Produced by George Martin. The growth of The Beatles as songwriters and recording artists between Help! and Rubber Soul was staggering. Rubber Soul is packed with great songs, many of them acoustic. This is the album that inspired Pet Sounds, and one of the albums that moved me far enough to first pick up a guitar and start writing my own songs. That Rubber Soul MIGHT be the greatest Beatles album speaks volumes about how great they really were. This album is beautiful, and it's scary good. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by Tom Wilson. Dylan went electric here for the first time, and the results are nothing short of amazing. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Maggies Farm" and the rest of side one are great, burning rock tunes...but the real monster track here is "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)". This is Dylan at his most open, angry and expressive song, and the album rates this high for its inclusion alone. If this was the only song he ever recorded, he'd be a legend for it. "Money doesn't talk, it swears". Amen, Bob. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2011]

Produced by George Martin. Seven songs from the film with the same name, and seven more for good measure. It's not the best work by The Beatles, but even their lesser albums rate high because that's the standard they set. Two covers and two songs by George Harrison leaves room for 10 Lennon-McCartney originals, which includes "Yesterday", "Ticket To Ride", and "The Night Before". Much better than the film, and much better than what anyone else in rock was doing at the time, Help! remains a classic album, an essential part of any Beatles collection.

Produced by Terry Melcher. The birth of jangle pop right here, on the debut album by The Byrds. They've been dismissed as a Dylan cover band, but this album features only four of his songs. The real secret weapon of the early Byrds was Gene Clark, who appeared to just stand there with a tambourine, but who wrote pretty much all of the bands early great songs. An important album in the marriage that happened in the 60's between folk and rock music, this is great stuff. And vocally, The Byrds were one of the very best.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.9/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.1.
