Top 36 Greatest Music Albums by buckchilly 
First and foremost I haven't nearly listened to enough music to warrant an all time top album list, and until I can do 100 I'll stick to one album per band (so there will be some shifting)
But what I've tried not to do is let what I've been listening to recently to bias this chart, using my last.fm and record collection as basis alongside my favourites of the last few years.
As with all charts there's a story behind every album and a why I connect with it.

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 86.9/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.1.

Hahaha, I was listening to and loving Elder's new album, so I decided I should check out who else on the site liked them. And of course the only chart they show up on is yours. Makes sense. Hope you're good anyway. Also, the new Elder's fantastic, although I guess you already knew that.

Woah Colour Haze, The Machine, Causa Sui...good shit, man.

When it expands, it will be interesting to see if there's as much of a prog rock flavour.
@Buckchilly, I would have chosen Blackwater Park, then Still Life, then Reveries, then Damnation.
@Defeat213, I've never been a Blackwater Park person, if it wasn't Ghost Reveries it would be Morningrise or Still Life. Can I ask what you'd chose?
@lethalnezzle touché! Sleep's Holy Mountain will probably make the top 100.
Although I can definitely agree with most of this chart, I'm just not feeling Ghost Reveries on there instead of a different Opeth album.
Thanks @tgarritsen & @genesisfoxtrot21, I'll add a few more everyday. Hopefully be done by Christmas.

It seems you like a lot of prog. rock. Waiting to see more albums.
