Top 100 Greatest Music Albums

This chart shows how I feel music, not how I understand it. If most of albums are from 00s it's because I can live, sleep, dance, cry and shout on that music without thinking I'm an idiot.

If I could I would have put almost all Muse albums at the first places of this chart but it's better to diversify a but. Anyway Origin of symmetry is the album that made me get more interest in prog rock in general thanks to its own diversity of rythms, mélodies and harmonies. Such songs as Plug in baby or New born are strong enough to push me far away. Dark shines starts sweet and slow just to make you more crazy when M. Bellamy plays his solos on hard rythms behind. Bliss is so well named. I wish I would have written the lyrics. "Give me all the peace and joy in your mind". That summarizes well this album finally.

Best Oasis album ever. Music is not the most original one but "definitely certainly" the most touching. The gallagher brothers knew what is the melody that will reach of most people. They did not create a style, but just make it available to everyone. And that's to me the most difficult part of a musician job. As such this album is unarguably the best

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 73.0/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.5.

So many goodies in here. Did not expect to see Plain White T's here (that album's good). Would love more descriptions like your top 2. Keep up!

For someone who gives such harsh ratings to some of the best albums not only in recent memory, but of all time, this chart is supremely underwhelming. Not much variety, only 5 albums before 1990, a huge tendency on including pop-rock and not much else. I do agree with some choices, but this list is nothing interesting.

Top 10 was actually pretty cool, I could see where your tastes lie, and I was excited to see what other, more obscure stuff would appear later on.
Then the rest of the chart happened.
Don't get me wrong, I think the 00's are music's best decade too. I would just choose different albums to back that statement up.

Dude I love Muse too. But putting The Resistance as the 12th best album of all time? That's looking a bit sketchy. Like some other people have said, there's a lot of older artists like David Bowie and Pink Floyd that you'd probably like that you should check out.

I lot of great albums like I've already said, but the problem with the list is the number of same albums of the same artists. Of course it's a question of personal taste, but you should try to listening to more artists to mixed more your list. Again, you can do whatever you want, and like you said, you won't be an idiot for that. Anyway, for me the list is very good, but not so balanced.

This chart is pretty bland to be honest. It's like you've just decided that you like guitar-driven pop-rock and haven't tried to venture out into more interesting genres and innovative bands. I'm not sure whether to admire that or not but regardless, this chart is boring.

Interesting chart. Heteroclite, but some very nice albums in here. Manu Chao!

Everything I listened to in high school and soon forgot about. And I'm sorry but David Guetta and Maroon 5? No. Just no. Looks like a Billboard chart.
