I can understand why users don't ever put compilations on their overall chart, and I agree with that notion. But Jim Croce is the only exception I make. While his three studio albums aren't strong enough to be on my overall, Photographs and Memories pulls the best songs from his three albums and puts them in a pretty cohesive order. More so, I put Photographs and Memories on my overall because I feel bad for Croce. His life was tragically cut short in a plane crash over 40 years ago, and it seems few people even know who he is nowadays.

Photographs & Memories: His Greates... Jim Croce |
YES! I have "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" on my overall, and even that is just barely in the top 5,000. He's incredibly underrated on this site, and in the music world in general.

We're Gonna Walk Around This City With ...sferatu D2
Overall 47,331
I don't think anyone, besides myself, has even rated it. Blows my mind since it's become somewhat of a cult classic in the UK. Listen to "Springsteen" and tell me it's not one of the most charmingly depressing songs you've ever heard. |
I quite like this album. I even gave it a score so it might not be your lowest ranked album any more  |
Glad you liked it!

Incubation by Function
Straight up no nonsense techno. Anyone who likes Surgeon or Regis should give this a go.

I believe that neither comments nor ratings have any role in an album's rank - just chart placements.

Branigan 2 by Laura Branigan
Overall Rank: 15,812
I actually own and enjoy a lot of pop albums from the 80s and 90s that few people would consider artistic classics, but this is pretty much the only one that I enjoy enough for it to be on my top 100. What it lacks in lyrical depth it makes up for in the strength of Laura Branigan's vocals wedded to production that perfectly balances lush electronic elements with the grandeur of classic arena music, as was typical around the most underrated year for music, 1983.
A few albums by Mariah Carey are also in my top 100, but she's lucky enough to be a lot more famous than Ms. Branigan, who achieved decent success in the early-mid 80s but then faded away after that, and so those three albums are well within the top 5,000, despite their average ratings being in the 60s.

Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
Overall Rank: 15,916
I've come to adore Oingo Boingo since finally digging into their catalogue, and I'm really upset that they aren't more popular here. Their 80s albums are all practically equal in brilliance, but this one gets the slight edge because of its standouts, such as the title track, "Just Another Day," "Same Man I Was Before," and "Weird Science." These guys are like the Talking Heads on heroin, blending fast-paced, innovative, world-influenced new wave with a zany lead vocalist and playfully absurd lyrics. I guess these guys just happen to check every box for my own personal tastes, which I guess don't apply as much to this community.

How do you find the rankings? I typed in 3 different albums and nothing came up.
I think they are unranked.
