Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
ShadowColossi 
Ok so I rate albums as follows:
I basically just write down all the songs, rank them from 1-5*, and then add up all the *s, / the max number of stars. For example:
Pink Floyd Animals
Pigs on the Wing pt. 1 - *****
Dogs- *****
Pigs- *****
Sheep- *****
Pigs on the Wing pt. 2- *****
25/25=10.0
This chart is a constant work in process- it's very possible it may change multiple times a day. I'm always listening to new music and my opinions on certain albums are also due to change over time- So I apologize if you liked my chart a way it was before, but they're all there anyways. I just like to keep it up to date for my tastes at the moment.
I judge music by complexity and creativity in songwriting, as well as uniqueness. So when something strikes me as well written, complex music with a unique sound, it's bound to one of my favorites. I also believe emotion is a huge thing for music, some songs portray it so well it can make you feel the same way. Anyways, enjoy my chart! Recommendations are ALWAYS welcome :)
Also, I make music and would love if you checked it out!

Psychedelic Rock
One of the first records I can truly say I got lost in. After "Pigs on the Wing", I don't know what I expected. But it definitely wasn't the epic 40 minutes that follows. David Gilmour's guitar playing is at its peak on this one, each solo holding its own as one of my favorites. The only time I've heard guitar parts that rival the ones on this record are on Pink Moon and Wish You Were Here. Roger Water's lyrics are amazing as usual, but on this record, they just got it all right. From start to finish it uses constantly shifting tempos and styles, from fast acoustic strumming in D tuning, to sudden solos that come in out of nowhere in standard. Songs that use 15+ different chords, 3 solos, and who knows how many verses, without making it sound strained in any way. It flows perfectly, from one Pig on the Wing to the other. It's just oh, so perfect to me- and it's the only record that has been perfect in my eyes from the moment I heard it, and stayed that way since.
10 / 10
Favorite Song: "Dogs"
"And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone" [First added to this chart: 01/16/2016]

To me, this album is the audible version of one moment- the moment before. That feeling you get when you know something amazing is going to happen. It's like being at the very top of a huge drop on a roller coaster. Talk Talk repeatedly bring you to the edge for a minute at most- blasting distortion, a trembling voice, and crashing drums- and a piano. Then, just as quickly as it's there- it's gone. The quiet, surreal sounds are back. And again you wait.

I don't know why it didn't click with me right away. But this is, in my opinion, Radiohead's most beautifully layered, and textured album. It all feels like a dream that you try to grab a hold of but just can't. The clean guitars and the ominous synth tones transport you to another universe. "Weird FIshes/ Arpeggi" slowly builds on a beutiful chord progression, each note feeling line a raindrop lightly tapping on your face and dripping down, until, after a short quiet moment, pours down even harder with the emotional, almost ominous, outro. "All I Need" is soft and quiet, until the piano takes you into it's dark world. "Nude" just has to be the smoothest piece of music to ever be released, and "Reckoner" swells and dives in ways that demand your full attention. All in all- it's just an incredible world to be in.
9.6 / 10
Favorite Track: "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi"
"I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your parked car
I am all the days

Shoegaze / Dream Pop
Slowdive are one of those bands that were irresistable to me from the first listen. I first heard them on youtube going through some shoegaze, and it was "Souvlaki Space Station" with images of planets and space. It fit the song so well, and all of that delay sparked my initial interest and eveentual obsession with guitar effects. "Alison" is the best ambient love song I've ever heard, "40 Days" and "Dagger" are tragic, and "When the Sun Hits" is just shoegaze served on a delicious platter of reverb and distortion. Great record, love almost every track.
9.6 / 10
Favorite Track: "When the Sun Hits"
"The sunshine girl is sleeping
She falls and dreams alone
And me I am her dagger
Too numb to feel her pain" [First added to this chart: 01/16/2016]

Acoustic
As a guitar player, picking a "favorite" guitar player is very difficult. Especially for someone like me who can get into just about any piece of music with a guitar in it in general. But Nick Drake is most definately my favorite. The skill and precision that he displays on this album should tell you why. I've learned many of these songs, but there are some that I just cannot get. The rhythms are rediculously quick, and sometimes quite awkward, but they sound way too good for me not to try. So I try and try and try.... And truthfully, sometimes get nowhere. But hell I'm gonna keep trying. Anyways- This album is great from start to finish. It's soft and calming, and it's an album that is good when you want to falls asleep, when you're feeling down, or when you're in the happiest of moods. It's just good.
9.5 / 10

I don't quite understand why this one had to grow on me, but it did. It just didn't click as quickly as even Kid A did. But now I can understand why it's the top album on this site. "Paranoid Android", "Climbing Up the Walls", "Lucky", and "Let Down" are highlights, but the whole thing is gold (excluding fitter happier, sorry guys).
9.5 / 10
Favorite Track: "Lucky"
"Please could you stop the noise I'm tryin' to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's this?
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all" [First added to this chart: 01/16/2016]

I don't think any other record on this list has a better opening track than "Get Away". "In the Flowers" is pretty close, but not this good. It's just one bit upbeat, raging song where each note hits your ears oh so sweetly. Daniel's voice is the perfect fit here, with an emotional edge that some would describe as a bit whiny, but I don't consider it like that. It's a song about being truly numb. Breaking down everything you thought you knew with nothing to hold on to, not even the pain. You get away, but is it worth it? At least that's what the song says to me. It also helps that any hook in that song could be stuck in your head for days. Some more highlights in this album are the sweet, sweet riffage in "Operation", the guitar bends on "The Wall" that seem to literally bend your brain as you're listening to it, stirring up a random emotion that you didn't even know you had. Truly not a bad track, although there are a few that aren't necessarily great. "Rubber" is the emotional slow-burner that they put at the end, and it fits just fine. I'm not gonna lie, had a few emotional breakdowns during that song, because it just has a way of stirring up whatever it is that you were trying to push down. "Should I give in? Yes I give in" Daniel sings, and that's exactly what happens. But enough of my blabbering and back to the original point - This album starts and ends brilliantly.

Experimental / Electronic
At first listen, I thought it was ok. I'll be honest. I loved "Everything In It's Right Place", "How to Disappear Completely", the bass-line from "The National Anthem", "Idioteque", and "Optimistic". Everything else... I could do without. I especially didn't like the title track. But I kept reading about how great this album was. So I gave it a few more listens, and I was hooked. Soon the odd vocals in "Kid A" that at first bothered me now fit so well with the album's mood it almost seemed essential. The jazz fusion at the end of "The National Anthem" became a crashing emotional breakdown instead of a messy orchestra. And "In Limbo" became the delay ridden, every-shifting song it is. And now I can't go a week without revisiting Kid A.
9.3 / 10
Favorite Track: "Idioteque"
"Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children" [First added to this chart: 01/16/2016]

Post-Rock / Ambient Rock
It starts off quiet, slowly easing you into the dark tone of the album with "Myrrham", some soft chords and Mark Hollis's voice quietly singing over them. Absolutely necessary to ease you into the mood of this record. "Ascension Day" is what kicks it all off- a perfect name as you ascend into the album- a balance between serence soundscapes and ear-shattering chords that sound messily played but somehow still sound just so perfectly played, like someone was in a haze and started to mindlessly strum their guitar and accidentally created something beautiful. "After the Flood" is a perfect title, a comedown from the raging flood of emotions from Ascension Day. It's quieter, and less noisy than it's predecesor, but just as emotional. Would fit just as well in "Spirit of Eden". "Taphead" is the most jazzy of all the tracks, and "New Grass" is the most beautiful. God what a track- I can't even say anything that would do it justice. "Runeii" is like the reverse of the open track- slowly gets quieter and lets descend from the high of this album, slowly trickling out. This album is a journey if there ever was one.

That guitar in "Shin On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V" is possible the most beautiful guitar work I've ever heard- and yet so simple. A soft, electronic chord in the back ground and some slow bends, working around the same 6 or so notes most of the time- and yet it immediately strikes you as a work of genius. That's just the power of this band for you- they effortlessly pump out minute after minute of accessible, great music, despite the long track lengths. The middle three tracks are as radio-friendly as they get (besides the one low point on the album for me "Welcome to the Machine"), fantastic tracks. "Wish You Were Here" is another example of simple perfection. "Have a Cigar" may be the busiest song on the record, but oh is it good. And the guitar solo at the end is excellent. It's in the top 50 on this site for a reason. The two end pieces are incredible pieces of music that change tempos often, and have guitar parts that never cease to give you goosebumps.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.7/100, a mean average of 92.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.4.

@dexme: I don’t understand your comment at all: he only rated a couple of hundreds of albums, he’s chosen some fairly non standard albums albums for this top chart and he wouldn’t go into the trouble to write these long personal comments on his top albums if he was only after the points: for me this chart and the comment that go with it is a winner.

Your chart sucks. It only has popular albums. Stop ratings albums just because you want points. How dare you.

Phenomenal chart my friend. Looks similar to mind, in terms of description. :)))

Great chart, I can see mine looking a bit like this in a year's time. By the way, the track on Blonde on Blonde is "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again", not "the Texas Blues".
