Maybe not the perfect list, but for me this is the music that was and still is important part of mu life. Some of these albums I don't listen very much today, but they played important role in my teenage period. I hope you'll like it.

When I first heard it, before 6 or 7 years ago, I did not understand how can someone be attracted to this kind of sound. About a year after, I remember my friend asked who my favorite album is, and I said this one. Since then I’m trying to figure out what the hell happened in that one year and I still don’t have a clue.

The most complete rock album I ever listened to. I can’t imagine a better name for this album than "The Beatles", it covers their entire creation, from classic rock songs like Back in the USSR, to musical experimentation in Revolution 9. It represents music of the 60's better than any other. If you have time to listen to only one of their albums, this is it.

It has incredible beauty. Somehow you realize that the essence of beautiful music is not only in harmony of sound and tender lyrics, but it can also be with unusual way of playing and singing. So uncommon for the time it appear. No wonder people didn’t like it.

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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

Strong Chart.
I guess I should check out your "yugoslavian" picks - Idoli is good.
