NOTE: Some of these are not my favorite in the genre but
Pop = Thriller
Rap = Illmatic
R&B = What's Going On
Soul = Innervisions
Rock = Sgt Pepper
Metal = Master of Puppets
why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul
rap is too broad a genre to have one album define it
you’d have to break it down into its subgenres
define "THE"
When you think Pop
He's the King of Pop
You think MJ
Then you think of Thriller
That's what I mean by "THE"
why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul
My same question lmao. And sgt pepper for “the” rock album is not it
Graduation is rap's Thriller
Honestly, I'd say AEOM and GRODT fit that more.
There's people in 3rd world countries that don't speak English that still bump these 2 albums religiously lol.

Yeaaaaa I think rock and rap are toooo broad for a “THE” album. Would def have to break em off into sub genres. I did see Someone say master of puppets for THE metal album which is a fair one
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea for Indie Folk
DJ Rashad - Double Cup for Footwork
Burial - Untrue for Dubstep
Skrillex - Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites for Brostep
Daft Punk - Homework for French House
Not before Doggystyle/AEOM/Get Rich in that convo
None of those albums are similar to Thriller
Thriller is a concise album and almost every song is a hit

Thanks for this reply.
This is what I meant!!
these are all old as f*** which kinda defeats the purpose
that’s my point, culture keeps evolving, what captured the zeitgeist 50 years ago shouldn’t be held up as the same thing that captures it now

Music is timeless fam
Um…I love MBDTF but it is not the second in line for being “THE” album in hiphop lol
What do you think comes close to #2?
why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul
Because it is? lol Innervisions is Soul music and What’s Going On is literally Rhythm & Blues. Go look it up
why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul
Because Marvin Gaye sold his soul
My same question lmao. And sgt pepper for “the” rock album is not it
Maybe not for the rock but I honestly said that because that’s the album most artist site as their influence. I’d go with Pet Sounds or Rumours personally
Has Confessions become THE r&b album?
Might be tbh
I don't listen to r&b like that though.
Everytime Conf part 2 comes on though
Everyone knows the words by heart
pop = thriller
rap = playboi carti
rnb = partynextdoor 1 + 2
soul = </3²
rock = whole lotta red
metal = music
What do you think comes close to #2?
Chronic
Doggystyle
Straight Outta Compton
All Eyez On Me
Ready to Die
Life After Death
College Dropout
Get Rich or Die Tryin
Carter III
Graduation
These are all better candidates for representing the genre of hiphop culturally than MBDTF
I still think AEOM is probably the answer for rap when you factor in how iconic and global it is.
Chronic
Doggystyle
Straight Outta Compton

In 2022 Whole Lotta Red or Ūp 2 Me is closer than any of these

So for rap.
Would we define them by era then?
Like boom bap
Gangsta
Conscious
Luxury
Etc..
