Started a new chart of albums that feel like they take you to an alternate universe, sometimes bizarre, sometimes scary, sometimes beautiful. Many are obvious choices off the top of my head, so I'd love to hear some recs.
Eventually I'll put them in some sort of order than keeps similar stuff grouped.

Since I have just reached level 5, I am starting to make decade charts. I'm thinking of going one album per artist, just like in my overall chart. Do you people recommend this?

I don't. If someone released a bunch of fantastic albums over the course of 10 years, give credit where credit's due. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

I think the forums are firmly split on this question. I'm against it for basically the reason mecca gave, but Skinny, Gowie, and others are big on it. Just do whatever you think is best.

I'm assuming you've heard at least the first few Popol Vuh albums. (any of them would fit nicely on a list like this)
Pretty recently woke up so I'm too lazy to write anything about these picks, but yeah check them out I guess.

I've been doing the one album per artist rule for all my charts. I'd recommend it for the sole reason of discovering new artists.

The only complete decade charts that I had (prior to deleting my account) were my '80s and my 2000s chart, and I believe both were one-album-per-artist (my 1980s one definitely was, and it was the decade chart I was happiest with). But whatever you feel. I don't think charts with one-album-per-artist are necessarily better or worse than charts with multiple artists - you get great charts that fall into both categories. For me, the best charts (excluding custom charts) tend to be those that I feel are honest, littered with personal, unqiue(-ish) choices, full of variety, and hopefully with some sort of notes I can check while I browse through. I personally like to see a good cross-section of age, nationality, race, gender too, though charts that manage this are few and far between, and my charts pretty much never manage this (particularly the latter - I guess I just relate to male perspectives more than female perspectives, or am otherwise just an unwitting secret sexist). _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Awesome. thanks so much. I figured you'd have some solid input. Just added them to my queue. Yeah, I figure Popol will end up on this chart too. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
