Top 60 Greatest Music Albums
by Ulf 
Super outdated currently.
This is my personal opinion bla bla bla. These records are ultimately impossible to rank, but perhaps this site is just some kind of static videogame? Im not making reviews just writing silly love songs to make up for my confusion. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Made by myself for myself. (funny videogame)

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.4/100, a mean average of 91.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.8.

I like your taste a lot! Definitely keep expanding this chart when you can. A couple quick suggestions based on what you have on here. Have you heard "Plastic Ono Band" by John Lennon? I think it's far and away his best solo work. Also, have you checked out "The Final Cut"? Given that you have all of PF's classic years discography, and well as that Roger solo album, I think you could really enjoy it

Not a huge fan of the massive rock emphasis and lack of diversity in artist or era (nearly half are from the 70s??) but the notes are so impressive I have to give this chart a high rating. Keep up the good work man this website is built on music lovers like you!!

Great list and some wickedly good notes but Pink Floyd without Wish You Were Here??
Radiohead without In Rainbows!??
I suppose we are all allowed our own taste.
But despite these omissions its a good list.
I can't talk cos I took The Wall off my Top 100....
But...19 albums in common and you have a great, raw number one in Plastic Ono Band. Good work!! (Edited)

Probably my favorite description for an album ever has just appeared on this list: "Listening to this record is like being a fat fuck and eating an apple. It feels so organic and healthy." Fantastic list, loved the in-depth explanation for each album!
