pet Sounds? And yes I am that one Beach Boys fanatic
No, that’s me
@@nikokaapa nah, I have a beach boys tattoo 😎
@@UsedYourIllusion alright you win this round… I’ll be back
I’m certain songs from the big chair deserves the title to be honest. Excellent album, a staple of the 80s and still to this day, with some very underrated tracks
Sprout - Steve Mcqueen
Violator not being on here is in and of itself a violation
Sweetener By AG
Ray of Light for me by far, and second would be Confessions On a Dance Floor
Yea, her top 3 are Confessions, Ray of Light and Like a Prayer.
You could argue True Blue too. Madonna discog is phenomenal. Queen of Pop for a reason
@@mrmxyzptlk8906 True Blue has such. Great sound!
You should re-do your 'born this way' album review which you did just like chappell's
Still can't believe you uploaded that back then
IGOR. First of all, Tyler himself stated that this wasn't rap or rnb, but a pop album. Unique, original production, and very interesting and unique storytelling.
"whoops i called the tweet a thread" very smooth melon, very smooth
was it supposed to be a 4chan reference??
In terms of Pop, in the name, Off the Wall works best since it has Don't stop...enough, and probably turned the world of disco and mo-town to pop from that song.
The CD/streaming Voulez-Vous is perfection à l'ABBA
The Fame Monster is up there for sure. Every song on that album could be a single.
Then she would have had more than four singles from it. Alejandro wasn’t all that and Dance in the Dark was a single but who knew?
@@taintedlife2618 In fairness to dance in the dark gaga more or less paid that song dust
@@taintedlife2618 Alejandro is easily one of the best pop songs to come out of the 2010’s lol
This is probably a little inside baseball for non-aussies but Kick by INXS takes the cake for me. So many iconic songs and stands up to some of the best pop albums of all time on a single by single basis.
A great album and the sexiest band of all time besides Depeche Mode.
Emotion, it’s a classic
ABCs Lexicon of Love is my favorite. Literally catchy and excellently produced banger after another. Zero skips.
An amazing album! These kids today have no concept.
"Thriller" has some of the greatest pop songs of all time, but is not a cohesive album. It's just a bunch of great singles smashed together.
capsule - fruits clipper is one of my favs. extremely catchy, creative, and i feel was pretty ahead of its time
If we are strictly talking on traditional pop, it definitely goes to BEHAVIOUR BY PET SHOP BOYS. If we can count Dream pop, I’d instantly say “Blue Bell Knoll” by Cocteau Twins.
Ngl but thats a first time where pet shop boys is mentioned in same sentence as traditional pop
Love the Pet Shop Boys, but that's not what traditional pop means.
Traditional pop is stuff like Frank Sinatra.
@@maztergamer1016 its more traditional than acts like Kero Kero bonito. I get what u mean tho
@@ttt7337jjj Yeah, but traditional isn't really the word I'd use. I generally think of dream pop as alt rock anyway, which is also what it's classified as on RYM.
Pet Shop Boys’ run in the 80s into the early 90s is untouchable; and even then, they still put out very quality records beyond that. Fundamental and Electric are some of my favorite albums of theirs
Purple rain facts
Glad Off The Wall at least received a shout out
Kylie Minogue X and Tove Lo Lady Wood imo
Bit of a weird choice but I think either Please or Actually by Pet Shop Boys are decent choices.
I would love to see you do a classic review for Ray of Light, it's easily Madonna's best album so far.
Where is Hounds of Love?
Purple fucking rain
1000 forms of fear is goated and underrated
Definitely
Abbey Road 100%
Tapestry - Carole King
No "Hounds of Love" mention is crazy
I mean thriller is right there
Probably Pet Sounds, Charli and Glory Sound Prep honorable mentions but I feel they’re too recent to say so
Thank you for the Tears for Fears love, Songs from the Big Chair is one of my most beloved records
Its Hounds of Love, no question.
It's So by Peter Gabriel btw
