Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by caveman
Work in progress. This is really a chart of my personal taste, so it probably won't interest everyone. I'm not trying to give my opinion of what should "officially" be called the best albums, or what have been the most influential albums. We're striving for a list of what the best albums really are, which should be based on what people really like, not on what people think everyone else really likes. Not that I mind if people want to write a chart full of classics.

good stuff especially piper at the gates
Nick Drake, Zappa, Camel, Floyd, Captain Beefheart...lots of great stuff on this chart! It also seems very individualized...I love those types of charts! I'm definitely with you on the Yellow Shark album. That WAS one of Zappa's finest and you just never hear about that piece enough. Nicely done! Definitely continue to add more of your favorites.
Couldn't help but notice that you and I are the only ones to include The Yellow Shark! Your personal taste is cool...I love seeing things I've never even heard of before! Nice chart!
Hey! Thanks for your nice review.
I am just paying attention to my own taste and I really don't care about the general main stream and my charts are just the outcome of it, but still evolving as well!
I also like Zappa but I only nominate I artist per album.
average chart...love Frank Zappa but way too much of him on your chart... would be interesting to see a top 100.

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 :(
