Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by henrygreen0203 
100 artists, 100 albums released between the 1950s-2020s. I unashamedly love the music of American "hillbillies" playing rock music (the literal meaning of "rockabilly") but I also like singer-songwriter country-folk, power-pop, alternative rock and alternative R&B.
I include my ratings and my recommendations.
I hope you discover something here that you never dreamed you would enjoy!

My favorite male-fronted American band of the 2020s.
GENRE: Emo
The lyrics are a major downer, but the music has an interesting uplifting feel to it, almost anthemic.
RECOMMENDED
Track: Losers [First added to this chart: 03/01/2020]

My favorite female-fronted American band of the 2020s.
GENRE: Indie Pop
Beach Bunny have a knack for driving guitars, sing-along choruses and hooky choruses, drenched in heart-on-sleeve lyrics performed by a vocalist that truly sounds like shes bearing her soul and laying it all out for the listener
This is excellent power pop meets indie rock.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Condensed to a 7" Single:
A-Side: Weeds
B-Side Karaoke [First added to this chart: 04/30/2023]

My favorite English artist of the 2020s.
GENRE: Country Soul
In the niche world of Americana, sparse acoustic production reigns supreme, but the genre has many roots in soul and classic R&B, so it's wonderful whenever an artist makes a record with rich production and soulful vocals.
RECOMMENDED
Track: Diamond Studded Shoes [First added to this chart: 07/02/2022]

Dominic Fike has improved his already remarkable production skills (he could make a living solely producing music), honed his melodies, improved his singing and even improved his emotional connection in his lyrics and performances. The singles are absolutely killer. There is Mona Lisa, Fike's most accessible and sexy song yet, Ant Pile, with its unapologetically edgy guitar and The uplifting Dancing in the Courthouse. There's also the sweet 4x4, the playful Mama's Boy and the eerie and bluesy title track.

With a powerful voice that can flex into a scream, Willow's blend of alternative rock, pop and indie rock really packs a punch.

An interesting pop album that brings back turn of the century nu-metal on a couple tracks.

A lovely set that blends the best of teenage themes - angst and heartbreak. Rodrigo can be a little melodramatic but this is permissible with her age. I'm really looking forward to how her career will pan out.

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 87.1/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.3.

Like the chart a lot. Just out of interest, was the 12 or 13 per decade deliberate or a happy coincidence?
