Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
JulianR 
Hey!
I am quite excited to discuss literally anything about music ("literal" used in the literal, not figurative sense). I don't really know anyone that listens to the breadth and depth of music that I do. So if you disagree with something I say, or just want to talk about music, totally message me. Also if you want recommendations, or have some for me, totally message me or comment. Thank you!
Just as a heads up, the descriptions for these albums could have been written yesterday, or 18 months ago. They may not be totally reflective of my opinions on them now, though they were at one point at least.
Chart of the Day: 2/21/18, 4/23/19
Questions, comments, concerns, and especially recommendations are all heavily encouraged
Thanks

Indie Folk
95/100
Cover Art: 8/10 for the reissue one
Some albums are magical. Laughing Stock (#1) and Lazer Guided Melodies (#4 at the moment) are some of the most magical albums I have ever heard. Loveless, Kid A, Blonde, Chill Out, and many others have been wonderfully magical at various times in my life. But this album seems to have a different, more special kind of magic to it. It's own form of magic is small, not grandiose like the rest. It is the magic of being alone in the woods. It is the magic of feelings left bottled up. It is the magic of a man with a guitar making music for its own sake. The only album that is able to capture a similar magic is Iron & Wine's "The Creek Drank The Cradle." And even then, that is the magic of old times, the rustic American Midwest. Appalachia. For Emma, Forever Ago, to me, is the magic of the American Northwest. The Rockies. Evergreen trees, deep, damp forests, snowfall. Love. A lot more love is here. Maybe more for me than for others, given my life experiences with this album. It is the album that soundtracks my current love, more beautiful than even this album. [First added to this chart: 10/19/2018]

If You Like This: Massive Attack - Mezzanine; David Bowie - Low;
This album was my number one for so long that it's image in my mind has overcome my actual feelings of it; it has been mythologized, in a way. I'm going to let it sit here for a while and then come back to it. [First added to this chart: 12/17/2016]

"Nothing lasts forever, that's the way it's gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea"
This album, track for track, is a masterpiece. It is a glorious masterpeice at that; sweeping, majestic, beautiful. It creates such a grand feeling. The atmosphere created by the lush arrangements and the fact it was recorded in an abandoned church, with the church organ kicking in from time to time, is the main reason for this awesome sound.
It also has such great flow, both within songs and throughout the album. They are able to transition from loud to quiet and back again so smoothly you almost don't notice. The only thing that kinda disrupts this flow is the first half of Black Wave/Bad Vibrations, but then the second part really brings it back powerfully. And then of course, ending with No Cars Go into possibly the greatest closer to an album ever, My Body is a Cage, is such an amazing experience, and gives the album one of the more powerful senses of completeness of any album here.
Best Moment:
My body is a cage, (2:08): "My body is a-" and then the whole church organ kicks in in its glorious gargantuan grandiosity (this album makes me want to alliterate I guess) [First added to this chart: 05/14/2017]

IYLT: Bark Psychosis - Hex
"There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt"
Radiohead has always been a band of great ambition with limited playing abilities. At least, that's what Johnny Greenwood said, in relation to their decision to hire the Humphrey Little Band for the recording of Life in a Glasshouse. It's not, personally, how I would characterize Radiohead at all, but that's up to interpretation. Anyway,
At the moment of this writing, this is ranked as my 2nd greatest Radiohead album overall, and it has been first before, and probably will again. This album is, for me, far more interesting than many other albums here. Amnesiac is, of course, an extension of Kid A, but also entirely different. While Kid A is grand, sweeping, and monolithic, this is a fractured album. The theme of fragmented memory and cyclic life throughout the lyrics perfectly suit the the music. It is warped, chopped up, and pieced back together. I would say the album is akin to the experience of being kinda lost in a city, but you're pretty sure you know your way around, and then slowly realizing you're not even in the city you thought you were in. I hope that means something. I'm not big on flashy metaphors that sound cool but add nothing to anything. Hopefully that effectively conveys that feeling that I get when listening to Amnesiac; turning down a street you thought you knew and seeing something you've never seen before. The album is not cohesive, and that's the point. Usually that would be a negative, put not as much so in this case. I even like the fractured parts better. The most traditional songs on here are the ones I like least. Knives Out, Dollars and Cents, and the Morning Bell rework are all interesting, but they seem bland, and Knives Out seems even kinda commercial, compared to the rest of the album. I would consider Radiohead to be a brave band, for the most part, but I would have loved to have even more experimental and weird stuff, like "Kinetic" (One of my fav B-sides, that's included in my alternate tracklisting). I feel like that would fit and add to the mood more.
Sometimes I feel like this is an album that I like the idea of more than the actual music. But also, while I'm listening to it, I feel like ranking it higher. So I don't know what my set opinion is on it, if such a concrete thing exists. I feel like mostly what Amnesiac is is a missed opportunity; a chance to build on the wildly new and refreshingly creative sound of Kid A. And yet, while some of it was in fact delving deeper into the territory Kid A carved out, some of it was also regression. The material is all there; the B-sides are excellent.
Edit: Now, a day after writing this, I am unsure again. This really is one of the more complex and fascinating albums here. It's so hard to wrap my mind around. I think I love it.
BM:
Fog: This is actually a B-Side from the Knives Out Single, but it's one of my favorite songs from the Amnesiac suite. The the way the song builds up to the final chorus is pretty cool [First added to this chart: 03/23/2017]

CA: 5/10
IYLT: Common - Be
This album is just a blast to listen to. Even though I tend to like moody/sad music more (just look at my chart!), I can't help but have fun with Late Registration. Literally every song aside from skits 1-4 is just so urgent and invigorating. It does get a little moodier with Drive Slow, Roses and Addiction in the middle, but that's not to say they aren't excellent songs as well. But it's really the from and back where this album shines. Heard Em Say to Touch The Sky to Gold Digger is of couse one of the best album openings there is. And then Diamonds, Gone, and the highlight Hey Mama in the back, along with a couple other fun tracks really make this album what it is. Which would be absolutely fun.
This is one of the few long form rap albums that I really love. It seems like for a long time, and maybe still, hour-long plus albums were the norm in hip-hop, greatly to the detriment of the music in my opinion. Music has to have a lot of variety in sound in order to be effective for that long, and for hip-hop, especially the stripped down beat-heavy style that dominated early hip hop, it tended to get tiresome. Kanye, in the process of saving hip-hop of course, went along and saved the long form hip-hop album format as well. College Dropout, while not a personal favorite of mine (it just has too many really weak or even problematic songs to enjoy the whole album), was able to provide enough variety because of it's sample-based sound. Late Registration is essentially just an extension of that, but soooo much better. This will be the standard to which I compare all of Kanye's future works, as well as most any hip hop album that attempts to be a long-form artistic and conceptual statement.

"They know
My warm blood flows still"
This record represents a very important part of my musical journey (probably the same spot that Velvet Underground & Nico occupies for many others). It made me realize fully that music could be extremely messy, sounding almost intentionally so, and yet be equally amazing. This album, like TVU+N and others, just sometimes sounds bad. Sounds combine in ways that just don't go together, that don't seem remotely musical. Lou's weezy, monotone vocals or Phil's boyish croon. And yet, we as humans are able to appreciate these sounds, for whatever reason. For the longest time, it was maybe the only album that I failed to articulate why I loved it so much, but I think I may have finally put my finger on it: This is an album makes an art out of imperfection. I'm not sure how else to describe it than by saying that while much of art is the attempt to achieve perfection, this is the attempt and subsequent success of achieving imperfection. There is no part of this album that feels like it is secure. When listening to it, one most come to terms with the fact that it can, and sometimes does, fall apart when you least expect it. Rhythms flow in and out of existence, barely stable enough to carry the music along, even in their most stable forms. The melodies are fragile, timid, but beautiful. His voice may be boyish, you may hear his voice crack, but you can tell that he believes every word he is singing and that these words come from a place deep inside him. Yet, once you get past the initial appearances of this album, the overt and overwhelming organic compositions and they way it feels like the music just flows forth from him, you realize how meticulously constructed it is. Every bit of imperfection is placed carefully (dare I say perfectly?) next to its neighbors, to create a glorious patchwork. Phil truly is a masterful composer, but has equally masterful skills in hiding that fact under layers of imperfection and frailty.
Best Moment:
Title track, (2:30): "My bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood flows harshly"

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 92.0/100, a mean average of 92.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.3.

Thanks for the hard work. I came to your chart after reading your comments about Rubber Soul and Bringing It All Back Home being ‘transitional’ albums and thought to myself ‘there’s someone with a similar pair of ears’!
Anyhow, your comments inspired me to listen to the ‘transitional’ Bon Iver album, and I’ll give Lorde another go. I mean listening is what it’s all about, right?
In answer to your question on Mezzanine, Pet Sounds is better produced, so now you know.

Wow, I truly love FEFEA and Age of Adz, but I don't have the depth on older stuff. I am going to give those specific albums a chance. I have listened to Bowie and Pink Floyd, but not those albums, so maybe I will hear something different this time.

Great list with wonderful notes and recommendations. Your description of Loveless and Shoegaze is as touching as it is true. You're right about Touched, haha

Although the list is really an odd mix of soul/hip of and progressive rock/post-rock (if I am not mistaken, I did see a similar combination somewhere else on this site on an earlier browse last autumn), there is not that much of real note in the chart.
However, the lack of really unusual albums and a grouping of genres that is merely on the “eccentric” side is certainly compensated for by some impressive notes, which substantially add to the rating.
Some albums you might not have heard that I could attempt to recommend based on your taste:
— ‘Yeti’ by Amon Düül II
— ‘H to He Who Am the Only One’ and ‘Pawn Hearts’ by Van der Graaf Generator
— ‘A Return to the Inner Experience’, ‘This Timeless Turning’ and ‘Moonbathing on Sleeping Leaves’ by Sky Cries Mary
— ‘Gala’ and ‘Spooky’ by Lush

the final cut getting some deserved appreciation is nice to see! i will always have respect for users who take the time to write significant blurbs for many of the records in their charts

Not a huge fan of all these albums, but I really like the chart with its descriptions and stuff.
