"Averse to criticism after a bad moment, the Ira! Members locked themselves in the studios, and decided to create a record where they did not have to show anything to anyone, just for them even though it was still possible to do something they liked. Anger of the members towards the press made them decide to self-produce.This was one of the best records in Brazilian rock history.Psicoacústica took shape and became what many today call visionary, daring, creative and even cursed and suicidal. psychedelia with hip hop, rap, reggae, mod, heavy metal and other less relevant genres make the album difficult to assimilate in the first auditions.But after careful listening, it is impossible not to savor every second of a seminal album that turned to be years later the most acclaimed and worshipful record of the band."

For me, as a matter of age, Oasis came before Stone Roses. I remember that back in the 90s I saw Ian Brown for the first time and said: wow, this guy is just like Liam. Then calmly I went to see that it was exactly the opposite. I love this Stone Roses album and I also love the whole style and presence of Ian Brown [First added to this chart: 03/20/2015]

Indio solari is a legend for Argentina and all of south America. It's a religion. Draws crowds like a personality cult. This is cerebral art rock. It is dense, mystical, deep, conceptual and complex. The lyrics are pure genius. [First added to this chart: 10/24/2023]

Rating metrics: Help 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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.3.

Great stuff, gotta listen to some of the Brazilian choices.! I know like 5 Brazilian albums here and in general it feels like I've barely scratched the surface of country's rich musical history.

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
