Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by smrtboi2120

A few main points:

On the top albums, this is not really different from a usual chart - Radiohead and Beatles.

I think that Vampire Weekend is too underrated here.

I'm glad to see that only 2 albums by Arcade Fire is here.

I'm glad to see here United by Phoenix, I think it's really underrated.

Not a really special chart, but a lovely one.

Undoubtedly a list of 100 good albums, I just find the structure a bit strange. Although 73% of your chart is music from the 21st century, music from the same period comprises only 15% of your top 20. Seems like you feel obliged to give more weight to regarded classics. The comment about improving accuracy when you've listened to more albums from the past sounds like you automatically believe those albums will be better. To me it makes perfect sense that you would like more albums that were contemporary to you, I feel numbers 21-100 in your chart probably say more about you and your taste than numbers 1-20. Of course the top loading of your chart with regarded classics may just be proof that those albums are truly great albums and the juxtaposition of your top 20 and next 80 might be just a quirk of your taste, or my analytical nature. I just found it interesting.

pretty good, but you're right it is pretty 00's/10's focused. I've grown up in this era too so I understand. For that I must recommend Sufjan Stevens' "Age of Adz". It's an eclectic, electronic, hip-hip infused indie-symphony. Needless to say I love it. The other album that I think you'd like, though I'm sure you;re aware of it, is the Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds". Also "Forever Changes" by Love is something I think you would like.

I appreciate your inclusion of Gorillaz albums, but overall, you're coming from a different set of tastes despite having 7 of the same albums as me. Still, nice to see another user that's so focused on recent music. But damn, there's so much 00's music in so few years!
