Great choices! Very good chart and very personal too!
The criticism that compilation albums shouldn't appear on a "best albums" list is a fair one, I suppose. On the other hand, the site's called "Best Ever Albums," and not "Best Ever Non-Compilation Albums." Yhat defense having been made, I can see that a list made up entirely of compilation albums would actually be more of a "Best Artist" list than a "Best Album" list. I'll think about it some more, and maybe see what replacing some of the compilations with original-issues would do to my ratings.
I love / like almost all of the artists on your chart, really good taste but....... I have a real overersion to compliations / best ofs being in a best ever albums list. They may be a collection of great songs but they aren't a single body of work. The only exceptions would be artists like Robert Johnson who did have the means to make albums, The Stones (Hot Rocks), would get a thump down, 'cos they could & did.

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 :(
