"The Literal Soundtrack Of My Life": Questlove Shares Best 100 Albums Playlist
Editor's Note: This story was originally published in November 2019 and has been updated for comprehensiveness.
Questlove has shared a playlist featuring his 100 favorite albums (it's technically 99, considering he couldn't include De La Soul's De La Soul Is Dead because of the rap group's battle with Tommy Boy Records). Now that De La Soul's discography is finally available on streaming, Quest might need to update the playlist!
"These are 'The Best Albums Of All Time' more like 'the literal soundtrack of my life' albums I've gravitated towards and listened to like past 100 times each. Pretty much know them all by heart. I think they are interesting," Quest wrote alongside the Spotify playlist, which encompasses 1,546 songs and is close to 112 hours long.
