Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by mrmcrook
A best album for me is an album in which every song is an absolute gem (with the exception of maybe one mediocre track). An album of brilliance and enjoyment from start to finish.
Not ones with a half dozen epic tracks, the other half nothing but filler.
I realize my chart has a lot of compilations and many people believe compilations shouldn't count. The reason I have included them is so I can add a few bands/artists that have fantastic music and should be recognized. Otherwise the list will be hugely dominated by a dozen bands that everyone knows has a huge number of worthy albums. Hence why the large amount of compilations and live albums.
Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Me gustan los charts que incluyen notas para justificar la inclusión de los álbumes.
No soy muy fan del Heavy Metal pero viendo tu chart, tomaré algunos de los álbumes que seleccionaste para darle una oportunidad al género
English review
I like charts that include notes to justify the inclusion of the albums.
I'm not a big fan of Heavy Metal but looking at your chart, I'll take some of the albums you selected hoping I'll like "metal" even a little
Great seeing Alice Cooper and The Dead Kennedy’s
You get only 90 instead of 100 cause you listed Rammstein...
I moved into Myles Heskett's (wolfmother) old rental some years back. Am no longer there but I used the bungalow that was his drum studio as my own sound design studio; cool guy and cool music. I love how personal this chart is too, including things like the bad seeds comp makes perfect sense when you rationalise it that way.
Good to see the Aussie & NZ bands/albums get a mention - but then again, we would be inclined that way given our geographical position on the planet. I respect your musical preferences even though we have travelled down very different musical routes. Loved seeing Jethro Tull's 'Aqualung' squeeze into the top 100.
Lovin some of those choices, fellow Aussie. Great writeups, and some of those albums - absolute bloody belters - I feel exactly the same way about!
Definitely a good chart. A lot of the same choices as mine. But I like the additions of The Dead Kennedys, Monster Magnet, QOTSA, and Lacuna Coil, among others.
Cool chart! There's definitely some stuff I'd like to check out. Love the variety as well. I also really like Elbow.
Very nice chart...thank you
Good to see Dark Side in first place.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
