Produced by Peter Buck. Recorded in just five days, this acoustic album from one of alt-country's best bands is a true gem. Split between originals and traditional covers, the love of country music that Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy had shines like a beacon. With R.E.M.'s Peter Buck at the controls, songs like "Coalminers", "Moonshiner", and "Grindstone" are gritty and dripping with what the best of Americana has always been: music for and about real, ordinary people. An unknown gem of an album. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by The Robb Brothers. A truly fine piece of what Evan Dando does best. Pure pop-rock songs that stick with you in the best of ways. "Alison's Starting To Happen", "My Drug Buddy", "Bit Part"...not a bad song here, and Dando just sounds like he's having the time of his life. With help from Juliana Hatfield and aided by the later inclusion of "Mrs. Robinson", this is one of the shining moments of the 90's. This album has endured through the years, and should be considered a classic. [First added to this chart: 04/20/2013]

Produced by Davitt Sigerson, Tori Amos, Eric Rosse & Ian Stanley. The song that got me here was "Crucify", but the rest is just as good. More than any of the other angry women of rock who came afterwards, Tori got it right. She didn't have to say she'd mess you up...you could really hear it in her voice. Little Earthquakes is a great collection of songs, one she's had a tough time beating. An amazing solo debut, and miles from her Y Kant Tori Read fiasco. She is hotter than ever before or since right here. [First added to this chart: 12/05/2011]

Produced by George Drakoulias. Another great and ignored album by the most melodic of the Minnesota bands. Hollywood Town Hall is the real coming out of The Jayhawks, with Mark Olson and Gary Louris proving to be a formidable songwriting team. "Sister Cry", "Crowded In The Wings", "Wichita"...this album is loaded. The harmonies are impeccable, the songs are perfect, and the playing is as good as it gets. If you haven't discovered The Jayhawks, you are truly missing out on a great band. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by Russ Titelman. Strange that the album that seems to rate the highest in Eric Clapton's discography these days is a live acoustic album. And, despite containing two of his more irritating releases ("Tears In Heaven" and a bad idea reworking of "Layla"), this also has some of Clapton's more inspired playing. Most notably, on the cloer "Rollin' And Tumblin'", he sounds more rejuvenated than since the early 70's. Good to have proof that he really could still bring it after all those years.

Produced by Bruce Fairbairn. Everything there is to love about Brian Johnson era AC/DC on one loud, menacing disc. You can almost see Brian squealing with his taking a crap face, while Angus runs around looking way too old for that schoolboy outfit. But, what the hell. Rock & roll is supposed to be weird, fun, fast, loud, lewd, menacing, and more than anything else, it's supposed to make you MOVE. If AC/DC Live doesn't make you move, please consult your physician.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 86.9/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.1.

This is an excellent list. Lots of "alt-country" here, which is much more Replacements-Meets-Bruce Springsteen than traditional folk or country.

I can't really give a good rating because I haven't listened to 96 of these albums, but I just want to say that I am convinced that Romanelli and AM are the same person

I really appreciate some of the more personal picks. This is a really good chart. 14 albums in common is pretty good. Perhaps one day I'll check out Uncle Tupelo.

Really love the detailed notes and careful selections!! I still feel it's a little too focused on American alt-rock for my liking however, would be nice to see some electronic releases/more hip hop besides Public Enemy at no.73!
