Overall chart rating: #2. Produced by Jim Scott. Strangers Almanac is the crowning achievement of Whiskeytoen. Ryan Adams gets pushed aside as a country artist by a lot of people, but he is a really brilliant songwriter, and his music is, in many cases, moe alt than country. Whiskeytown didn't last long, but it yielded this masterpiece. "Inn Town" and "Dancing With The Women At The Bar" are beautiful, but "Losering" is one of the greatest songs ever. Yes, I have a lot of Ryan Adams high on my chart. For good reason.

Produced by Stephan Jenkins and Eric Valentine. Third Eye Blind doesn't get a whole lot of love, but tell me...what would the 90's have been without this gem of a record? "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "How's It Gonna Be" surrounded by a cast of great rock songs. People often wonder why they like this, then they hear it again and remember all of the good tunes and great sounds. That's why. Because it's simply a well made, well written collection of great songs.

Produced by The Verve, Chris Potter and Youth. The legal proceedings that netted the crooks who used to manage The Rolling Stones all of the royalties from "Bittersweet Symphony" should not take away from the fact that The Verve actually made a really great album. Urban Hymns is anchored by "Symphony", but there's so much more to it. The story of the song will always make the band a footnote in rock history, but Urban Hymns is some infectious stuff. A terrific and under appreciated album.

Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich. OK Computer is a great album, but to say it's the greatest of all time...that's just not in me. It really is amazing, and every listen is satisfying. It's loaded with great songs and great instrumental moments, and it really is Radiohead discovering what they are really capable of. But there are so many incredible albums worthy of that number one spot...I just don't see OK Computer as THAT excellent. But I still could not imagine my collection without 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 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!
