Il disco che ti modella a sua immagine quando hai l'età giusta per farti modellare, l'album che contiene quelle quattro/cinque canzoni che ti verrebbe da pensare che non te ne servano altre per tutta la vita, un pezzo di musica che è come se fosse un pezzo del tuo corpo.

Gli Stones qui sono una macchina da rock perfettamente oliata, non più nello zenit della loro creatività ma sciolti, potenti, aggressivi, dinamici. La sequenza delle quattro canzoni finali del lato 4 dell'lp, in queste versioni che per me sono le migliori in assoluto, è ciò che rende questo album il mio live preferito.

I Rolling Stones qui lasciano la forma per concentrarsi sulla sostanza e sono in una posizione unica per poterlo fare: una band già rodatissima, famosissima, ricca, potente, imitata ma ancora altamente creativa, ispirata. Possono suonare quindi con la scioltezza di una band esperta ed allo stesso tempo con la freschezza di un gruppo giovane e da questo perfetto ed irripetibile ( ed infatti irripetuto ) equilibrio nasce "Exile…", un misto di rock, blues e country con tanto soul ad irrobustirne le trame. Sporco e lascivo come l'uomo di cui è principalmente emanazione ( Keith Richards ), "Exile…" incarna meglio di ogni altro disco lo spirito del rock'n'roll. DEFINITIVO.

Per me, il top della discografia di David Bowie. Non c'è trilogia berlinese che tenga, non c'è nessuna svolta funky o new wave o, men che meno, dance che possa stare alla pari con la purezza e con la spontaneità di questo album.

Per gli Steely Dan è il terzo perfetto disco, ultimo con la formazione originale: trascende quanto realizzato prima ed è diverso rispetto a tutto quello che verrà dopo, tanto che la musica sembra calare dall'alto su un gruppo altero consapevole di aver raggiunto una perfezione che è di pochi.

Il sangue che Dylan riversò in questi solchi era il suo; poi diventò quello di tutti...anche il mio.

Prodotto da David Bowie, "Transformer" con "Ziggy Stardust" dello stesso Bowie forma un'accoppiata inarrivabile. PECCAMINOSO.

Disco epocale come pochi, "Marquee moon"; il classico esempio di come un musicista possa riversare tutte le proprie idee in un unico progetto per poi campare di rendita, vivacchiare o sparire.

Raccolta in tempo reale con materiale parzialmente inedito costituita quasi interamente da pezzi eccellenti quando non capolavori, influenti e che diverranno stra famosi. Un pilastro della musica italiana di ogni epoca, con non molti rivali, artisticamente parlando, anche fuori confine. Un talento "senza limiti e confini"

Tralascio di dire della copertina di "Who's next", una tra le più iconiche della storia della musica rock; tralascio anche di parlare della scaletta, composta esclusivamente da grandi canzoni manco si fosse di fronte ad un greatest hits eppure da una media stellare riescono a spiccare ed andare verso l'infinito ed oltre almeno due brani, il primo e l'ultimo; tralascio pure di dire proprio di queste canzoni, dell'urlo di Daltrey non meno famoso in musica di quanto lo sia quello di Munch nella pittura, o della commistione mai così riuscita ( a nessuno ) tra le tastiere così lontane dal rock ortodosso e quello stesso rock granitico, devastante, potente, lirico; tralascio infine di sottolineare fino a quale punto di bravura erano arrivati i singoli componenti del gruppo. Tralascio tutto, perché non ci sono parole. MONUMENTO.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 82.1/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.6.

Love the Chart.
(a bit redundant with too many Stones and Dylan Albums)

Overall I get it. I’d like to see a bit more diversity, but I share your taste for many of these albums and artists. Some I am yet to explore. So thanks for some ideas.
