Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by LadyGodiva
Music is all about memories and associations for me. The albums on my chart have been listened to heaps of times. They have accompanied me through plenty of good times as well as through more than my fair share of bad times. These albums have travelled the world with me, seen my tears, heard my laughter, helped me fall in love and given me strength and hope when I needed it most. They all hold a very special place in my heart. The order is purely arbitrary based on how I feel right now. The hundredth placed album is just as beloved as the number 1. I can't imagine my life without music... so I hope you enjoy what is effectively the soundtrack to my life! :)
Suggestions and comments always welcome.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 93.1/100, a mean average of 93.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Merci !! I’ve been obsessed with vaporwave the last few months. It must be a viral side effect ! Xxx
Only 1 album in my chart! There are a couple of albums in your list I really like, but I've never heard of most of them.
I read this twice it was that good. Any chart that has Hatful of Hollow that high deserves a high rating. You recall the late eighties and early nineties and the music at the time like my dad does; he was all over Manchester at the time too!
Great chart!
...and thanks for the personal annotations!
Don't like the top 10 that much but descriptions are imaginative and some picks are so good...
Wow - that's a really lovely comment Steve! It is great fun finding new music and I am honoured if I have been part of that journey for you!
What a great discovery! Awesome chart. Plenty of new albums for me to check out and a new genre for me I never knew existed - Scandi-pop. My musical journey is only just beginning and charts like this are inspiring, m'Lady! I, too, love Hatful of Hollow. It's an amazing album. And as for Julee Cruise, I only remembered I used to have that album in the 90s when I re-watched the film Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me t'other night. I spent many a happy hour rocking back and forth to that one. I must re-buy it. I think it was one of those albums I lent to a friend and never got back. Anyway enough about me. Your chart is brilliant. Story of a life in music. I love your notes. Glad I found it on here. From Steven
Assosiation music with memories is a beautiful thing.
Thank you Exist - that is a lovely thing to say! I am so glad that I have been able to bring a little musical happiness into at least one person's heart xx

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
