Wish You Were Here 

 Pink Floyd

You can feel the anger and confusion of this album. Each song clearly reflects the band's feelings on the loss of their friend and why they think it happened. Corporate greed, substance abuse, and the dangers of overworking are all so tastefully portrayed through lyrics and sounds. I think it's so beautiful that guitars are used to represent Syd's voice crying out. There are so many other beautiful details like that scattered throughout the whole duration.

If I could I'd put every Billy Joel album right here, they're all really high quality, especially this one, 52nd street, and glass houses, so this will just count for all of those

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 91.2/100, a mean average of 92.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.1.

Igor Illinois Transatlanticism and Mercurial World in the top 10 is the way to go. MCR Neverind Weezer Jeff Buckley I like it. I'm not personally that big on the 1975 but I totally understand your reasoning. Good chart. Found this from Mag Bay btw.

I love this chart because it looks like the sort of chart my son would create ~ and despite the generation gap, we would still have ONE album in common - Jeff Buckley's "Grace".
Enjoyed the album comments.
Over the next few weeks I will venture off into some new music (for me) with this chart as my roadmap.
BTW - loved seeing 2 Aussie albums in the top 100!!

Interesting to see what an 18-year-old likes. The exuberant reviews are fun to read. I’ll probably listen to some of these that I had disregarded.

Love it. Clearly have your own taste in music but also clear you love music which is great! Much respect seeing our mutual love of Continuum! Also that Lianne La Havas album is indeed great! Have you ever listened to Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill? If not, highly recommended! Anyway, glad to see this and I hope to see you around the forums if you ever feel so inclined.
