Psychedelic & Mind Bending, 1-100
by 
ObsoleteEntity 
Quick FYI: My definition of psychedelic and/or trippy may differ from yours, but that's okay. I like it to have elements of weirdness and craziness, even if it is only experimental. I LOVE when the music falls apart (The Dead and Captain Beefheart did this a lot). I include, by the way, some meditation music because that can be some of the most psychedelic and mind bending music there can be. The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. There are some stoner rock albums as well. Lastly, I am trying my best to add albums not from 1968, but that is proving to be a challenge. Challenge accepted!
Mood Classification for each album: Light/Happy, Moody, Transcendental/Deep, Heavy.

The power and influence of this album can not be overstated. The Beatles started the studio effects, but Jimi perfected it!

A true classic. Give this one a few listens. Should be a well known album.

My opinion: one of the greatest albums no one has ever heard of. If you've heard it already, then you are a connoisseur of tunage!

This album is crazy, creepy good. The mood is heavy and dark, though.

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.2/100, a mean average of 94.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.7.

Excellent chart with some great new bands introduced to me along with a few surprises like The Cure. The summary comments are useful.

Awesome, awesome chart! From the looks of it, this is the chart I must be checking everyday since lots of the albums I enjoy listening to lately appear on this chart. Thanks for sharing this.
Although I object to not adding Tago Mago, Fun House and some other albums on this list. I think they are pretty mind bending and trippy too.
