Apple Music’s best albums list is a fair reflection of where music is at nowadays. But many fans should prepare to be vexed - it turns out to be a bonfire of the musos
Last week, Apple ’s music streaming service counted down the best 100 albums of all time. The results were, on the whole, a fair reflection of where music is at nowadays. Photograph: Justin Lane/EPAhas decided 2024 is the year it annoys everyone. In early May, the tech behemoth provoked the wrath of the artisanal classes with an ad for the new iPad in which a hydraulic press crushes creative tools such as musical instruments, an artist’s palette, and so forth.
It was an entirely reasonable pick. Miseducation is an effervescent masterpiece that still sparkles 26 years on. At the same time, Apple was regarded as giving short shrift to other genres – it included just one country record, Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour, and a sprinkling of heavy metal: Metallica’s Master of Puppets and AC/DC’s Back In Black. Irish music receives a similar cold shoulder.
For some, a top 100 that rates Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Ago? above the Velvet Underground and Nico deserves to be cast into the pit of hell
