@corenfro It's just a gag title feom a quote that was well known in music circles in Australia quite a few years ago now related to top 100s. I am not really saying what albums I think should be higher - just reranking the BEA top 100 according to my tastes - some higher some lower.
Thanks for checking it out and apologies for the misderection 😎

I like this concept and I like your charts as a whole. I just don't understand a few of the placements here: if this is supposed to be an "underrated" why do you have consensus top 5's in your top 5? Wouldn't that just mean you agree with the rating? In fact: Dark Side is overall #2 and you have it at #3 on the "Ya joking? Should've been higher!" chart. So is that you saying you think it is overrated?

To be clear: Dark Side is a fantastic album and I agree it belongs in the pantheon, but overrated? No. An album can't really be overrated if it's a consensus all-time great. Maybe I misunderstand?

Wow! Pinkerton has left the top 100! And Physical Graffiti is out again, as Blonde by Frank Ocean, and Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder enter the BEA top 100,

One Zep album replaces another as Physical Graffiti comes back in and Houses of the Holy leaves. Harvest also leaves again as Homogenic returns.

Led Zeppelin have a double with both Physical Graffiti and Houses Of The Holy re- entering at the expense of Harvest by Neil Young and Homogenic by Bjork.

Houses Of The Holy by Led Zeppelin drops out and is replaced by Homogenic by Bjork - I would rather Houses Of The Holy.
