My Old (2013) Top Albums by sethmadsen by 
RoundTheBend 
This is how my chart stood in 2013. It was very from the gut and no concerted effort was made to rank according to what I really thought about each album. I am now in the process of creating a chart that is score based. The score will then determine the order and I wanted to hold on to this one to see which one I like better at the end of the project. If I end up hating my end results I can always refine this one (I mostly agree with this chart and just needs maybe 50 tweaks to it or so).
What my old prompt said:
Hot damn... after 20 gets tough for me. My own subjective opinion is getting in the way! I think I have decided to rate albums based on how much I like it. How much do I think the content makes a whole album, instead of a few good songs, and some filler. I got rid of the whole one album per artist thing. I realize this chart is heavy in one direction... but I didn't create it to compete, I created it because these are honestly the albums I like, and my favorite bands obviously are going to override other possibly critically or popularly acclaimed (especially on this site) albums... I don't care, these are the ones I like.

To hear U2 transform from War, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb has been a trip. This album, however, I think is their best. The guitar solo in Bullet the Blue Sky, the way 90% of the lyrics in Exit finish before the song really starts, the emptiness of Running to Stand Still. All of this has grabbed a hold of my soul and has not let go since 1987. U2 as a band... I think they are turning into the next Rolling Stones in the sense that they don't know when to stop :).

U2's "groundbreaking" transformation of sound from the 80s. Bono stated it was the sound of 4 men chopping down the Joshua Tree.

A solid debut. Mature music for a young group. Don't like the fact it is associated with pedophiles though.

The drumming on this album is quite unique and grasps me into their rhythm.

A very underrated, misunderstood album. Pure genius in my opinion. Album release party was in a K-Mart. Evolution shows a baby turning into a shopper. Perfect timing of the backstreet boy craze, but I think got misinterpreted to U2 wanting to be like them, instead of mocking them.

I used to love this album a lot more, but had to dock it because of the 80s feel/datedness in the couple tracks before 40. Still an epic album, but my measurements are very subjective.

I prefer this in some ways to your main Top 100. I love U2, Beatles, REM and Radiohead. Going To California is my favourite Led Zep song too. And I am also put off Rubber Soul because of Run For Your Life. It spoils the whole album for me. I don't like Lennon's misogyny. Overall a great chart all round.

I actually like this one more I think. Abbey Road and Kid A mostly did it

I think this list best represents the albums I naturally came to love and listened to the most, especially in my musically formative years.

I think this list is my creative side and my current list is my logical side - if they had a baby, it'd probably be a decent list.
