Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by courtesyflush83 
1 album per album to keep it from being stagnant and repetitive.
this is in order.
*if I could, I would easily place the swans here. Not sure which album by theirs, maybe the seer, soundtrack for the blind or white light from the mouth of infinity. I would of also added Brian Enos' Music for Airports. Ran out of space. A few more albums that would of made it on the list easily but I couldn't due to space is Emergency Third Rail Power Trip by Rain Parade and 1/2 Gentlemen/Not Beast by Half Japanese.
I guess this is my chance to take a shot on the terrible rating system i've found on here by users. Gotta keep in mind this image people http://i.imgur.com/1he2Jbi.png

I hate to admit this after the shit you just did in the forums but that is one great chart. Not much obscurities though.

OK chart but missing 60's & 70's albums. So much great music during that period. You really need to check out older albums. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised. Overall, decent chart.

Your chart is mad dope. Seriously, I love it. Trompe Le Monde as the only Pixies album is a little heartbreaking, but seeing The La's, Portishead and Guided By Voices so high is really great. Nice job.

The reason I said that your chart is "not the most original" is the same thing that Cymro said: "not much obscurities". Pretty much everything on your chart is universally acclaimed but not as mainstream as The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. I wouldn't call it eccentric. Like others have said, look at The Poe or Applerill or Lethalnezzle's charts (just a few that came to my mind at the word "eccentric"). I'd consider eccentric to be unique or unusual. There's nothing I haven't heard of in your chart. For that reason I don't consider your chart to be eccentric. I'm not saying make your chart more like Poe or Nezzle's, I'm just saying be honest and instead of talking about how eccentric you are, give recommendations.
If you think my chart is full of cliches, well, no offense taken. But it's still the music I like. And honestly your chart is very good. We have a bunch of albums in common. However, I'm not a fan of the one-album-per-artist thing. I get that the point is to show variety, but it's just a personal preference I guess. One of my problems when I originally saw the chart was that I saw that you had copied reviews for albums from other websites, which isn't cool. And then seeing your chart. I mean...it might as well be Pitchfork chart idk. If this is your honest top 100, then it's very nice. But please understand my reservations.
Also, as a side note: I ALWAYS look at all 100 (or however many) albums in a chart before I rate or comment on the chart. I won't rate a chart if there's too many albums I haven't heard before (though I may comment). Also, I agree with the imgur link you posted about rating things (works for anything: movies, hotels, video games, not just music), but I operate differently for users' charts. Anyway, I removed my rating from your chart because it was inconsistent with my typical rating system.
