Top 75 Greatest Music Albums
by shoopadoowop

I've limited this chart to one album per artist, though the ranking may change frequently as I'm always changing my mind on what I like better. Please keep in mind that everything here is ranked on a level of personal enjoyment. Hope you like my chart.

v2.0 Expanded from 50 to 75 (currently working on the next 25)
v1.3 Added a few descriptions, still working on the rest though.
v1.0 Expanded from 25 to 50.

The Beatles are a band that just got better with age, proof of that being that their very last album, though not the last released, it was the last recorded and I truly believe it is their best. [First added to this chart: 04/27/2015]

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 86.6/100, a mean average of 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.6.

While some inclusions I've yet to see as great (maybe only 10), the sheer diversity and depth of your choices are fantastic. Great chart!

Really good chart. Also, although the later Flaming lips stuff is fantastic, their late 80's/early 90's stuff is some pretty fantastic alt. rock, give it another go.

I love how you put your description here in almost all of your albums. I feel like the same as me and it's great to see a personal thoughts of everything.
I can say we are similar, but I'm just a little bit older, hehehe. Also have an impression that I'll like what I'm going to listen in your chart... Hugs

Looking forward to see how this grows, assuming it is consistent with your passion on the forums I'm sure I'll find it interesting and my rating will grow.
