Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
Jbalbinolr 
It´s very difficult to rank one tastes in a subjective way, when everyday those tastes change and what it´s my #30 today could be #90 tomorrow, so there isn´t a clear answer that stays the same for more than a week. However what I can say it´s that all these albums have impacted me at least in some way, being by surprise, love or simply that I listen to them all time. All here are at least 100/100 for me subjectively, even if they have mistakes, I can´t stop listening to them. Why? I don´t know.
My biggest loves are Punk and Jazz, I have a lot of respect for some classic rock bands, and my absolute favorites artists are the Beach Boys and Ornette Coleman. The Top 25 albums on this list are reserved for music that impacted me, and showed me things that I didn't know were possible on music when I first heard them.
I am open to receive any sugestions outside of the bands present on this list. Also, this list does not include any classical music, as is completely different to popular music (Both great though!).
One album per artist.

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 89.7/100, a mean average of 91.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.7.

This chart is so full of surprises - I really enjoyed scrolling through the entries & realising how much more music I still have to discover. I was hoping, given the diversity of your musical journey, that you may have stumbled upon something of significance from Australia or New Zealand - but alas, no.

Cannot believe I underestimated this chart. This is such a superb work dude!

The trout mask replica at #3 is an interesting pick. Sick list!
This list can be called many things but "predictable" isn't one of them. In fact, it may seem a bit all over the place, but this endless variety is actually its main strength.

The Carl Stalling Project pulled me in, but the entire chart was fun to browse. Good diverse cross-section of classic & avant-garde, with some unexpected surprises scattered throughout. Nice job!

Extend it! I had the same experience with Pet Sounds.

Very cool, but gotta have a 100 to rate it properly. You’re definitely onto something here!
