Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by jtrizzle35

Way too hard to rank albums in one set order. To make things easier, I just rank them in the order that I am likely to play these albums in the car while driving alone. I am aware that the majority of these albums were released fairly recently.... I am but a young man born in the late 90s.

Also it's worth noting that I am slowly but surely adding writeups to all of these albums. Thanks, love you guys.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

This is another one of those only listen to this when I have seasonal depression ones. This took me like two years to really fall in love with it but something about Covid and being stuck in my house for an indefinite amount of time caused me to see it in a different light.

Favorite associated memory: Trying to break my 5k PR on the indoor track and my music was on shuffle. One of the songs from this album came on, probably Suzanne I think, and I decided to keep it on. I can't remember if I ended up breaking my PR that time but I probably didn't because as many of you probably know, Leonard Cohen does not make great running music.

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 11% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

Some great albums - not the order I'd agree with (no surprises there).

I like your writing at the top. You prefer the new stuff and good on you. I roll my eyes every time I see a list with 70 albums in the 60s/70s. And I do like a lot of the picks too. Could still probably use a little more diversity. There are some really great hidden gems from the 20th century. No, not beatles/stones/who/floyd.

When I Get Home is indeed a bliss, maybe I should add it to my chart too.

I really like your chart, and the surprises in it. But the majority are still these ermm... household names. Just saying, don't be afraid to step on the toes of some people on this site; they won't be satisfied until your chart is literally 1. Radiohead, 2. Pink Floyd, 3. Arcade Fire. You know, I would love it if I could find some new music through your chart, because I think you have good taste. But I think I can count the albums I don't know on one hand (which is still better than most people here though).

But hey, if this is just your unfiltered opinion, I've said nothing. Keep up the good work.

Some interesting choices that I wouldn't have selected. But to each his own. I like seeing a lot of picks from the 2010s.
