Luckily the Lennon/McCartney ego stifled Harrison's work in the Beatles. This resulted in one of the greatest triple albums in history

Another album I always listen to. Yes took progressive rock to its limit and produced simply the best album of its kind. The band, led by geniuses Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, at the apex of their creativity, which had begun in 1971 and would last for four more years. The fact that he is megalomaniac and pretentious, which causes many to hate him, is the one that most strikes me. It may even be that it put an end to the genre, but if so, it was brilliant and perfect.

Herbie playing fantastically and super inspired. With the group that would burst with Miles Davis years later. Tony Williams and Ron Carter playing quite freely, with excellent solos. The big highlight is the long "the egg", a true experimental avalanche, strange but engaging, certainly one of Herbie's best compositions. This is an album in the style of the advanced Hard bop, with an Avant-Garde vein. Perhaps the most well-known and emblematic song on the album is the excellent "Cantaloupe Island", with herbie showing to be also a songwriter of great hits. Excellent album that in 1963 already has a funk / fusion side.

Difficult to speak about Frank Zappa genius in few lines. Together With Miles Davis became my favorite artist. After I met him I was crazy and addicted to his discography, so much so that one of my hobbies is to collect vinyl records of Frank Zappa. In addition to the creativity and skill in the guitar, I highlight his unique irreverence in the history of musicians, really a unique artist. To represent Zappa well in the list I chose one of the records that I like the most

The most successful Brazilian music artist in the one that I consider his best work perhaps together with the album called Urubu. In partnership with Claus Ogermann, who delivers some of his best work on this album. It's one of their best efforts. Also the influence of the Brazilian genius os classical music Heitor Villa-Lobos is felt everywhere. In the 70s, we have a slightly different Tom Jobim. Moving towards a more mature sound, I have drifted away a little bit from his Bossa-Nova roots, exploring other sounds like electric-jazz or MPB. An obligatory album for those who like Brazilian music.

In my opinion it´s The Beatles creative edge. and it´s not the Sgt. Peppers' programmed pscodelia. It was still a cohesive band willing to do their best in a natural and extremely creative way.

Can you see the real me, Doctor?
For me it's the definitive masterpiece of The Who. I think the story is incredible and I've identified myself from the first time I've heard and watched the movie. it's not just an album to listen to but rather an immersion in Jimmy's story that brings up issues we face in our daily lives when we face the emptiness of our lives or even when we push the limits of our actions. Also, I consider the album to be musically perfect! One classic! [First added to this chart: 03/20/2015]

Fela Kuti was lightyears ahead of his time. He is the biggest representative of black music, jazz fusion, afrobeat, funk, soul and even psychedelic, all encased within traditional West African rhythms and chants, music that’s set free by intoxicating drumming. This is visionary music!

Before completely changing his sound before his untimely death, Coltrane offers this one that is considered his masterpiece. It is a work of spiritual liberation of the artist that should be appreciated at the right time. For many the definitive Jazz album.

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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.3.

I'd agree with moondance but I'm assuming that that's because your chart is, as you say, still under construction. Even as it is, really interesting and diverse chart. looking forward to coming back once it's finish (although, let's face it, no chart is ever completely finished!!!!!!)

The first 40 albums, along with the comments are fantastic. So unique, so interesting ~ 95/100 territory. But from about 44 onwards, the charts seems to loose coherence, the album choices seem odd (compared to what came before) and feels like it has been chucked together. Sorry if that's not the case, but that is how it feels to me.

Excelente chart! Assim como vc, tentei fazer uma lista apenas com uma entrada por artista. É claro que a dificuldade aumenta, pois diminui o numero de possibilidades na lista. Sempre imagino que uma das razões em fazer uma lista é indicar novos discos e artistas as pessoas, por isso limito a entrada de cada artista a um disco
Outros pontos semelhantes são a grande concentração de discos nas décadas de 60 e 70, além de 26 artistas em comum. O que não é de espantar, visto que não repetimos artistas, mas, temos apenas 4 álbuns em comum.
Pessoalmente, tenho minhas preferecias: gosto mais de In a Silent Way, do que o Files...; Vivendo e Não Aprendendo, ou Os Meninos da Rua Paulo do que Psicoacústica, Sticky Fingers, ou invés de Exlie... Enfim, apenas questão de gosto. E além de tudo, ainda há comentários em cada disco! Um dos melhores charts que já vi
Dê uma olhada no meu chart, principalmente aquele das décadas. Nesses, só inseri artistas brazucas
