The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far (2010-2014) Neither toxicologist nor translator can interpret Young Thug. His vocabulary is a creole of Atlanta trap slang, Hopelandic, and the language of thought—the yeows, yelps, and coos used by babies to communicate. His bloodstream is equal parts Strawberry Jolly Ranchers, promethazine, tropical Fanta, marijuana, molly, and alien drugs beamed in from the plug on Betelgeuse.
It is possible to explain him in terms of conventional lineage. There’s the croaking syllable plasticity of Lil Wayne circa the lunar peaks of his Martian phase. But Thugga hails from one planet further out, an inhospitable and volcanic sphere of choppy rock where the strip clubs only accept hundreds. The eccentricity makes him compelling, but it doesn’t make him great. The condo is an aspirational ideal, a metaphor for highness, a place to store his imaginary Grammys, and to fuck nannies. Since last February’s release of 1017 Thug, Thug has ascended to the throne as Atlanta’s next star.

NME's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" is a 2003 special issue of American magazine Rolling Stone, and a related book published in 2005.[1] The lists presented were compiled based on votes from selected rock musicians, critics, and industry figures, and predominantly feature British and American music from the 1960s and 1970s.
From 2007 onwards, the magazine published similarly titled lists in other countries around the world. In 2012, Rolling Stone published a revised edition of the list drawing on the original and a later survey of albums in the 2000s.[2] It was made available in "bookazine" format on newsstands in the US from April 27 to July 25. Rocklist.net..Colin Larkin 1000 Albums - 2000. The Virgin All-Time Album Top 1000 List - 2000 “So, what is the greatest album of all time?
Now in it’s third edition, All-time Top 1000 Albums is as close to a definitive answer as you can get. It’s the chart of charts, the poll of polls, based on the widest range of views and opinions ever collected: more than 200,000 votes collected by post, fax and email from all over the world”. Published by Virgin in 2000. At the beginning of the book there are several Top 50 lists for individual genres.
The rules on compilations is a bit odd: “…we do not allow them to be counted because the idea is for the album to be a showcase of songs put together by an artist at a particular time… [apart from] the odd renegade like Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers or Big Ones by Aerosmith… as there were so many votes for them I would have distorted the final picture if I had not included them”. Oasis’ Be Here Now has had a rather spectacular change in fortunes: No 36 in 1998, it’s now at No 459!!
