Best Albums That BEA Forgot: Established Artists Edition
by jhuik

This is a list of best album (generally the highest ranked, sometimes my personal favourite) by more established artists who actually do not crack the top 1000 in BEA's overall chart (skewed toward surprisingly but also some disappointingly). One album per artist. I checked through #2000 for suggestions.

Well, they're not highly revered really but this has its charms. I'm surprised that even the SNF soundtrack is nearly out of the top 1000. [First added to this chart: 09/13/2015]

Well, country is easy-pickings for this list, also. Maybe with good reason. Still, one of the 20 best selling albums of all time, believe it or not. 20x200 is about where he ends up on this site. [First added to this chart: 09/13/2015]
