Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by shamp30
Well this is less a GREATEST MUSIC ALBUMS OF ALL TIME list and more a list of albums I've been completely obsessed over the years. The Pastels Illuminati is a remix disk that would definitely be a desert island disk of mine, though there's a Motown remix disk that's pretty cool, too. I probably would have picked a larger collection of Little Richard songs, but that first album cover is amazing. There are a few best of collections here, but I those are the albums I know them by. I tried to put them in some kind of order, but it was pretty random in the end.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.8.

Love this chart. Personal, varied, picks I can relate to
I love this chart! However, if you are using the 'one album per artist' rule, cut it. It's a lot nicer to read an artist-heavy chart than to see a 'one album per artist' chart. However, if that's just coincidental, then I'd recommend listening to more from the artists you love.
Cool Chart
Love "Pink Opaque", "Spangle maker" is one of my most favorite albums tracks also, love Neko Case and "real Ramona", "Honeychain" is an amazing song(I remember driving around Death Valley on my way to Yosemite with "Real Ramona" playing on my car cassette player, every time I listen to "honeychain", I think of being in the desert..It is one of those great songs that has become lost to history but should have been regarded as one of the few 80s classic songs...
and really like the Joanna Newmsome album....do you like "The Fox Confessor"...really like "Madeline vs. Pauline"..another amazing song...
There are about five albums on your list that I don't know, and our charts our completely different but really appreciate your taste.
Listen to what I'm saying: kiss your loved ones.
I disagreed with almost half of your list, but good grief the other half was fabulous. I loved the Superchunk, Big Star and Soft Boys inclusions. God bless you Shamp30! They are all woefully forgotten bands that deserve much better.
Hey, thanks for the comment! I think Wire is great. I've only listened to Pink Flag, so I admittedly need to get into their stuff more.
Another "Nowhere" fan... and nice to find "Juju" up here, really underrated. Great chart !
Awesome chart! Sister Lovers and 69 Love Songs are inspired choices.
I really like this chart.
