The Absolute Best Concept Album of All Time

A Bisexual Alien with no Gender comes to Earth to become a Rock Star When the planet only has 5 years of Life left and that's only the first 2 Songs !!!!
I Don't want to spoil you with the rest of the story so get your headphones and start listening, for those who knows this one you know what im talking :)
A perfect Record with some of the best songs of in my opinion the Best Solo Recording artist (Tied With Miles Davis i think)
You have to play the record, close your eyes and picture the 38:29 minutes of Creativeness Bowie have with this one because the recorded this and Hunky Dory in just 1 Year!!!

Thank you For all Space Man

One of the Most Influential Albums of All Time

Bowie at the peak of his powers, the album that begun the Berlin Trilogy, with production giants like Tony Visconti and Brian Eno, the First half og the album sounds electronic, experimental but the second half is the real beginning of Ambient music as we know it on this part of the planet alone with Another Green World by Brian Eno Also, this album isa experience sounds like an utopic future and Warszawa & Subterraneans are just a perfect example of that word, sometimes this is my favorite Bowie album, aslo Bowie is the Best Solo Artist of the Century.
This Album influenced acts like Joy Division, Nine Inch Nails, Wire, The Cure just to name a Few

Best Songs: Warszawa / Subterraneans / Sound And Vision

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 91.2/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.3.

From KineticEchoes02 02/26/2023 00:06

Hey man, I've come back to this chart a second time and it gets a perfect 100. I love your introduction and the huge respect you've given to the artists, producers and collaborators that made this amazing music possible and brought so much joy to our lives. You've clearly put a lot of work into this, there's an awesome personal touch to it and I can relate totally to your stories within. I've also got some great tips off this chart - whilst there are plenty of well-know classics - and you share much of the same tastes as mine - there are quite a few I must give a listen, and it's really helpful that you've listed all the genres/sub-genres covered in those albums. Love this!

Very classical chart. Fine.
Your liner notes are well informed, personal, characterful and warm hearted,
No surprise that everyone gives you a good rating.

Mucha música similar, pero sí extrañé más artistas de habla hispana. Sin embargo se entiende que hay que traer a cuento un ch1ng* álbumes clásicos que yo dejé fuera. ¡Saludos, man!
