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

Let me show you this, a band that comes from no where going no direction, with black thoughts, using invisibilty powers, Showing the real side of the world, kicking the trashes, falling in no loving love, it is the dark side of life and deaTH.. AHHHHHHH WE'RE GONNA KILLLLLLLLLLLL THE CALIFORNIA GURLLLLSSSSSS, This is an album that take the happiness of my body and throw itin a trash, a triturator......... I jump with it, I get on the floor with it, it takes the control of my body and soul, doing things with them that shouldn't happen, but that's the power music
Ahhhh And let the star power get over you, and take your almost dead body and spirit to a room with sounds and noises that explode your thoughts and your chance of hope. One more sonic youth in the top ten, you may think.... "well this dude has two albums of the same band in the top 30". and I have a comfortable and educated answer..."lol fuck off". There is something in Sonic youth that draws my attention, maybe is that the noise that they make can make me (surprisingly) feel relaxed or explosive, it's so many different ways to react in it, that's why it's so good. this is early sonic youth...ahhh good times, the noise still run through their veins, while Kim Gordon is still the perfect girl that I would never met, the teen angst was very huge and strong in their sound, the magic here is sometimes the strong discussion debated in daydream nation, and the angryness (lol) here is what gives the sound here this special touch, it can involve almost all in music what I like, their shape here was never made again (#suckitsister). when the EVol gets in your blood you can't let it go, even that it just gets you for a few minutes, you can't escape from it, is like seeing a black shape draining you slowly, and liking to be part of it. It is like.. A monster decided to eat you but you, in some way, killed him, but when he touched on you you got his thorn, and his curse made you live with that giant thorn in your heart... when You were walking on the street you see someone that you don't know who is you stumble on something and unfortunately kills the person... You get in home and see what you've done, but you discovered the power that you had and you see what everything will become, and you tasted everything and then you say "why I'm feeling that I should be the monster"......and then You became EVOL!!!!! ..... EXPRESSWAYYYYYYYYYYYYY .
to yr SKUUUUUULLLLLLLLLllll.

then everything becomes "ahhhhffhbfherbf iebfhbvntv n4nhggg bewjd4jd9 14j9jkn jnjnhdju irinv urhurnvur ijnrfirn ief hshshshshs" = noise [First added to this chart: 10/27/2013]

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. [First added to this chart: 10/24/2013]

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 93.3/100, 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.
