I get the impression that youngsters today are getting their musical pleasure from very different things than we did. They appear to like familiarity in music rather than innovation. And I also get the feeling that music is not as important to them as it was to us. They have a wide range of things to enthuse them, whereas we had far less. Something has radically changed about musical appreciation in this century. I think I liked about five albums out of that 250. It was good to see Kid-A at number 2 though. Cheers.
@@Wayner71 As a young person, I disagree. With the erosion of radio and monoculture as a whole, as well as the rise of streaming and social media, we're engaging with music just as much as previous generations. That's why you see us walking around with our earbuds in all the time, lol. And we love to show off our playlists loaded with niche music. I think "mainstream" top-40 music is just a sinking ship.
@@nicholasperl I agree. My sons are always listening to music but they have never owned a cd or lp - everything is streamed, which I’m envious of…. I have too many cds.
This has revealed to me that I'm infinitely more familiar with albums that came out before I was born than I am with albums from the past 25 years of my actual living existence.
Radiohead , PJ Harvey , The National , Spoon , Interpol , Wilco , Thievery Corporation , Bloc Party , Slowdive & Yeah Yeah Yeahs have all put out multiple top notch albums this century.
Hi Larry, I am 68 years old , and I love a lot of today's music,I used to have the same opinion as you, that I only wanted to hear music I grew up with, but meeting a younger person and becoming friends, has opened my ears to so much new music and artists. Taylor swift is excellent, Charli xcx is fun, Sza is great, Lorde I love, The white stripes are one of my favourites. I still enjoy The Beatles and the Stones, Neil Young and Bob Dylan of course, but so happy to have broadened my horizons. Anyway love you doing these lists always makes me smile 😊😅
This is just my Animal Collective fan boy bias, but Merriweather Post Pavilion should be WAY higher than 149. What it did for experimental music and the indie scene in the mainstream cannot be disregarded. It’s one of the best selling indie albums of all time. To have a one direction album over 50 spots higher grinds my gears lol.
Younger generations has the right to their own music style and their idols. We can't expect them to idolize music from 60s or 70s. And honestly not much from the older bands released after 2000 are pretty good.
Hi Larry,love your videos. This is the third time I'm requesting "Rolling Stone Top 100 Greatest Artists of All Time " Please do a reaction that. Have a good one!
Yes ,,To Pimp a Butterfly" easily top3, maybe even the best album of 21st century. Kinda surprised they put good Kid, M.A.A.D. City higher, they should be switched places
Nine Inch Nails has made some great albums since 2000 that should be on here. I recently saw St, Vincent and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to so I'd put her album much higher than 200 and something. Newer bands that I like a lot that I sadly didn't see on here: The Joy Formidable, MGMT, The Naked and Famous and Gotye and I'll think of 5 more as soon as I post this. Bowie's Blackstar will always be #1 since 2000 for me.
Nice to see Brian and Paul on the list. Surprised Blackstar is as high as it is, but it's deserved. Would have been cool to see Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 by Beastie Boys, but that's Rolling Stone for you.
Love & Theft would be my #1, but I'm a big fan,it's actually a top 5 Dylan album for me. A couple other albums I love since 2000; Alejandro Escavedo-Burn Something Beautiful Fiery Furnaces-Gallowsbird's Bark Mark Lanegan-Bubblegum Mendoza Line-Fortune Ty Segall-Manipulator
The Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" should be on the list. And Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head". I'd give #1 to Taylor Swift's "folklore", so they almost got it right. 😊
Number One should be The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte by Sparks. I wonder if Ready Or Not by Grateful Dead, released in 2019, consisting of songs written in the early 1990s and recorded live 1992-94, would be considered?
Instead of commenting on what I just watched, I prefer to recommend 10 albums of the 21st century: 01. Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle 02. Hidden Orchestra - Night Walks 03. Portishead - Third 04. Douglas Dare - Whelm 05. Oneida - Anthem of the Moon 06. The Heads - Under the Stress of a Headlong Dive 07. Daniel Pemberton - The Man from U.N.C.L.E Soundtrack 08. Smog - Dongs of Sevotion 09. Robert Wyatt - Comicopera 10. Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
I own 16 albums from that list. Toxicity - System of a Down and Vespertine - Bjork are my favourites from that lot. Folklore - Taylor Swift is very good. I had White Pony -Deftones but didn’t like it. Last year I had a listen to SZA and Dua Lipa - I enjoyed what I heard.
Hello Larry...thanks for yet another enjoyable video. St. Vincent does a good rendition of The Beatles "Dig A Pony", and scrolling through this list with you I realize I am old and I'm not familiar with most of these artists, and the few I am familiar with I'm not interested in. Long live Zappa, Beatles, Mississippi Fred Mcdowell and on and on....
Don’t worry, Larry: I’m not hip anymore either. It’s just a symptom of living a reasonably long life. So - congratulations on outliving your time of hipness
I mean it's fair that they are trying to look hip, but at the same time the editors of RS probably aren't blasting the old hits as much as they are the recent music. I mean I think a lot of the album covers are fairly good. Make no mistake, some of them are trash but they're still good representations of what the albums are. Also, it's a crime not to see To Pimp a Butterfly or Blackstar in the top 20. I don't know if Beyonce is the best album but I think it's still pretty good. I just hope that you don't discard something just because it's newer and outside of your traditional genre. I understand you saying that there's a wealth of artists you already listen to, but that didn't stop you from starting to love Ween, who, to me, don't have any set genre from one song to the next.
Nice to see St. Vincent represented but I would give her a better ranking and also she has two albums better than the self titled imo, Actor and Strange Mercy and her latest All Born Screaming is as good as the self titled imo.
I'm almost 20 years younger than you, Larry, but I'm right with you. I have so little interest in almost any of these artists, although as the list went on there were more I liked. Still, I've always been an old soul and would rather listen to 20th century music (and watch 20th century films), for the most part. I thought "To Pimp a Butterfly" would be at #1, because it is at Rate Your Music (which is hilarious), but when it wasn't, I somehow knew it was going to be "Lemonade." I have never gotten the deal with Beyonce and think she's massively overrated...especially when she needs 80 writers and 16 producers to make a hit album. 😂 It's like her music was created in a laboratory. What a joke!

Lemonade is a good album, but I personally would not put it at number one. I too have not heard of many of those albums. Not sure what I would put at number one since none of the listing stand head and shoulders overt the rest. Taylor Swift is definitely the artist of the 21st century.
Huh, so, interesting, I suppose. I think #1 should be...............................................................................................................................
No Whitney Houston, no toni Braxton, no Michael Jackson, no Stevie wonder, no Mary j. Blige, no Boyz ii men, no maroon 5, no George Michael/wham, no Hall And Oates, No Queen and no Celine Dion oh this list is so wrong
I don't know any of these albums except Chaos and Creation by Paul McCartney Larry and I have no interest in any of it,Taylor Swift is the biggest thing in the world today but again I have no interest in her,I'm a boomer and I'm kind of trapped in my own time. Bob
The only problem with this list is that there is too much progressive rock. Why are they so obsessed with prog? Leave room for a little rap, R&B and pop!
Im 33 and I can tell you as a 90s kid half of the music in this list is overproduced garbage. Billie Elish has her brother compose her music. Im general these Rolling Stones lists are just to grab attention, I doubt they put much thought into it.
,,To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar which they've placed at #33 should've been #1. It's a rap/hip-hop album, but believe me, Larry, it's an ,,Abbey Road" of 21st century with all that storytelling and etc Bob Dylan's ,,Love & Theft" at #19 is too high, it's a great album, but not at #19. Britney Spears in top 100 is a big No No. It's sad that Kanye West's ,,Late Registration" get's burried between his first 6 albums (a thing that I predicted and once thar album was like 2nd his best)
This list is a HUGE NOOOO. Progarchives has a much better list Prog style has the best albuns of new bands of the century. The rest of best albuns of the century are all of new releases of bands of the 60s, 70s 80s and 90s (Styx, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Rolling Stones Brian Wilson, Van Der Graaf Generator etc)
But ,,Lemonade" is an important album these days. Sure it's maybe not #1 but it has to be at top10. Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Radiohead listener here
I was specting the worst= kendrick lamar to pimp a butterfly as 1#. But at least Kid A it's #2, Dylan and Bowie on Top 20 and, at least, Beyoncé knows how to sing. Not Bad for a RS list!!! Seems that RS is talking some distance of the "woke" thing, or at least they are pretending!!!!

Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly is fantastic, and it also inspired Bowie when he was working on Blackstar.
@@Xanturio1 That's right, Bowie was inspired by Lamar's TPAB album while making Blackstar. Somehow I forgot that until I read your comment
Radiohead , PJ Harvey , The National , Spoon , Interpol , Wilco , Thievery Corporation , Bloc Party , Slowdive & Yeah Yeah Yeahs have all put out multiple top notch albums this century.

I like how they put "So Far" like they expect some great albums in the later part of the century.

I never said they didn't. Thanks.
Hi Larry,love your videos. This is the third time I'm requesting "Rolling Stone Top 100 Greatest Artists of All Time " Please do a reaction that. Have a good one!
To Pimp a Butterfly at 33 is pretty crazy to me, I thought it would be top 5 if not number 1.
Yeah, it should be higher imo
Yes ,,To Pimp a Butterfly" easily top3, maybe even the best album of 21st century. Kinda surprised they put good Kid, M.A.A.D. City higher, they should be switched places
You should check out #190, the band Alvvays they're from Nova Scotia I believe, really good indie/jangle pop!
I just clicked on to make a comment. Haven't watched your video yet. But if it's Rolling Stone it's gonna bad. Will check back later😊.

I don't know 95% of the albums and I don't care. Nice video Larry.
Nice to see Brian and Paul on the list. Surprised Blackstar is as high as it is, but it's deserved. Would have been cool to see Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 by Beastie Boys, but that's Rolling Stone for you.
Yes, Beastie Boys last album was great and so forgotten...
Adele’s 21 and 25 would be at the top of my list. Chaos and Creation in the Backyard should be hire. Also Memories Almost Full should be on the list.
Love & Theft would be my #1, but I'm a big fan,it's actually a top 5 Dylan album for me. A couple other albums I love since 2000;
Alejandro Escavedo-Burn Something Beautiful
Fiery Furnaces-Gallowsbird's Bark
Mark Lanegan-Bubblegum
Mendoza Line-Fortune
Ty Segall-Manipulator
The Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" should be on the list. And Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head". I'd give #1 to Taylor Swift's "folklore", so they almost got it right. 😊

I was very underwhelmed for the one time when I listened to that Beyonce Lemonade album - not sure why it's rated as #1 here

I've heard you put : were now in a period where there are plenty of avenues of sampling or being referred to new or unknown artists. Don't need R$.
Hello Larry...thanks for yet another enjoyable video.

rolling stone is not a credible publication or should that be website in this day and age
Nice to see St. Vincent represented but I would give her a better ranking and also she has two albums better than the self titled imo, Actor and Strange Mercy and her latest All Born Screaming is as good as the self titled imo.
like hardy said to stan. l have nothing to say.

The list does seem a bit “trendy dad in his 50s trying to be cool” but then what do I know… I like Huey Lewis and the News.
No Ed Sheeran. I like this list😅
Ok computer was nineties
97
The century of the narcotrafic money laundry

Seems to me that RS is concentrating on 'Generic Pop'... which is a shame... there's a lot of 'Good Pop' out there if you look for it...
Huh, so, interesting, I suppose. I think #1 should be...............................................................................................................................
No Whitney Houston, no toni Braxton, no Michael Jackson, no Stevie wonder, no Mary j. Blige, no Boyz ii men, no maroon 5, no George Michael/wham, no Hall And Oates, No Queen and no Celine Dion oh this list is so wrong

I don't enough about much of the artists/albums on this list to make an informed comment. I don't like or hate any of them. I'm just indifferent.
The only problem with this list is that there is too much progressive rock. Why are they so obsessed with prog? Leave room for a little rap, R&B and pop!
lol what list did you see? It's almost all pop, and no prog metal at all. the couple prog rock were valid
@@coloripple I think he's being ironic.
Agree album covers stink! I had 16 of of the 250, but only have 5 now. Man I’m lame.
Im 33 and I can tell you as a 90s kid half of the music in this list is overproduced garbage. Billie Elish has her brother compose her music.
Im general these Rolling Stones lists are just to grab attention, I doubt they put much thought into it.
Lemonade over Amy Winehouse "Back to Black"? Uumm, Definitely NOT
or 50 Cent over Paul McCartney...
Larry I think rateyourmusic’s top 250 albums from this Century is much Better of course, and that Would be worth your time, not this one
What a mostly terrible list. RS clearly sucking up to the tweens
,,To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar which they've placed at #33 should've been #1. It's a rap/hip-hop album, but believe me, Larry, it's an ,,Abbey Road" of 21st century with all that storytelling and etc

I don’t agree with Lemonade - Beyoncé being number 1!. Number 1 for me is either American Idiot or In Rainbows 🌈👍xxx.
But ,,Lemonade" is an important album these days. Sure it's maybe not #1 but it has to be at top10. Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Radiohead listener here
Sorry larry wouldn't listen or buy any of then out of them I have one drive by truckers pretty good give it a listen 👍
Best albums in English.... No enough music in other langage or from other countries. And the choice.... 🤮
I was specting the worst= kendrick lamar to pimp a butterfly as 1#. But at least Kid A it's #2, Dylan and Bowie on Top 20 and, at least, Beyoncé knows how to sing. Not Bad for a RS list!!!
Seems that RS is talking some distance of the "woke" thing, or at least they are pretending!!!!
