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

Honestly I don't really know from where and why I create these musical comparisons, but Jim O' Rourke's records have many similarities with medieval sculptures of gods for me, while Eureka pictures a young sculptor that doesn't rush any of his lines, everything seems all handmade, and the beauty is in the details of each curve of the album's the body of work, Insignificance is all composed of new working tools, that although offers us a bigger image, the shine of the details is replaced with sharp curves, that removes a certain elegance from his acoustic guitar playing. I've began to appreciate Jim's music since he worked with Sonic youth in Murray Street, his drone sounds surely gave the record a new breeze of fresh air; but everything changed last year when I heard "Eureka" for the first time, I was completely blown away for his melancholic-alcoholic songwriting, and his late-night song crafting style. That being said, one of the most difficult tasks to solve while listening to an artist's discography for me is to stop comparing older and newer works into a same page of enjoyment, that's why it took so long for me to click with Insignificance after listening to Eureka and Simple songs last year. O' Rourke is not worried about continuing his older american primitivism vibe, here he moves to a more rockier sound, of course his jazzy and singer-songwriter influences are still melted all over this record, but the way he chooses to explore these influences is very different from his older records and colabs, the foggy and lonely sound is now replaced with an injection of clearer and more visible art-pop (or indie rock if I dare) music. The guitar arrangements are all followed by a pulsating instrumentation, composed principally of more usual sounds than he is used to work (the loud presence of the drums contrasting the delicate melodies was something I had a hard time dealing with in the first spins), that unfortunately doesn't add much expressiveness to the sound created over here, actually the emotion and the arrogant sadness is overthrown by this strong musical accompaniment. Besides all of that change, Jim can still keep up with his essence over the unrolling of the record, his writing, that feels more modern and more interactive with the listener, is still on top, with cruel yet spiritual material on his lines (You failed again/ Like a house that needs a floor to be stepped on) that implicitly describes the contemporary vices & Virtues, also his guitar picking, even with the electric support, still blooms many of the songs, his sliding solos are the highlight of this record, even in more energetic and harder songs like "All Downhill From Here", there is still space to fit some more crafted composing. Insignificance only gets better with each listen, the ongoing of multiple plays allows that the most simple evidences of great composing float to the surface of your ears, songs like "Good times" will never sound the same when you finally let that glidering sound slip through your mind and memories. This is the perfect abrupt tender side to Jim's personality coin, the other being the psychedelic melancholy of Eureka. Being ignored by your best friend and family in a beige room has never sounded so thrilling.

I saw the documentary "Amy" last week, well done work that completely blew me away btw, worth checking out if you haven't yet, and it has efficiently worked as a ticking reminder for me, that for some mumbo reason haven't listened to any Winehouse's records (pun not intended). I decided to begin with back to black because it was the most well rated of hers anywhere I go a record that I had some familiarity with (I remember tuning on MTV in early sunday afternoons when I was younger, where some of the singles here played along with bands like mcfly and Gnarls Barkley). To be totally honest, I didn't know what to expect for the complete thing before listening, sure I had already heard three of the lead singles of this album ("Rehab, "Back to black, "...I'm no good") and they were spectacular in my sphere of enjoyment, but I was worried that the rest of the album would be filled with tons of slower musical pieces that would focus primarily on Amy's voice, which would bum me totally out for having such a contrasting tone in the same record. Boy, I was dying of thirst on the expectation beach.
Totally chilling experience, from the first note of "Rehab" to the last line of "Addicted", Amy pours her unrealized fairy-tale poetry over the listener, tunes that know how to spotlight her wonderful vocal performance, in a way that she feels totally comfortable with the space the instrumentation allows her to perform with, that contributes for a more personal and intimate experience, and all of this is just the album's pleasure needle, there is still a lot to enjoy between these compositions. I have stuck in my mind an image of Amy not really caring for what and how everything is being performed over here, she is just doing the things she is used to do, not for money's sake or for public admiration, but because she finds relief and escapism singing and writing. "Back to black" (the main song included here) has an epic touch all over it that still gives me goosebumps after all those years, the melancholic storytelling that Amy performs is perfectly sided with the backing vocals' dreary elegy, a mythical yet human tragedy, that is then kissed by the sweet ghostly melodies that float all over the chorus, sustained over those background endling chant.
The production is completely neat, Mark Ronson has earned a special spot in my heart's sofa after mastering and producing this, he orchestrated all the symphonic instrumentation in such an eargasmic way, that even the less trained and ignorant ears would be astonished of how rich and diverse it sounds while following Amy's track. I often talk about the consistency of the records on this music diary, for the reason that it is a major factor which affects my vision in many albums, but I feel this one doesn't need any words to describe how concretely it flows, mostly because Amy pulls such an extravagant yet authentic presentation all through the record, that not even a single word or note is counted as lost here, she had the ability to create something softly organized from the chaos she was jammed into [First added to this chart: 12/24/2016]

Jeff Rosenstock's Worry is my contender for best well dressed elegant-teen angst record of all time, imagine if Billy Joel listened to Abbey Road and the Damned when he was a teenager in the early 2000's. This is Worry, my current album of the year, I recommend to everyone who has two ears and a heart that beats like a tambourine, and if you liked the new Car Seat Headrest, this should be written on your "remember to listen" notes. Besides the similarities with dozens and dozens of other bland Indie-Rock albums from this (and last) decade, There is something very exciting (just look at that man smiling on the cover) and unique in Worry, Jeff manages to create in every song a pop masterpiece, His vocal melodies dance side-by-side with the musical arrangements, it is catchy while not losing the essence of a in depth record because of the amazing songwriting, based principally in Jeff's memories and experiences in his youth, where will your friends go after college? Weird Conspiracy theories, and being awkward in public, in the perspective both as an adult (Recognizing what happened to other friends, and his idols, the paranoia of being a internet surfer) and as a Teenager (represented in his wishes to do things that aren't socially associated to his current age). It's interesting to conclude this is a very pessimistic record, as much as he tries to make things differently right now, he is already tied to the monotony and the responsibilities of being an adult, remembering how he used to enjoy his time in the past, what strongly contrasts with his current alcoholic state of mind. I like to divide this record in two parts, the first part (from "We begged 2 Explode to "I did Something Last night") are the most shaped and crafted songs, Jeff knows how to use everything he has in his dusty garage to make music, you can clearly, after many listens, say that this is where Rosenstock spend most of his production time in, differently from the second part in which the lack of a more specialized production is sacrificed to inject more energy, the sound is raw and crude, you can't blink two times in a row and you are already entering in another tune, a punk medley a là Beatles . The consistency is the key to this record, Jeff makes the album flow like liquid, and even with the Power-pop (bordering with Punk-pop) label, that tends to sum up in records supported weakly only in strong main singles, the record still pulls the listener attention to the maximum with the most simple songs through its quick and ghostly transitions. A thing that is often addressed in my chart or my musical reflections is how much an album can relate to my death-of-innocence-status quo, and from the many records I've already wrote about inside this topic, Worry is the one that made the biggest hole, not only because Jeff's older voice is something very different from the younger-core that is recognized for producing this style of music (Arcade Fire in Suburbs, Anco in Spirit They're Gone are examples), but also because we are dealing with someone that sounds like a father, someone that seems tired, someone that already has experienced much of adulthood to compare its beige color to his colored youth. All these magics moments were forgotten once the magic was gone.

Ahhhhhh. Daydream nation you will always be in a special room in my heart. I Honestly at times try to don't like this album because I feel it's taking a huge part of my music love that I supposed to share with another albums, but when I listen to this I feel like I could listen to only this my whole life, Not only for the music, but the messages that I feel here, Something I want to see happening to change the future, or I would like to see changed someday...When I was travelling by aeroplane I put this album to play randomly, and it was like wow I would take any aeroplane again, Like it began with the fear of flying about "trilogy", but it ended at 6:30 when The sun was beginning to shine with "teen age Riot" And the feelings to be getting in the place gone high, looking to the windows and creating images with clouds while listening to this is amazing. I first loved "Teen Age Riot" the main song and the best Sonic Youth's Song (for me). It always brought me for good thoughts, that catchy intro and then the shining guitar that suddenly appears leaving the song happier and optimistic. I feel like I can be young again when I listen to it the song renews me, It is like seeing all my childhood with a positive way to see it, and takes some lessons from it. "Teenage Riot", It is just a shinny song, The band sings with their spirit, and I can see that teen generation spirit in that song.The lyrics makes a lot of sense it has some irony but It's something we want to scream and we can relate to, even the "we", because You can't go alone to a riot so the song makes you feel that there a people like you in that riot you're not alone. Then Comes "Silver Rocket" a song that remembers me of something related to rebellions and protests. It's fast, aggressive and has a amazing progression. It is fast, taking the album to another to another direction, something not so friendly and angry, that spits on the floor. And the song proves what is already to come with its noise section, something that they would improve in the future. the album begins to become more lyrical when "The Sprawl" and "Eric's Trip" come bringing arguments and thoughts that made me reflex. May not be Great songs (Musically) but the lyrics maintain the Greatness. I love the way how Kim sings or just transmits her messages, I love this way, I believe that women can express their angry better than me, The lightness of the women becomes a gun. I like the message in the sprawl , it is like we are getting to much commercial or just being corrupted by the capitalism mind, then we can ignore what peoples like or do, because they makes us think that only what we do is right, and Kim can approach this theme like no one. When I listen I feel that I'm into this album it can capture my heart and soul, We can also reflect with this album, we can see rain falling a piano playing losing our lives in the boring cities everyday, discover memories of a lover and forgetting person in "candle" that went out of our life when nobody noted and made a deep cut in us. And for The End there is no better way the album with a eternal song like "Trilogy": Begins with the wonder, Thurston's voice begins to oppose the guitar and the drums, but when the solo comes the their time is unforgettable. The song transports you to another level when "Hyperstation" comes. Sound effects and the guitar un-tunning bring the direction to follow in that space, looking just for a direction to follow. It's like, a dark road and there is no light but the car that you've been driven with your friend,And in the end "ELIMINATOR JR." BLOW!!! Fucking destroyer guitars and fast and killing drums, all just to this end with a golden star.

2015 was very long year, it was infinite while it lasted, it felt most like a journey of self-knowledge and resistance, I was pushed to the limits of my own feelings and regrets. I had 3 really hard months, my family structure was falling apart, friends who simply disappeared when I most needed them, Disappointments: one after another. But in the end of the year I concluded that it was probably, the best year in my life, because even with enormous issues above my shoulders, I grew strong as a tree, I learned that no matter how strong is the wind, I still can keep myself breathing from my roots, I am soft, but I'm not fragile, I am a human being! We all are, and we all go through hard times, we all go through great times, and I shouldn't feel ashamed of letting my emotions flow by. And for all of this I can only thank to you Emma, you that many nights lied beside me, you that played your guitar to me, you that made me realize how much the world is complex, and how simple it is at the same time, how paradoxical our existence is, you that made me feel a part of something again, you that made something burst inside me again, Thank you Emma, wherever you are right now.

A middle-age photographer flies to new york to get his best shot at the city and the stars, but he becomes obsessed with an actress, a weird obsession and possessive history comes on for the later weeks. Glam Eno, I had a quite hard time with glam eno, since I always thought that eno was a quiet man that would only make music for airports, getting into this era of his was not easy, getting this image of him with a long hair and dressed flamboyantly was hard as fawkes, but thank god it worked, this is one of his most complete works, the glamurousness of his lyrics collides symmetrically with the odd instrumentation here, he displays all this beauty in the main track, which closes the show, here come the warm jets displays a young lad with all that newer energy that then was spilled in quieter moments, it's fun to see how he works with all this glamorousness he has.

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.

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.
