Hi all,
This may have been asked before, but i'm asking it now. Which is more important to you in drawing up your "besteveralbums" chart -- that an album is historically and widely acclaimed or that it is personally significant or meaningful in your life?

If an album is acclaimed and important but I personally don't like it too much, I always try to include it on my chart. Somehow.
There have been times I have really loved an album only to find out later it had no real importance or
Influence on music and wasn't generally recognized as great. Boy was a disappointed. What I would never do is include that album on my chart. Ever.

If I don't like an album, it won't be on my chart, regardless of the critical acclaim. The albums that mean the most to me, the ones that I love, those are the ones that go on my chart.
Now I will say that I can understand the importance of an album without actually liking the album as much. So if I'm making a chart of my 100 favorite albums, those will be the albums I like, but that could be different from a 100 most culturally important/significant albums chart.

Whenever I find an album I like that Rolling Stone hasn't included in their top 500 albums I immediately cast it aside, and never listen to it again.

Wait, albums can have personal resonance?

Personal Resonance is much more important when making a personal "best ever albums" list.
It's a personal list!

That said, the more historically significant an album is, the more you're likely to like it, right? Or is it only true within certain groups of people with somewhat common tastes?

I dont think ive found this to be true. My guess is that if I were to take a random album from, say RS500 and compare it to a random album from bandcamp, the chances of me liking one over the other would pretty much be equal.
...
Now that i say that tho im not too sure..  I might have to test this out. This could be a very interesting experiment.
