Paul Weller in my opinion is the finest plain speaking lyricist I've heard. What he writes you get immediately (no deciphering required!). Even as 9 or 10 year old I got it which is probably why they not only conquered the UK music scene but gained the hearts of kids in every playground across the country. Started out as a concept album which Weller unable to complete ditched, but what was finally released still holds up today with perhaps 'Little Boy Soldiers' which was part of the original concept, even more relevant in todays world than what it was back then. Wasteland I find so vivid that I can smell late 1970's Britain as I listen. [First added to this chart: 11/23/2013]

The album where it all clicked, Weller's songwriting went up several notches on this one as his band finally found their own niche. Down in a tube station at midnight is a lyrical masterpiece. [First added to this chart: 03/21/2014]

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 91.4/100, a mean average of 91.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

An exciting chart - love having so many outliers and how each means something uniquely special to you. If I had been born about 20 years later I could easily imagine this would be my chart! We do have 2 albums in common despite the difference! Glad to see one Aussie & one NZ album in the mix.

Just a gorgeous, personal, vitality-inducing chart. Can't believe it was created seven years ago and I'm only finding it now???

Cool! Started off like a number of charts but ended up having a bunch of lesser known artists which I appreciate. There's many I need to check out from your chart. Especially since I want to get more familiar with the late eighties and early nineties.

Really cool chart and I also like your notes. The personal anecdotes help me to appreciate where you're coming from with this distinctive taste of yours. I really don't know why I never gave Pavement much of a chance; they're quite enjoyable.

Love this chart! Would like to check out some of the few I haven't heard at some stage...and props for Goon Sax and Beach Slang. Not in my faves but I really enjoyed them, and I like seeing some unique choices.
