Produced by Jimmy Miller. The best years of The Rolling Stones were the years that Mick Taylor was the lead guitarist. Sticky Fingers is the best of that period, the best album of the Stones career. And that's saying a lot. "Brown Sugar", "Bitch", "Sway", "Dead Flowers", "Sister Morphine"...this album has it all. It's got a variety of sounds, it rocks, and outside of the ill-conceived jazzy end of "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'", it's absolutely perfect. Sticky Fingers is why The Stones are called the greatest band in the world. They do not disappoint. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by George Harrison & Phil Spector. The very first big rock benefit concert brought together Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, Ravi Shankar and Bob Dylan for one of the greatest live albums ever. Early live performances of George's later Beatles songs and the joy that shines from him onstage makes this worth every second. One of the great shining moments of the seventies, and a joy to listen to each and every time. Will always love you, George. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by Jimmy Page. You may think I have this ranked too low...you may be right. It's not that I don't love this album (technically untitled, dammit), it's just that I don't hear it a lot. It's one of those special albums that I don't like to spoil with repeated listenings, because I want it to always be as special as it always has been. This may not make sense to you, but it really does, with this album especially, for me. Every song here is special to me, and I plan to keep it that way. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

Produced by Rod Stewart. Before he sold his soul to the devil for God only know what, Rod Stewart was the coolest singer on the planet. And he was never better than he was here, the pinnacle of his solo career...his entire career. This album boasts not only his finest material in "Maggie May", "Mandolin Wind" and the title track, but also shows that he used to have great taste in covers. 5 years later, Stewart was courting the realms of really bad music and taaste, but here, he's at his exceptional 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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.0/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.9.

Too much emphasis on classic rock for a higher rating than 80 sorry. Not a single German album in a decade that was defining for the German music scene??

Can't argue with any of these picks. Deja Vu is a wonderful pick as #1. Cars, in my opinion, don't get enough love, and plenty-o-Zep!
