I don\'t usually give charts a low rating but it troubles me that there\'s so little diversity of both genre and artist. Not a single woman with writing credits appears in the entire chart and the only PoC are Jimi Hendrix and Arthur Lee, both memebers of white dominated groups. Not to mention the entire 70s is condensed down to 9 albums, a third of which are by Pink Floyd. If you want to stick to what you like I respect your decision, but seeing as you asked for recommendations, the YouTube channel \'deep cuts\' has some great introductory videos for genres that maybe you\'re missing out on, I\'ll link a few here:\r\n\r\n(ambient) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5of5OIb1s4&index=14&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=0s\r\n(experimental hip hop) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPkPPM87O6c&index=15&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=409s\r\n(trip hop) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyXbUzm-Tv0&index=13&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=0s\r\n(IDM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50WilJ_Bamw&index=5&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=1s\r\n(jazz fusion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpK6v-IzN6c&index=4&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=9s\r\n(funk) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZM0MSwaU5o&index=1&list=PLKRRjKLRXNJly8aNzi2stcFT_CnTSAW0v&t=122s\r\n

I can't say I'm a big fan of some of these choices, but don't worry too much about douchey comments. You showed us what you like and we can't blame you for that; I'm a bigger fan of a chart like this than something that just copies the top 100. This was pretty much my music taste in 8th/9th grade anyway so can't say I haven't been there. And hey, there's a ton of music for you to check out now which is amazing - I wish I could go back and un-listen to my favorites just to hear them for the first time

It's pretty interesting that you love Muse so much all their albums are in your top 30 of all time, but at least you're brave enough to put that down without fear of what other people are gonna say. Another interesting thing about you is that it seems that if you love a band, you love every one of their albums, and that's impressive. With me, there's always those one or two albums that just don't do it for me. We do have a lot in common, since I also love Muse, The Strokes, and The Black Keys, among other bands. In reply to your comment on my chart about The Resistance, I do like the album, but it's just not as good as their other stuff and some of the songs on it just don't have the same effect on me as a lot of Muse's other songs. It would probably go in my top 150, but not much higher because there's a lot of albums I like much better than it. Nice job. Make it to 100 and I might give you a 95.

One of the worst top 10's I've ever seen.

21 in common, well done for putting your favourites in and not going for 'clever' picks! It's uneven and contains too many Muse albums for me, but this is what a chart should be, (not crassly manipulated like that recent Rolling Stone top 500). (Edited)
