This thread was from a few months ago about which users have great charts and why. I was surprised to see so many users value personal feedback on what other users love about the selected albums on their charts. Up until that thread, I didn't think many users actually cared to read comments, but I was wrong to assume to that. So ever since that thread, I've been gradually adding personal feedback to albums on my chart that mostly begin with a quoted lyric from the album. Hopefully these new comments, plus being CotD, will make it worth looking at.

Happy listening everyone

I like that Get Behind Me Satan is your White Stripes choice.

I like this list. Sure there are some albums and artists I can't stand but overall, a good list.


points taken away for having a greatest hits album on your list.

Depends what you think the point of an album is. I think it's a coherent collection of songs that an artist makes at a certain time in their artistic progression. It's hard for me to think of a greatest hits album as an album, rather than just a marketing sampler to try to get new fans for an artist.

Having said that, some artists never put together a good album, but they have a lot of good hits, so I understand why people might prefer to listen to singles rather than albums for those artists.

But nowadays we have "top songs" playlists instead of greatest hits albums for that.

Naturally, there are no hard and fast rules. Example: Top Petty's Greatest Hits features Mary Jane's Last Dance which was a fresh release (and therefore not a greatest hit until after it was put there).
