Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by cabvo (2013)  

« View previous chartView next chart »

A revisited version of my chart which now includes new albums that I had underrated, and which has been modified in its ranking. It's maybe now more miscellaneous. It has been created so as to be the more objective as possible. That's why you'll see more albums from some bands, because I think that a great album is a great album. I just don't try to make a "favourite albums of mine" chart, but I think I'll be better in giving some ideas about where to start listening to good music. However, your opinions and criticisms would be gratefully received to improve its content.

Chart updated: 06/07/2013 08:53 (Created: 06/24/2011 14:17). Chart size: 100 albums.

Based on the criteria of the chart I think you did a good job. But the criteria IMO is kind of lame. If I wanted to look at an "objective" chart, I'd check out the BEA overall or metacritic or something. IMO objectivity is impossible.

Solid Chart - made up of popular classics. Please remove Black Keys though and maybe add a few more personal favs.

I can't rate this cause I just don't like the goal of this chart, but based on the criteria of being essential i think you did a pretty good job.

39 in common with my own makes it hard to find fault but the last 33 years haven't been that bad.
