Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Antonio-Pedro
"God gave us music so that we, first and foremost, will be guided upward by it. All qualities are united in music: it can lift us up, it can be capricious, it can cheer us up and delight us, nay, with its soft, melancholy tunes, it can even break the resistance of the toughest character. Its main purpose, however, is to lead our thoughts upward, so that it elevates us, even deeply moves us. ... Music also provides pleasant entertainment and saves everyone who is interested in it from boredom. All humans who despise it should be considered mindless, animal-like creatures. Ever be this most glorious gift of God my companion on my life's journey, and I can consider myself fortunate to have come to love it. Let us sing out in eternal praise to God who is offering us this beautiful enjoyment.
- Nietzsche in 1858
This chart needs some work to blossom away, still need to end some notes from my diary, men at work in progress.
Love you all, Antonio Momonio <3

When I was younger (5 or 6 years old probably) I used to watch a lot of MTV programs and songs, and in 2004 American Idiot was released. I was a young kid, i never had contact with punk before, and why should Have? Anyways... this album was the first door to the punk multiverse. I remember going to my room after buying AI for the first time, as excited as a hot air baloon, I ran to my bedroom, turned on my sound system and just listened to it very loud. It was fast, and by that time for me: Fast = Great (haha silly Antonio look at you right now), so when the first song blew up my surround system I was exploding atomic emotions inside. There was even a time when I unthinkingly decided to listen to that album while my father was sleeping, well I thought my headphones was working, but no, it wasn't, the song almost demolished my house's structure. When Green Day worked in AI I can't picture they not listening to "Quadrophenia" at least once, and I know this a bold statement, (and I used to think this for a long time too my dear reader!) But you can't just close your eyes and/or ears, and ignore the similarities, (The existence of a protagonist, demons that need to be exorcised and there it goes). The title song doesn't even let you breathe, the album shows its Triumph, a quick song following the punk rule of having three riffs, that always leaves me euphoric. Then we have the monumental "Jesus of suburbia" a eternal soap-opera with 9 minutes divided in various tunes, displaying tales about the classical teen-angst agony from the 00s'. What I like in the song is how can create a lot of mini songs with just some riffs, and how they can sometimes sound so different, even though they are using the same note progression from the beginning to the end. A thing that I also like in this album so much is how they don't let the album freeze, They tie a lot of songs together, To maybe keep that punk energy, or just say that everything that they play (slow or Fast) is around a big punk atmosphere. "Give Me Novacaine" is that little Rest that You need, something classic, emo or whatever.. And when you think that you can finally sleep, the album joins "She's a rebel" And slaps the album and your face again, Sometimes it can Trick you. Through the album's road you will be dealing with characters that have characteristics similar to what was the hype by that time, and that's what I love in American Idiot, Through the music, they developed characters that can be glued to a date and a personality directly related to all the climate in that date. American Idiot is tied to me in a more sentimental way than musically itself, that's why sometimes I feel the album is starting to get weaker and weaker as it goes down in my chart, but whenever I listen to it, the cinema in my head begins to put a old movie to play, those are my memories, and hell if an album can do that, it is more than special to me. Dang, I'm getting old. [First added to this chart: 10/24/2013]
The truth is that I've never been a jazz fan, of course like all the kids that are trying to get into the genre for the first time (wew, my first miles album was this and I had only 17 years and revisited all Jim O'Rourke discography), Miles Davis is the easiest and most looked spotlight to get into the genre. And while I can understand why Kind of blue gets all te praise it has, I don't feel it displaying the sonic development and emotional connection that In a silent way has to me. While the most quiet moments are the ones which steal my breath whenever this album unfolds into my stomach, I feel like miles trumpet sound is quite often overlooked or eclipsed by the genious playing that the other instruments have around him. Their ability to keep the song flowing in such a smooth way is what keeps me into the album and not letting it pass as a background listen, it's intense in a theoric manner which attracts me as the smell of a strawberry pie attracts the dogs and neighboors on old cartoons. I may not know a lot about the construction and arrangements or if there is any rules going over here, if there it is, it would kinda disapoint me because I put my soul that they are truly improvising all these variations with heart and soul. Without a doubt though, miles is sweating all his heart and soul in each song, if you listen really closely you can feel it dropping on the floor, this is quite unexplicable for such a poor mind as mine.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.9/100, a mean average of 93.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

titanic rising #1 is based
Maybe I should give Titanic Rising a new spin.
Very nice. I like the added info under each choice as well. Explanations and information referring to the choice and the reason picked helps the reader a lot. I've done a few, buy not all. Very sad that that the number one album, "Eureka," can't be found in most places, or anywhere else to purchase or listen, except on youtube.
I just listened to Eureka. Mind-blowing
Great chart and the effort that has gone into the accompanying notes really makes in come alive.
Just want to mention that the greatest list for me is done for now.
One of the best charts! I love Eureka and Long Season very much.
From the albums that I do know and your descriptions on the ones I don't this chart is sick! I'll be listening to a lot of new albums thanks to this chart
A+ 5 stars just for incredibly well written commentary on your fave albums. Lots of time to compile this
Finally time to mine this for recs
