the vast majority of TV is extremely bad in a way that is not the case with music, and it makes lists like those very weird to scan. A list of the 100 greatest albums will never have anything as dogshit as Ted Lasso, Homeland, or Stranger Things

like imagine a 100 Best Albums list where a full quarter are actively awful: Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons, Maroon 5, and then another quarter are extremely divisive picks that half the listeners hate. There are EASILY 100 universally beloved albums.

> There are EASILY 100 universally beloved albums. Are you joking? I get the broader point, but no, this part isn’t true.

Umm, the list is TV shows since 2000s. The music equivalent would be full of the acts you mentioned.

Of course there aren’t 100 universally beloved albums from the past 25 years lol.

I mean, it's easier to make a great album than it is to make a consistently great TV show.

You acting like this infeasible and has never ever happened is genuinely hilarious to me but I think you’re serious and now that I think about it that makes this funnier

Counterpoint: music tends to engender groupthink in a way that long-form TV doesn’t. A small group of people decide what is the *good* music and then information cascade causes everyone else to go along with that.

Ed Sheeran's Divide album is an objectively great album. You can't impose your judgement on many other people just because you have different tastes

Dude, for half of the albums you'd think are easy 10/10s, there are surely lots of people who don't like them at all. Some people are just more opinionated and less flexible with their tastes in one medium compared to another.

I actually don't have to imagine. If the equivalent of a Beyonce album topped the greatest TV list , you might have had a point. rollingstone.com/music/music…

The 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far

The best albums of 21st century so far, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Radiohead, Lady Gaga, and more

I think if I was given a full year I couldn't come up with but more importantly get behind a full 100 picks but that's just me

I mean, I think internecine fights over whether Revolver vs Sgt Pepper, Thriller v Bad, Like a Prayer vs Ray of Light, etc are going to be far less contentious than whether, say, Fleabag is actually a good show

This was a tv list for the 21st century. The music list would all be pretty much what you just said.

the vast majority of books are also dogshit if you count every single "dollar store checkout isle" piece of shit. This is a meaningless statement.

Ted Lasso was good at the beginning but Ed Sheeran only made one good song: The A Team
