I recently re-did my top 50 list. Not going to do the whole thing but I'll post it anyway. A lot changed since my last list, mainly I got out of some things (not much) and realized the importance of other things. Lorde's Melodrama made a rapid jump to my top 10. It's iconic I love the hell out of the album, it feels important and a vital release that just does it for me. It's going to be an album I look back on and remember as one of the key records that came out in my "young adult" days. Emotion moved into my top 5 but at the end of the day there will never be a pop record better than Thriller. Because you need to make a better pop song then "Human Nature" first. Well Michael did that with in my option the best pop song of all time, Man In The Mirror, but you know. Thriller is a special album where it's a sum of all parts pop experience the likes of which has never been seen again.
Born To Run is my real #1 but Highway To Hell HAS GOT to be the top because it's so important to my life it can't move from that spot. But Born To Run has my top 3 songs of all time. Jungleland, the best song I've ever heard in my life yet out of every single song it's the best, there is no contest, Jungleland is the best song ever, I've never heard better, Thunder Road and Backstreets. I could live to 200 and never hear a better album than Born To Run. I am 100% confident it is the greatest album ever made by humans and there is NO BETTER. There is not even a single shred of doubt behind this statement. Born To Run is the greatest album ever made.
This list will change in like 2 seconds but ya.
