Jazz
Jazz is surely the most important musical genre of the 20th century. And the album "Kind Of Blue" is by far the best jazz album of all time. Even if you do not like jazz, you have to love this incomparable masterpiece. The album is probably one of the coolest album of all time (still today, while this album at over 50 years old). Miles Davis conveys emotions through this record such as melancholy, romance, joy ... This album is also revolutionary for jazz, it is the inventor of modal jazz and the New Age movement. Miles Davis is actually an artist who touches me. This is my favorite musician: these melodies are so beautiful. He is a really important artist. I think this album is the greatest musical emotion of all my life. I even learned all the pieces of the record at the piano so much I'm a fan. I recommend this classic to 10000%.

Hip-Hop
I'm a hip-hop fan since I was little. During my adolescence, I only listened to rap. For me, hip-hop has always been one of the most important genres of contemporary music. I did not know 80s hip-hop because I was not born but since the mid-90's I've been listening to rap ... When I was a kid, Nas A's "Illmatic" was for me a revelation. It is surely the album of rap that I listened the most. The prod are excellent, the flow of Nas is violent and great. The lyrics are hardcore and conscious of New York. This album is one of the first to have made me love real music ... Surely my favorite Hip-Hop album of all time.

Alternative Rock
Pixies is one of my favorite bands, this band has inspired many other great bands such as Nirvana, Daughters and even Hip-Hop crew like De La Soul. Their best album is by far "Doolittle", all by itself this album is a best-of of the band. The fifteen titles are masterpieces. For me, it remains the best album of alternative rock and noise rock. This album has not aged, it is always great between violence and cool attitude, beetween "Debaser" and "Gouge Away", Pixies have managed to create a timeless classic. Frank Black is one of the greatest genius of rock ... "Doolittle" is the perfect rock album, a classics composed only of hits that will never be forgotten.

Folk Rock, Singer-Songwriter
Bob Dylan is my favorite singer: his voice is perfect, his lyrics are very very well written and he has the sense of music and melodies. Dylan is really one of the solo artists that really marked me like Miles Davis, David Bowie, Lou Reed ... Dylan is a folk artist and for his 2nd album he decided not to be alone with his guitar but to be accompanied by other instruments. This gave "Highway 61 Revisited", an album that exploded the folk and revolutionized Rock. Indeed, since this album, Dylan really has the Rock'n'Roll spirit. This album consists of multiple standart pop music from the 60s. This album is really great, it's really hard not like it.

Alternative Metal
Rage Against The Machine is the band that struck me the most. During my childhood, I only listened to rap, but one day I discovered RATM. This band that mixed rock and rap made me discover the whole rock universe. Like many, I discovered them from the very beginning. This album is for me the very definition of a perfect album. It's genius! all titles are musical masterpieces between virtuosity, rage and power.Tom Morello is my favorite guitarist: he is really creative and virtuoso, these solo are great. RATM have succeeded in renewing rock by creating a unique and recognizable sound among a thousand. The rebel message is excellent and is very intelligent in my opinion. The tracks are all more cult one than the other (Do not despise any), this album is one of the most cult and striking in the history of music. I would not be the same if this album did not exist...

Hip-Hop
Wu-Tang Clan is my favorite hip-hop crew. The crew is composed of the best rappers in the universe: RZA "The Scientist", GZA "The Genius", Ol 'Dirty Bastard "The Specialist", Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, U-God, Masta Killa and the great , the god of hip-hop: Ghosteface Killah. "Enter The Wu-Tang" is one of the hottest album I have ever heard. It's never heard, brothel! The world of rap It is fucked in a hardcore gangbang by 9 members of Wu-Tang. The atmosphere is sticky, roomy and dark. The productions of RZA are excellent, mixed and sampled to perfection, the beats are serious and marshy. This album is the greatest classic of modern hip-hop and RZA and its accolythes are the greatest god of rap and music in general...

Jazz Fusion, Avant-Garde Jazz
This album is a jewel, a killing, an absolute masterpiece, an extremely important record for me, and one of the most essential, major records in the history of music, and, in particular, in jazz. "Bitches Brew", this Brouet of Sluts, is an album simply hypnotic, essential, grandiose, an album absolutely unbeatable, as well at Miles (except "Kind Of Blue" which is the best album of all time) that among the other jazzmen. An album that will sell by thousands of copies, and will be variously welcomed: purists will say that this is not true jazz, and young people will appreciate this mix of cultures making them discover a new way to listen to rock. On arrival, a perfect record, huge, monstrous, grrrreat.

Folk Rock, Singer-Songwriter
Bob Dylan is actually the best folk artist in rock history. He is also one of the first rock artists to have released a double album with Frank Zappa. This album is called "Blonde On Blonde" and is simply the most ambitious album of Dylan's extraordinary discography. This album is an incredible masterpiece. It would probably be in my list of the 10 most essential rock albums. Dylan is actually my favorite songwriter. It is impossible to love Dylan without loving "Blonde On Blonde", IMPOSSIBLE! The 73 minutes of the album are exceptional and never tired. Worship of the cult.

Alternative Rock, Power Pop
Weezer is the band of reference for any follower of contemporary rock. Their debut album is for me one of the best debut rock album I have ever heard. "The Blue Album" is surely the album I've listened to most of all time. During my teenage years, I started to listen to Rock and this album is for me one of the greatest classic of the 90's. When you see the head of the band member on the blue sleeve united you say to yourself "that Is it that these nerds get raided and rejected by the girls? " And you are right. In reality Weezer is an extraordinary group endowed with power and a certain charisma. The singer, Rivers Cuomo knows how to create energetic musics with heavy guitar riffs. Weezer really managed to create a perfect balance between acid and aggressive rock and cheerful and catchy pop. This album is really revolutionary and that's why Weezer remains one of my favorite bands.

New Wave, Post-Punk
Alert to cult record !!!!
Talking Heads is one of my 5 favorite bands (with Velvet, RATM, Radiohead and Pixies), their originality is extraordinary and their sound is unique and dancing.
In the early 80s, David Byrne and Brian Emo (2 great geniuses of music) create a musical UFO that is probably one of the most cult of all time. "Remain In Light" is totally revolutionary in the use of instruments since it mixes African rhythms and urban electronics. The legendary Talking Heads album remains as danceable and modern. This record is fabulous and visionary.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.6/100, a mean average of 94.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.9.

I like your chart. Love people finding Ziggy saw impressive so long after its release and glad that it isn't just a moment in time. Just found RATM recently and it blew me away.

We have similar tastes. really like the variety...great chart.
I am surprised that everyone still appreciate the "velvet underground and nico" album.. That came out when I was in 7th grade..so great. never gets old. Came out during the 'summer of love' with 'are you experienced" (may 31st), "sgt pepper"(june 1st) and "surrealistic pillow". amazing
summer for music. and then there was all of the singles being released on AM radio..every day was something new. I can't explain it..I was lucky to have been a kid then.

Amazing top 10, even if I'd keep the same artist and swap another album of theirs. Well balanced and fine choices. 29 artists in common.

This strikes me as a very well thought out objective Greatest Albums chart. You have found 3 albums outside the top 500 on this site and all of those three are inside the top 1000. Do you have some less acclaimed favourites that you believe warrant being in the company of some of these classics? I reckon music appreciation is largely a subjective experience. The objective stuff is important in assessing the best of the best, of course, but surely you have more outliers beyond the top 500 that warrant a call out.
Nonetheless I agree with many of your choices. It’s good to see you have an appreciation for the Icelandic beauty of Sigur Ros and Björk amongst the acclaimed classics.
