    Holy shit....ok, first pleasant surprise.
    This Lauren Hill record is straight 🔥
    Very interesting music.
    This was one I couldn’t stop listening to when it came out. 

    I’m probably in the minority here, but her Unplugged is my favorite. 
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    My wife loves her so I know some of her music but have never listened/focused on one of her records. 
    The ones I listened to yesterday were straight boring...the songs all sounded pretty much the same, even if I liked/knew some of them.

    I tried to find the OP list of RS top 10 albums and couldn't find one that matches.  Just curious- where did you find this list,  MedozK?

    Looking like 2 female artist masterpieces are on their way out in round 1.

    As good as Hill's album is, it's just not top 10.

    Ok, have listened to all not very familiar with.
    Sad that Lauren Hill is leaving, I would put her Top 5 on this list.

    I found Blue to be boring as fuck.  
    Not her fault, it is beautiful music.  I was just totally bored by it

    It appears most are not properly educated on Ms. Lauren Hill.

    That's a good listen.

    Saw MLH in the recent past...some things are better left to the imagination. Showed up late and shouted a lot. Maybe I was expecting too much. Whatever.

    The only album I put her over in this group is the Mitchell one.

    RS staff has lost it's mind.  Where is Sgt. Peppers? Hwy 61 Revisited?  Tapestry?  Are You Experienced?  Kind of Blue?

    Craziness!

    Lots more diversity in the new list. Kanye's 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', is in front of all those you listed.

    The right-hand work on it is astounding. I've tried to emulate her right-hand work in my own guitar playing forever. I've only begun trying to use a pick this past year.

    It's certainly a different kind of masterpiece than the others on the list.

    Like I said, they didn't want to be the crusty old white magazine that they were...

    Looking at you next, Prince.
    I honestly can't think of a more overrated album...I would say something by Beastie Boys, but they aren't very highly rated outside of an incredibly specific demographic.
