Order good words bad but all WIPs are WIPs forever when it comes to me so I might as well not wait to publish this. Hoping to actually write descriptions instead of relying on the ones I wrote in literally high school someday but *shrug*

"I've loved you more"
When I was born, I'm told that the ride home from the hospital was soundtracked with this album on cassette. I do hope that's a true story, as it's certainly one that makes my life make more sense.
This album was about all I had until 6th grade. I'd heard other Beatles albums but this was always, always my favorite. I knew all the words by heart by kindergarten, and sang them so often (and so poorly) that my friends pooled together about $5 to pay for me to get singing lessons.
This album's matured with me though. It isn't here for nostalgia. This is part of what pulled me out from depression. This, coupled with and soundtracking a number of other minor developments, was what it took to remind me of the happiness that exists in life, and that maybe I just needed to be more actively searching for it.
I think it's because I've been able to find some more stability in my life that this has come back to number one. Deja will always have my back, but this has me in the right mood, you know?
Favorite song: In My Life. My favorite song, frankly. [First added to this chart: 08/01/2013]

"I'm not afraid anymore"
For an album filled with what many would think of as an overwhelming negativity, that lines always been the one that sticks with me. Unknown Pleasures is raw in the most pure sense. Every emotion, every mood, everything appears over the course of this album.
I first found this album in 6th grade, after receiving my first ever iTunes gift card. I logged onto iTunes to buy a Beatles album, as that's all I listened to, and was shocked to see that they weren't on there. I pulled up the previews for this, as I knew it was a favorite of my dad's. It was alright, but the previews can be deceiving, so I ended up buying a "Best of ELO" instead.
Then, in 7th grade, we bought a record player that converts to MP3. For my dad's birthday, I went to record this and put it on his iPod. From the first drum strike on Disorder, I was taken by the rhythm. By the emotion. By the distortion, by the pain, by the energy.
This album is one of a select few that have, at some point in my existence, stopped me from doing anything exceedingly stupid while I was depressed. I sat down at my computer, in tears from something dumb, a fight with my mom, a breakup, a fight with a friend, etc, and wanted nothing more than to die. This album was the outlet, the release. This let all the pain I felt in my flow from my head through my earbuds into the speakers and back out as Ian's voice, as Hooky's bass, as the whole cacophony of chaos Hannett placed overtop all of it. This album is why my heart still beats.
Favorite song: Disorder. First song I learned to play on bass, and still one of my favorite bass lines to play or listen to. I've shared this story here before, but one of my closest friends and I were hanging out pretty early in our friendship, still getting to know each other, and I threw on "Disorder" on her spotify. She dropped her clothes she'd been pulling out to pack and just started dancing to the bass. That was the moment I knew I'd met a lifelong friend. Chaos should be celebrated.

"Someday my pain will mark you"
If the above album is chaos, this is acceptance. Justin wrote this for a high school love, and fittingly, this album found me around the time I fell hard for the first time, entering high school. I heard "RE:Stacks" for the first time on HOUSE and bought the album shortly after. Sent a youtube video of "RE:Stacks" to a friend who was just excited he had a song "named after her" (a running joke).
Fast forward almost 3 years. I'm sitting here today. I'm moved on. This album was the roller coaster that got me through everything everyone knew me as whiny for on this site. This album is to me equal parts love and heartbreak. It's not a tale of maturity - quite the opposite, in fact, Vernon, who'd long since left his "love" has only just realized he's still caught up on someone he never had much of a chance with to begin with - but rather of going "eh, I'm in this, I'll deal". This is the dealing. This is another album which stopped me from doing some stupid things to myself, just because I felt the attachment, felt that someone else had been there.
Favorite song: Terribly difficult choice, but For Emma. Incredibly haunting track, and in context of the album, very different, very built and structured. [First added to this chart: 07/26/2013]

"Make tiny changes to Earth"
What am I supposed to say now that Scott is gone that hasn't been said? I got to see this album's 10th anniversary tour, which breathed fresh life into an album I already loved. This feels so wrong to listen to at times, and so encouraging at others, and so crushing at other times still. It's a morbid beauty, and one that has brought me such comfort and strength in hard times. [First added to this chart: 11/21/2013]

"I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth"
This album came into my life when "Hey There Delilah", David Gray, and Five For Fighting was about all you heard at my house. So I think when I first heard "I Will Follow You Into The Dark", I sort of rolled my eyes that it was just more of my parents music. But I sat down and gave it a proper listen and really fell in love.
Favorite track: Different Names For The Same Thing. That chorus, vocally, is absolutely crushing. It's just haunting, it's like whistling in an empty, damp house. Oh, chills down my spine. [First added to this chart: 08/01/2013]

"What sticks in my mind
Is the dew drop hanging off your nose
Shriveled up and blue
And I'm getting older too
But I don't want to die like you"
Oh Skylarking. Took me much too long to listen to this, my dad's cassette version died when I tried for the first time. I was in the shower, listening on my little cassette player to the album, a random choice, but my choice nonetheless, and it just exploded. Tape had gone bad.
When I eventually did find this album at Rasputin's, I bought it for my dad as I felt bad for the tape. This is the album that makes it the highest on my list without having any kind of nostalgia. This album is here due to its art. The chord changes have never been equaled, the time signature on "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" is still rarely used. This is math rock, maybe, by the definition I've heard round here, but more than anything it's beauty.
Favorite song: Dear God. If you have a problem with the message behind this song, poo on you. This is what made me question ... everything. And I found my own answers as a result.
EDIT: lostcontrol pointed out correctly that Dear God wasn't on the original version. So Another Satellite. Sillier song, but dark and strangely floaty. Floaty? Floaty. [First added to this chart: 07/26/2013]

"I'm just a normal boy that sank when I fell overboard"
Damn this album needs some love on this site. I ... there's not words to describe it. It's a kid who got pushed to hard off the swings, bled on the ground and cried for a while, then got up and smiled.
This is an album I really wish I had when I was battling against myself. It's an album that seems to have reached out to a lot of people, just by being general yet universal in its messages. While musically simple (the whole album sticks to the same key signature and largely the same chords in different progressions), there's a deeper feeling here in the voice and in the instrumentation, especially in the strings, that just take this album to an incredible level. Really worth giving a listen to whenever you're struggling in life.
Favorite song: Congratulations. Bittersweet is my favorite emotion, and this captures it beautifully, both in the lyrics and in the pain felt through Justin's voice against the peppiness of Imogen Heap. [First added to this chart: 07/26/2013]

"And when you go to sleep tonight
You'll find you have that same old dream "
This album is a symphony of weird. Tritones, tritones, tritones. Reininger's strings and vocals, matched with Brown's saxophone and Peter Principle (of The Residents fame)'s minimalist drums range from horror film soundtrack to almost danceable music. There's an eeriness through, largely due to Brown's whale-like saxophone work. Every lyric is strange in a way that is beautiful, and every song never goes anywhere while taking you everywhere. It's a very strange experience, and I think, one of the finest post-punk experiences ever created.
Favorite song: 59 To 1. A masterpiece of saxophone work, an infectious bassline, a terrifyingly confusing music video, and haunting lyrics make for a brilliant combination. [First added to this chart: 08/13/2013]

"Do you want to die? Fine, you're right, but I wonder what it feels like to stop feeling so alive."
I wasn't a huge fan of this album, or this band, when I first encountered them. Several people, including Rocky, had suggested them to me, and I'd listened to some but was whelmed. It was only when they came to my school for a free show that I went with a friend and really got into the music. I'd decided I liked "Recycling" and "Size of the Moon" before the show, and came out liking their whole set.
[This lifechanging experience docummented in Pinegrove's live album, all 11/29/16 dates https://pinegrove.bandcamp.com/album/elsewhere]
I still don't fully know where this will settle on my list, but it's brought me immense comfort in a variety of contexts at a variety of times. [First added to this chart: 11/17/2017]

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 is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.8/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

If you're really kind of just getting into Jazz I wouldn't recommend you listen to Sun Ra's Atlantis first. Check out Fate in a Pleasant Mood or The Magic City by him.
Also maybe check out St. Vincent's Marry Me, her best work in my opinion, her self titled latest release was pretty bland. ( I missed this one in my initial comment.)
I would appreciate if you left me some recs in return if you get the chance, as I'd love to hear anything you think I might like. For the record I wasn't offended or anything by the Nevermind comment, so don't worry about it.

I love Random Access Memories, I have that on my chart also :-)
My recs pour vous:
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon (classic)
HAIM - Days Are Gone (a bit poppy perhaps but these are some solid, enjoyable, well-written and well-produced tracks. Good critical acclaim)
St. Vincent _ St. Vincent (quite new, I'm still digesting it myself but I have a feeling I'm going to grow to love it. Great critical acclaim)
LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening (my favourite and the final album from this band, they really perfected to whole dance meets punk sound here in my opinion. Great critical acclaim again)

You should definitely listen to it! It is considered a seminal album in the par of Exile, Sgt. Pepper's, Rubber Soul and the White Album listed in your top 10. I am saying this with the fear of raising your expectations and possibly feeling disappointed after listening to it, so is is best to listen to it without any prejudice, whether positive or negative.

Replying to your comment on my Punk chart-
I love Joy Division. I adore them. I have an album of theirs in my top 10. But they don't really fit the bill of what I was trying to accomplish with the chart. All the Post-Punk I included was still very indebted to Punk, and were mostly still rather fast paced and aggressive. I don't feel that either of Joy Division's albums really fit into that, a majority is just too slow paced and brooding.
I like some Gilman stuff, just not enough to get on the chart. (But Green Day, seriously? Fuck Green Day)
I really dislike Ska, I find it extremely annoying for the most part. Perhaps it's because I heard so much of it when I was younger, perhaps it's because I've had Ex's who were super into it. But for whatever reason, I think it's terrible.
Also the charts not meant to be some giant map of all major Punk subgenres and movements, they're just my favorites.
