Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Nyoink77

These are not the greatest albums of all time, by any means. I have added some diversity over the years! Any recommendations are welcome!
Currently trying to make my chart balanced, as far as decades go (Pretty difficult for me, but I'm trying nonetheless)
1 album per artist, as variety is more pleasing to the eye.

It's sexy, it's dark, it's emotional, it's atmospheric, in one word: brilliant. I prefer enjoying it alone, lights closed. Buy the deluxe edition of it now, it's worth it. Really. [First added to this chart: 12/22/2015]

A fantastic shoegaze album in my book. Loveless, Souvlaki, Nowhere should have been included here as well, but I preferred to add this more of an undergroundish gem. Guitar distortion and obscured, ethereal vocals are addicting, be sure to explore this subgenre! [First added to this chart: 12/26/2017]

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 88.6/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.7.

These are mostly gems. Not the usual gems. But still gems. Good range of genres, age, atmosphere.

I like it. Very adventurous. I wonder why you don't see Tricky and Philip glass and Tangerine Dream and Mazzy Star more often around here. I got a fuck-ton of those guys in my charts. Everybody should, actually.

Eclectic and unique tastes! I love all the obscure, atypical choices. (At least for this site, which is alternative-heavy.)

Very interesting chart. Lots of great music that isn't so popular on this site, which is cool to see.
