The mother of all compilations. Glorious collection of late 20s/early 30s folk music, including famed Carter Family, Blind Willie Johnson, etc; but also the amazing, not so famous, Buell Kazee.

The title says it all. Mango Records have designed a 4 CD-box set all arranged in chronological order, from the late 50s to dancehall ; from The Folkes Brothers' "Oh Carolina" to Shaggy's cover. Essential.

I could have charted any item in the Ethiopiques series focusing on ethio-jazz, they're all beautiful. This particular volume focuses on "Tezeta", the local form of spleen.

Otis Redding, Sam Dave, Rufus & Carla, Booker T., etc. Glorious compilation from the best sounding southern soul label. Stax IS soul. A better yet selection would be "The Complete Stax/Volt singles", 9 CDs of pure bliss.

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 89.8/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.4.

Je ne connais seulement que 2 des 50 albums de ce classement !
A Christmas Gift For You (excellent) et l'album du 50ème anniversaire de la Stax (non moins excellent).
Plein de compils à découvrir donc ! Merci

Great idea. and those first 2 are like holy grails. I especially loved seeing that Anticon sampler here. Although the American Folk Anthology basically covers a lot of the same ground, I gotta suggest Revenant Records "American Primitive" collections.

Judgement Night always had my attention... I never knew whether I liked it or not, but I still listened. What's Up Matador is great...
Nice chart...

You will probably enjoy the 3CD box set of "Nouvelle Vague - Chansons et musiques de films" from last year.

All I can say is Wow!!! I don't include compilations in my overall / decade / year charts & was thinking of putting together a compilation chart myself. Could I beat yours? Doubtful. This is brill & so much new to discover.
