Well, Hairymarx is a Scaruffi clone, and I think Scaruffi's opinion is bullshit a lot of the time. That being said, when Scaruffi really likes something, it's generally pretty good, so I'd say this chart is good.

I have been following besteveralbums for over two years now and this is far and away the most thought provoking and inspiring chart I have yet seen, much to think about. Many thanks.

It's like a big list of things I can't fully enjoy but return to often

[Norman Bates]

A few thoughts:
- Mirror Man is way too high. It's got nothing on most of the Captain's discography.
- From Her to Eternity is certainly NOT Nick Cave's best. I don't understand this pick. The best of Nick Cave is between 1988 and 1994 IMO.
- Have A Marijuana must be a joke. It's not awful, but #22 of all time? Hey, where's Philosophy of the World and Fugs?
- The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is not a #53 in my view. You either love it and put in your top ten, or just plain like it and it's not top 100 material.
- Laika are awfully boring, and more dated than all the awesome 60s and 70s picks from this chart.


- Most of the picks in this chart are splendid, which is why I ventured into some minorly negative musings.


- I need to listen to those Jon Hassell and Julia Holter records. Never heard of Julia Holter, what's she like?

Actually I find this chart less pretentious than Scaruffi's. I like it a lot.

[L Lawliet]

I think the chart is excellent, although I think the creator is a tosser and the albums included for laughable/pathetic reasons at best.

Objectively the best chart ever.

[Cymro2011]

It's hard for me to enjoy a chart with Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt in the top ten because I know exactly whats coming next.
