Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by pinkfreud1981

This is a list of my favorite albums. I'm not including classical music or hip hop, the latter because I haven't listened to enough, and the former because I need a list specifically for classical. I tried to do the one album per band thing, but I just couldn't . There are some masterpieces that I can´t leave out even if I have to sacrifice some variety.

An album that moves me every time you listen to it. An album that has it all in my opinion, a deep and relevant concept, a portrait of the predatory system we live in (credits to Mr. Orwell, of course) an album full of dark poetry with keyboards that create a gloomy and hypnotic atmosphere that surrounds everything. Gilmour's guitars seem to me especially deep and melancholic on this one. Someone could say that Wish You Were Here has better worked melodies and that Dark Side is more innovative and more diverse in its instrumentation, but for me there is something here, perhaps the beligerance, I don´t know, but it has a dark and beautiful feeling that makes it a little (very little) above other Pink Floyd masterpieces.

Pink Floyd's greatest artistic statement in my opinion. An ambitious concept album with operatic characteristics, deeply psychological, but also political; very intimate at times but also agressive and orchestral at others. Musically it is wonderfully varied: the instrumental palette includes distorted guitars, backing vocals, brass, string arrangements, piano, and some electronics and sound effects. Vocally it is Pink Floyd's most expressive album. The production is impeccable and makes the little interludes flow perfectly. This is possibly the most important album in my life, possibly one of the most important works of art of my life, the strength with which it expresses the feelings of sadness and loneliness always moves me. A work of art that surpasses the traditional boundaries of Rock. Masterpiece. [First added to this chart: 04/14/2011]

Nothing new can be said about this. It´s the quintesential art rock album. I remember the first time I listened to it, after the heratbeat at the end I was silent for a few minutes trying to understand what had happened. A masterpiece that will live as long as mankind lives. [First added to this chart: 03/14/2010]

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 87.1/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.3.

Fantastic chart and with 33 albums in common I tend to agree with most of the picks. Particularly love seeing 5 albums from Sigur Ros in particular.

gran lista amigo, me fascina ver tu amor por bandas como Yes ó Sigur Rós, pero lo que más me agradó fue ver a Thick a Brick tan alto en la lista, uno de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos

You commented on my chart so now I'm looking back to yours to see how much we truly did overlap.

All I can say is I know I'll be using your rankings for a while to find new music, starting with the Thick as a Brick.
