I made a chart (finally). Y'all can take a look if ya want here: http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=30542. No notes or anything as I'm not a notes person, but maybe one day I will get around to adding some kind of notes. That was a lot of "work" and a lot of edits - some of which are awaiting to be fixed by albummaster.
Edit: Well now I am able to fill the chart. This daunting task shall continue but that is for another day. Takes me too long to add all the album info.

If any of you want to see how mercury's (that's me) curiosities about seemingly pointless things can obsess him for several pointless hours, check out my number-filled overall. Basically, I just became obsessed about the age of my fave artists when they made their best music.

I made my first decade chart, and ended up adding four albums to the database in the process. There's definitely room for improvement though, and I'm appreciative of any feedback and/or recs.

Thanks! Yeah good call, it's been a long time since I listened to Stand! and I definitely need to again. I'll probably check out Life by them as well, which I've heard good things about but never listened to.
My method is to look through my iTunes library and repeatedly ask myself "which album do you like better?", and to arrange the chart positions one-by-one based on that. So far I've only assigned numerical ratings to albums from 2012-2016, and I may even delete those. Giving numbers to music feels like such a Sisyphean task. And if I try to be systematic and numerical I end up obsessively trying to make sure the entire system is internally consistent, spending way too much time on little tweaks, and second-guessing my own taste. So instead I've been trying to trust my instinct. In a similar vein, I've been starting to try to make my charts as subjective and personal as possible, based on what music is most important to my life and what music I come back to again and again.
EDIT: Your chart has a lot of great picks! Here are some I haven't heard that I'll try when I have a chance: 37, 56, 58, 64, 79, 82, 95 _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
