Ranking The 10’s
by AAL2014

With this chart I’m keeping track of every album I’ve rated a 10/10 and ranking them. However, to make this list different than just the 10’s from my Main Chart, my ranking isn’t based on personal preference so much as how confident I am in giving the album a perfect score.

Regardless of any arbitrary nitpicking though.. these albums are all 10’s. These are all some of my very favorite albums and they are all exemplary pieces of music from their respective fields, genres, and eras.

As of December, 2023, there are 30 albums on the list. I know some people (even going by some of the user graphs on this site) feel there are hundreds of perfect albums, I know others with less than 5. But with the amount of music I’ve consumed and absolutely cherish, 30 is still exclusive company.

Hope you enjoy!
