Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by SonicPhan630 Unknown

This isn't what I think are the greatest albums ever made. This is just what I would rank my personal top favorite albums ever. Also, The Beatles are my favorite band ever so I'm a little biased. Please forgive that, but again this is my personal favorites.

Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 84.7/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Really digging the work that you have put into the chart in terms of notes. A little too many “obvious choices” but if these are your favourite albums then fair play. Would like to see 51 - 100 at some point.

900% agree with AAL2014. The whole point of this site is to put your favorite albums and just because someone reads way too much pitchfork or Scaruffi doesn't mean you have to do anything with your chart than do what you think is great. I've spent the greater part of the last decade searching for music I'm unfamiliar with and I still rate Beatles and U2 as my #1/#2 spots, even if I've fallen in love with new music, too. Haters gonna hate. May they find love instead.

Not gonna lie, this is the most predictable chart of the day in a while. I suggest looking into some newer music that isn't arctic monkeys

Nice start! I really like the notes you've done for your top picks. That said, having looked through your ratings I feel you've still got a lot of musical ground to cover (if that sort of thing interests you) given the propensity for albums from the 70s and nothing outside the US/UK here (apart from Nico slipping in!). Here's a few records that I think might be your cup of tea:

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King (essential prog album for a pink floyd fan)
Galaxie 500 - On Fire (gorgeous dream pop album that closes with a George Harrison cover)
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun & Fishmans - Long Season (my two favourite non-English language albums of all time)
Arcade Fire - Funeral (indie rock modern-classic that is impossible not to love, I think you will too)

Hope you enjoy them!!

I am not the biggest Beatles fan but it is difficult to argue that they weren’t a great band. London Calling, Nevermind and Remain in Light particularly good calls.

good stuff! I'd rec other pink floyd album such as Animals and Meddle. Also, I think The Final Cut is their best work, but not many others share their opinion. Also, you def gotta check out OK Computer an the Bends (both by Radiohead)

Having your favorites in order is not anything you need to apologize for. The bottom line is I can tell that you are very passionate about the Beatles and the other artists on this chart and that's all that matters. Keep it up, some great albums on here.
