Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Thad
I have listened to 1000s of albums, so here are 100 fantastic ones. Order is relevant, but to be honest, not very. How am I supposed to compare 60's tropicalia, 90s trip hop, 10s industrial hip hop, and 70s progressive rock?
I've tried to simply include albums that stand above the rest within their genre, era, region, movement etc. Once you get past that, it is very hard to compare. In my view, all of these albums are 10/10s. Not much more needs to be said.
Since some of these are a bit obscure, I'm working on adding genres so that you know if a certain album may be up your alley. Enjoy!

Somehow, only 2 users have added this album to a chart -- if you take anything away from this list, you should listen to this. 2 hours of sound collage/field recordings delicately interspersed into creative, modern, piano-based classical pieces by a technically proficient player. An incredible variety of sounds and influences on this thing. [First added to this chart: 12/15/2019]

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 93.2/100, a mean average of 93.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Very good chart. Very well composed: A big variety of nations, styles, centuries… a lot of intense albums.
I´m sorry to say that there are too many albums that I don´t like to rate higher, but anyway: Well done.
Interesting chart with some outliners and well known artist but most of them I know. And maybe there could be the Beatles or the doors.
Stuff from all corners of the world, I love it! Immediately jumped into Kagayaki as you told me. There's tons to learn from this chart, what an excitement to behold!
thank you Thad! so glad i was able to get you into jenny hval, she's probably my all-time favorite artist. off of my chart i'd also recommend lydia ainsworth, still art pop but more on the pop side of things (relative to hval anyway lol). susanne sundfor is another one to check out
Metá Metá's style is best described as Vanguarda Paulista (or Candomblé Music with a healthy mix of art rock, art punk, afrobeat, samba, jazz rock, math rock, experimental rock and jazz; all but samba-jazz, which is reserved for particularly jazzy bossa nova).
Similarly to No Wave, the original early 80s Vanguarda Paulista artists were a scene of associated experimental musicians who in retrospective are referred to as a sub-genre of their own. Our current decade's revival of the genre has been championed by Metá Metá and their own associates, so the genre now sounds a lot like the group's genres of preference (notably Candomblé Music). Their singer Juçara Marçal's “Encarnado” and Elza Soares' “A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo” are two good albums to follow.
On another note, if you liked “El Jardín De Los Presentes” and are a fan of Charles Mingus you'll be into Astor Piazzolla. “Libertango” and “Tango: Zero Hour” could be interesting additions to your already varied taste.
thank you for the kind words. this is a great chart as well. a few here i've managed to miss out on. os mutantes ... i've somehow not gotten around to listening to them, so i'll start there.
Chad comment on my page, chad chart. Are you brazilian? Mutantes @ 3 is really curious for someone who doesn't live here. I have tons of references for you. Negro Leo, has released two masterpieces, he is a true genius. The easiest is called Agua Batizada, the chad one is Action Lekking. Try both! please!
Man, this is really great. Lots of styles I don't usually listen to, but these artists are pretty much all gold and it adds together for a gnarly music chart.
Wow! Great chart!
Seriously one of the best charts I've seen! Commenting again because I didn't realize I did already and it's chart of the day so I had to check it out again.
