To think this was done with a primitive four-track analogue recording equipment... no high tech state of the art studio and digital editing.
George Martin, producer for The Beatles, actually believed that the limitations of the four-track stimulated creativity and that the album would not have been as good if recorded on a 24-track. By using a multi-channel mixer several parts could be recorded to one channel. This however meant that any processing such as equalisation and compression would have to be applied during recording, as the tracks could not be separated once recorded. This yielded a far narrower margin for error than is available with modern digital recording.
This innovative adventure changed the musical landscape forever. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2012]
This emotionally powerful album contains elaborate layers of lush vocal harmonies with stunning melodies, extravagant orchestration, unorthodox instrumentation (bicycle bells, harpsichords, Electro-Theremin, dog whistles, trains, Coca-Cola cans and barking dogs) , baroque arrangements, and technological advances in recording that heralded the psychedelic era and set a new standard for musical creativity.

Material that was both poppy and deeply out there.
An incredibly influential psychedelic album, full of surprising and inventive music. These surrealistic textures recommended to anyone with an open mind. Pink Floyd never made an album which even approached being this trippy. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2012]

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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.6.

Beautiful chart.
Perfect choices and great comments. Maybe too much dominated by the Beatles but I love the Beatles so you won't hear me complain.
Sweeeet chart! 42 in common with mine which is only 66 favs of the 60's
Very good, many surprising choices!
wow 36 in common.
Great choices! Especially Jefferson Airplane and Velvet Underground!
Scary - it's just like mine. Hooray for Otis Redding!
Thanks ... I will have to check them out. I remember my older brother listening to "Nice" once upon a time, he was a big fan of ELP.
Very good list! Many Kinks, Floyd, Beach Boys, Beatles, Yardbirds records, very good. Thanks for putting Wonderwall by G.H., that's a cool stuff. I'd recommend the Pretty Things, the Incredible String Band, the Soft MAchine or the Nice if you haven't listened to their records yet.
We have almost a quarter of our charts the same - and not the albums I was expecting either! An excellent list!
