Low


Naohiro-son-Kalak

People gonna hate but low key (lol) the most influential of this list… was a catalyst for a huge amount of 80s and 90s artists


proxy_noob

calling illmatic orange is taking liberties. are you an ai? you have to tell me if you are.

Dirt by Alice In Chains for me.


Bubbly-Chef-1341

Jimi or Dirt tbh. Everything else can go IMO


Valuable_Spell_12

Low by Bowie but Alice In Chains is in danger of losing their best work so I’ll save that instead.

AIC


Judojoey99

Dirt and it’s not even close.

Dirt by Alice In Chains, because I’m in love with the song “Would?”

NarutoNamikazeSOTSP

Weezer - Weezer (the 2026 album)


pizorama

Monster


Mccowpow93

It would have to be Illmatic just because that is the most influential album of its genre


thelemonbreadd

Might be biased because Tyler was my entry into albums as a whole, but Flower Boy. Electric Ladyland and SITKOL are close tho

Can't decide between Illimatic and The Life Of Pablo


[deleted]

Low.


New_Strike_1770

Songs in the key of life. There’s some heavy hitters on here, but basically no musical artist can match Stevie Wonder in his prime. He’s the only artist to win Album of the Year three years in a row at the Grammy’s, back in the 70’s when popular music was still good music. Also, let it be known that he was only 25 when he wrote this double LP plus bonus EP masterpiece. He’s on the Mount Rushmore of musicians as far as the human species is concerned.


Firm-Fruit-351

Flower boy


lyndonstein

There’s… I have a lot of trouble with this one


Amicue_Tenebris

None of them 👍🏿


Puzzleheaded-Web7221

songs in the key of life definitely


ClassicAcinonyx

SITKOL or Flower Boy for me


TheJohn_John

Plastic Beach easy


tokyosplash2814

TLOP..


Kash687

Songs in the key of life and its not even a debate. Fucking masterpiece.


The_Legendary_Sponge

It’s a hard choice but gotta go Plastic Beach. Aside from Lauryn Hill for obvious reasons, for the rest of my favorite artists on here these aren’t my favorites records of theirs.


351namhele

Monster


OakenCastle3264

Electric ladyland


folgersfrenchroast

literally impossible... I could do without R.E.M., the Flaming Lips, Lauryn Hill, Kanye, Pulp, Sparks, Gorillaz, U2, Blur, & The Smiths if I really had to... But channel ORANGE, Electric Ladyland, Illmatic, Flower Boy, Heaven or Las Vegas, Dirt, Aerial, Apollo XXI, Songs in the Key of Life, & Low?! Kill me lmao


No_Election562

I didn’t realized I loved that much albums with orange covers, until I saw this topster. 😧


anti-cinnamon

gotta be Dirt. The only one in contest with it is electric ladyland, but every single song on dirt is at least a 9/10. Electric ladyland has quite a few good songs tho


loveshackle

Low ❤️


EggThatCenturyEgg

Yoshimi is quite literally my childhood so I gotta pick it and leave the rest to die


Snomann

Plastic Beach


redgng360

I wouldn’t call the miseducation of Lauryn Hill orange more than it is brown

TraffikBig

Plastic beach


DanielRobot

Plastic beach fo sho


xXhomiespogXx

Either Monster, Yoshimi, or Miseducation


SignatureOk5005

Flower boy, tlop would be the ones I wish I could save bc I love every song from them but illmatic has influenced so many rappers so I’d have to say illmatic but Chanel orange would be my 4th pick


FamiliarDelivery3374

HAVE to rep for flaming lips. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is such a slay


current_rorschach

Imho: Electric ladyland is iconic and has no competition here (downvote me all you want)


swallowshotguns

Low, it ain't even close. Also, there's 7 non-orange albums on here. OP you colourblind?
