Top 10 Best Albums of 2002
2002 was a fascinating year for music, reflecting a world in transition and a landscape where genres collided, blurred, and evolved.In hip-hop, 2002 was a banner year, with artists like Eminem reaching the height of their popularity and others, like Nas, continuing to prove their staying power. Meanwhile, rock music was splintering into new and exciting forms - bands like The White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age were breathing fresh energy into alternative and garage rock, while pop-punk outfits like Good Charlotte and New Found Glory spoke to a new generation of angsty teenagers. Even metal had its moment, with bands like System of a Down and Tool delivering complex, heavy-hitting albums that pushed the boundaries of the genre.
Pop music, too, saw its stars shine brightly in 2002. Established icons released records that cemented their legacy, while rising talents were making their voices heard on the global stage. Whether you were listening to the sultry sounds of R&B or the infectious beats of dance-pop, there was something for everyone.
The Eminem Show and By The Way are my favorites. If I could only vote for two.
25?! You gotta be kidding me! This is the best rap album ever! And what are J-Lo and Christina Aguilera doing above Eminem?
Second best album by Eminem, and best album of 2002.
Love the remixes. Should be #2.
It was a huge hit and sold over 10 million copies. It also had three top ten singles!
Great album all the way through.
Amazing album. I love all the songs.
Best album from Sandra! She was making great music in the '80s and early '90s, but this one is my absolute favorite.
One of the best albums of the 2000s. It was a powerful comeback.
Greatest album of all time.

All I Have and The One are very beautiful songs - two diamonds of this album. Jenny From the Block and I'm Glad were big hits in my country.
Back then, Jennifer made very cool music.
This is KoRn's best album. KoRn is the best band on earth. I can't quite understand why this isn't in the top ten.
