The Smiths are the band of my youth and have stayed with me right up until now. Meat Is Murder was the 1st album of theirs I owned which during the 80's seemed more popular on cassette. Ended up buying this on vinyl and CD eventually. Really Rockabilly drives this album and its greatest influence. I owe this album so much for giving a shy kid some personality and making the whole music side things much cooler. I'm not suggesting this the greatest album of all time, it's the one album that I treasure for all the friendships I made even if those people aren't still around.

A dark and for me a very stoner rock album. Hope Sandoval is very seductive with her voice. Cant help but think about how beautiful she us every time I hear singing. I’m not a drug user but this makes me feel quite stoned this great album. [First added to this chart: 05/05/2016]

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.7/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.2.

This is a great chart mate! Hats off for choosing one per artist (something I can't do). Loved that you went for the less obvious ones (eg. Floyd's Meddle, U2 Zooropa, Radiohead Moon Shaped Pool, Pearl Jam Yield). Of course, stoked to see good representation of Aussie artists - esp Midnight Oil and INXS - two of my faves. Great mix of genres, crosses over well with my tastes - plenty more in here that are close to my top 100.

I don't think I've ever seen The The and Mazzy Star in a top 10 before. Which is great. They deserve to be in the top 10.
