looking at their top 10 albums, by far the biggest jump was the "miseducation of Lauryn Hill" [black women artist] which jumped #341 to #10, all the other top 10 ten albums were still in top 100s. The other bigish jumps was Purple rain (#76 to #8) and Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie wonder (jumped from #57 to #4). All black artist

Their also seems to be also a promotion of women artist, blue by Joni Mitchell jumped from #30 to #3. The old top 10 was all men.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye is now #1 instead of sgt pepper by the beatles (though Ill be honest I prefer that album over sgt pepper though note I never was a big fan of the beatles). Heres a japanese cover of whats going on for some added diversity.

Sgt Pepper isn't even the best Beatles album.

I prefer Abbey Road and the White Album.

abbey road has two of their best songs which were by george but a lot of it is overrated. At least every song on rubber soul or revolver is great. White Album also has a lot of filler. Let it Be might have been their greatest if not messed with by Spector. I like the Let it be Naked album, rocks more.

I never heard someone suggest Let It Be as their best album. I don't believe Let It Be naked was much of an improvement over the original. Spector's version of Across the Universe is amazing and by far the best version.

let it be's not their best album lol not saying that, just that it could have been. That's not the reality tho of course. I don't like the orchestration spector put on that and other songs, too cheesy.
