I'm not as active on this site as I used to be but I felt compelled respond to your comment regarding my 2010's chart. I find it ironic that you you said the chart was "narrow minded" when you have six Radiohead albums in your top ten. My chart may be brief (admittedly behind in listening to a lot of contemporary music) but I would say it is far from narrow minded. In the five albums listed I have albums spanning genres of Folk, Psychedelic, Experimental, and Dream Pop. Your comment is baffling. That being said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Cheers.

There are more Radiohead albums on here than they actually have produced in studio.

Lol I just thought it was odd that you seemed to systematically go through a ton of pop and rap albums and rate them really low, a bit sad really. I'm rating it zero because it's just awful when you slap classic, superb albums with a 5/100 or 10/100. You can't be a music lover if Beatles/Floyd albums are that bad to you. I appreciate that we have different tastes but come on man, hardly any albums are really as low as 15/100 or so.
Also, no need to get aggressive, it's only a music site.

To answer, I have no problem with the fact that you have 6 albums by the same artist in your top ten, but what I wanted to say is that contrary to you, I do not consider Radiohead as my favourite band and I wouldn't rank so many of their records high in my best ever chart.
But don't get me wrong, Radiohead remains an incredibly influencial band, and I am aware that bands like Muse and Coldplay (which are two of my favourites) wouldn't exist without their 90's work. Personnaly, and as I am before all a rock fan, I think The Bends and OK Computer are both wonderful albums, surely among the best rock/alt music records of all time. But I am not a fan of the more experimental work they did after and I don't think Kid A is a masterpiece at all. The way they changed was very brave, but this is not the way I like them sounding, too bad for me. But this is only my point of view.
So you can put all a band's discography in your chart if it represents your very favourite albums. As you've seen, the 80s period of Metallica is a gold mine to me. So why couldn't I rank all of them in the top of my chart? And obviously this also stands for you and your tastes. I don't see why people on BEA should feel guilty for not lying when they create their charts.

@Ledzep I can't help the feelings, how much I love an album, not going to lie to please others. There's a reason a good 5 or 6 bands on this list have a lot of their albums or even all and that's because they are my favourite bands and honestly love their albums that much. Most of my albums in the top ten are well rated so it should be no shock they are there.
