Produced by Brian Paulson & Son Volt. Uncle Tupelo split up in 1994, and Jay Farrar formed Son Volt while his former bandmate Jeff Tweedy started Wilco. Out of the gate, Son Volt's Trace was miles above Wilco's A.M., and became one of the greatest alt country albums of all time. "Route" is the bands greatest song, and tracks like "Tear Stained Eye" and "Loose String" are stunning. The album even closes with a Ron Wood cover. How cool is Son Volt? Cooler than your band. Cooler than my band. Damn cool.

Produced by Brian Paulson & Wilco. Wilco's debut album is as close to the sound of Jeff Tweedy's previous band, Uncle Tupelo, as they ever got. More than any other Wilco record, this album is steeped in alt-country, and Tweedy gets to shine as a songwriter for really the first time. A lot of people prefer their later work, but for me, I'll take great songs like "Casino Queen", "Passenger Side" and "Pick Up The Change" over most of the more experimental side that has dominated their more recent work.

Produced by Owen Morris & Noel Gallagher. Before heroin took over, Noel Gallagher was one hell of a songwriter. And Oasis was one hell of a band. It's not their fault that people got so very stupid over them. The truth is, they made two superb albums before they succumbed to thepressure of people putting ridiculous comparisons on them. Those same people then turned on them for not living up to the hype. Bullshit. Oasis was, for a short time, brilliant. And this album is the center of that brilliance.

Produced by George Drakoulias. Again with The Jayhawks. Amazing harmonies, great songs, and even a perfectly chosen cover (Grand Funk Railroad's "Bad Time"). The last album before the departure of Mark Olson, this is really amazing stuff. "Blue" makes this album a keeper on its own, but everything else is just as amazing. A band that has always, in my opinion, deserved a lot more recognition and love than they have ever gotten. If you love great harmonies, you have to love Tomorrow The Green Grass.

Produced by John Leckie. No sophomore slump here. What made Radiohead great was the massive jump in quality from their first to second album, and then they continued it to their third. That they were able to transform from a grunge-like sound to this in one album speaks volumes about Radiohead's musical abilities, and about their vision as a band. Listing the great songs on The Bends is easy: just look at the track list. They're all great. And they were actually just getting started.

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!
