Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by hahol

I think personal charts always are feelings,combined with nostalgic connections to your youth and childhood favourites melted together with lifeexperiences and strong impressions from the past. I can not point at classic albums from the near past, because defining classics takes time! A great example is Nick Drake!
Some 25 years passed before his genius was rediscovered! I hope there are still several other artists out there to be appreciated and yet are to be discovered from the hidden past!

Beatles' swansong is a decent and magnificent farewell. Mature music and mostly pure manna for the public. From the start Come together to The End, there are lots of genious songs: Something, Oh! Darling, Here comes the sun, Because, and McCartney's trilogy She came in through the bathroom window, Golden Slumbers, Carry that weight.
One of the best albums ever!

The Beatles is an institution in popular music, It is hard to point out the most important album, but Sgt.Pepper was the last album where the groupmembers cooperated with synergy! My favourite track by the group is A day in the life. I never get tired listening to it and of course it is the obvious end of this album. There are albums I appreciate more, but the significance of this album as an artwork is without any doubt! It is said that this record put Brian Wilson into "coma" and set the standard for the year of "summer of love"! [First added to this chart: 10/02/2014]

This has some of their best tunes, but also mediocre ones. Their most eclectic work to date! But on this they are 4 individual soloartists. Still a very impressive doublealbum! [First added to this chart: 12/13/2014]

It might have been on top here, but I feel Revolver is a little bit too much over the top in experimentation and studioresearching activities. There are masterful songs like For no one, Here, there and everywhere, Eleanor Rigby, Good day sunshine here, but the overall atmosphere is overwhelmed by the experimental track Tomorrow never knows. An influential record for the time to come and a great achievement indeed. [First added to this chart: 10/23/2014]

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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.9.

I respect your comment that "defining classics takes time," but I don't find my favorite albums are always classics. And to take that a step further, sometimes I'm just worn out on the classics. I wish there was more outisde of the 60s and 70s, but regardless nice chart with the best descriptions I've read in a while.

Some interesting picks. Great to see some unknown artist and some classics I give 90 points for that.

Not only do you have amazing albums included (from MJ to The Byrds), your descriptions are short and perfect, showing off your emotional intelligence and intellectuality. Don't let NE1 tell otherwise :)

Even if the music is not generally my cup of tea, the care you've taken in writing for each of these albums is astonishing and impressive. That said, I don't think I agree with your statement: "I can not point at classic albums from the near past, because defining classics takes time!" - this shouldn't be a list of albums you 'think' are classics, these are just your favourite albums!! The whole idea of 'classics' is a subjective construction anyway, I fear that some underground picks might miss your radar because of this standardisation of the rock canon. Would be nice to see some more of your fringe tastes come through!!
