Simple instrumentation, jarringly soothing vocals, and beautiful lyricism make this album one of his best. Brings even an atheist to tears. [First added to this chart: 05/04/2018]

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 90.9/100, a mean average of 92.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.8.

I like this charts although not familiar with many of the albums - finish your notes so I can decide which one's I will listen to this year!!
Also agree that you should look back further to 60's, 70's & 80's stuff.
Seems you quite like serious/intelligent stuff so I suggest trying Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation from the 80's - avant rock/ art punk; try Lou Reed's Berlin from the 70's - second side is pretty heavy going but if it hits a nerve then you will love it; Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk from the 60's - Blues/Garage/Acid and Psychedelic Rock with a few defo weird bits.

Wow, it keeps getting better! Because you like Animal Collective + Sgt. Pepper's, you may enjoy The Smile Sessions.

Love the Fishmans representation! It's a lot of Radiohead but I can dig it. There's a wide variety of genres here to check out.

Great Chart and thanks for fishmans. Never heard before about his music. Now, i´m a little bit excited before my first listen.

I´m suprised that Panda Bears Person Pitch is not in your list.

So maybe you know them, but if you don´t, listen to Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth

LOVE your notes and the inclusion of Vespertine so high, along with a ton of my own personal favourites from the 90s/00s!! That said, with more Radiohead albums than anything from the 60s/70s/80s makes me feel like your missing out on some older underground classics? I might get this wrong but here's a couple of picks that you might enjoy :)

Nico - Chelsea Girl (gorgeous chamber folk album from the VU collaborater)
The United States Of America - The United States Of America (the only album from the massively ahead of their time and influential psychedelic rock band)
Brigitte Fontaine - Comme A La Radio (experimental chanson album loved by Beck and Sonic Youth among others)
Exuma - Exuma (eerie and sometimes beautiful folk from the Bahamas)
Galaxie 500 - On Fire (exemplary dream pop album that could be released now and still sound as fresh)
