Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by DJENNY (2021) 
These are my favorites. 100 albums I would bring to a desert island. So many more I wish I could add.
For reference, I was born on September 30th, 1996. This explains the healthy representation of contemporary albums on my chart.

Track Pick: Anywhere I Lay My Head
An album equivalent to a pub crawl on the town where each song is another bar you drunkenly stumble into. [First added to this chart: 05/30/2017]

Track Pick: Bring Da Ruckus
Nine of Staten Islands' baddest rappers come together to pay homage to classic samurai films such as Shogun Assassin and The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin. Each member has such a distinct personality and strength that amalgamate into a very fun and versatile listen. [First added to this chart: 05/30/2017]

When I heard this album my sophomore year in high school I became obsessed with Frank Black's Interplanetary Surfer Rock.
This album is a melded immediately with my ADD-riddled mind. Each song traces back to punk roots through its brevity. After listening to the album the songs, rapid guitar licks and the absurdist lyrics are unable to leave my brain. [First added to this chart: 05/30/2017]

Favorite Track: Friction. Emerging out of the CBGB crowd, Television was one of the last bands of that era to release music, but all that time performing clubs helped the band concentrate on their sound. This album features a total eight songs each one has been crafted to perfection. Every time you hear it, it is like hearing it for the first time.
Good lord, this album kicks so much ass. [First added to this chart: 10/31/2017]

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 94.2/100, a mean average of 94.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 95.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.0.

I'm glad you enjoyed it too! Really not a bad track in the album. Though I had spoiled myself with half the album before release, the tracks still came together in a really effective way. My favorite album in recent memory for sure.

Really awesome and diverse chart! I had a great time looking through it and need to get around to listening to the albums I haven't heard from it (about half of them).
I'm not sure if it's just a glitch that's affecting me but some of the comments seem to be appearing under the wrong albums. For example I am seeing the comment for Tago Mago appearing under Led Zeppelin II. Just thought I'd let you know in case it's not just happening for me.
Keep up the great work, peace
