4. Buddy Holly
5. Undone-The Sweater Song
6. Surf Wax America
7. Say It Ain't So
8. In The Garage
9. Holiday
10. Only In Dreams
There are 3 self titled albums by Weezer...the green one, the red one, and this, the blue one. Their debut album, (they played their first gig opening for Dogstar, Keannu Reeves' horrible band), is a gem. Four geeky looking guys flat out rocking. "The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly" were great hits, and the rest is pure power pop. Weezer was like a breath of fresh air in 1994, and it looked like they were going to be huge.
They never matched the success of this album, though. They have gone through personnel changes, infighting, legal battles over the title of their second album, and a 5 year hiatus between the 2nd and 3rd release. But the first Weezer album is a package of romping, heavy, funny, melodic good times. Highly recommended. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2026]
Produced By DAVE JERDEN & ALICE IN CHAINS
1. Them Bones
2. Dam That River
3. Rain When I Die
4. Down In A Hole
5. Sickman
6. Rooster
7. Junkhead
8. Dirt
9. God Smack
10. Hate To Feel
11. Angry Chair
12. Would?
Sometimes, a train wreck of a band can make a pretty good record. Alice In Chains did it. And for such a mess of a group and for one so short lived, they managed to be pretty influencial. Dirt is their second album, and was a monster success. Peppered with hits throughout, it’s amazing the album was even made. All four members were battling addictions at the time, and the record is a mostly depressing mess that somehow manages to work. Bassist Mike Starr would leave the band afterward (he died last year), and singer Layne Staley passed away in 2002.
But of the 12 tracks here, 5 were hits, including “Rooster” and “Down In A Hole”. The album also has “God Smack”, which was later taken for the band of the same name. This is dark, weird grungy stuff, heavy, and somehow a lot of fun. Things never really worked for Alice In Chains again, but Dirt is still a pretty great album.

1. Round Here
2. Omaha
3. Mr. Jones
4. Perfect Blue Buildings
5. Anna Begins
6. Time And Time Again
7. Rain King
8. Sullivan Street
9. Ghost Train
10. Raining In Baltimore
11. A Murder Of One
On August And Everything After, the debut album from Counting Crows, we thought we were getting a new voice for a generation. “Mr. Jones” is a stunning sequel and homage to Dylan’s “Ballad Of A Thin Man”, and it’s a stunning piece of work. Singer Adam Duritz channels not only Dylan, but also Springsteen and Van Morrison in ways that few can dream of. Literal like Dylan, soulful like Van, and able to make long wordy phrases make musical sense like Bruce, Duritz seemed, for a moment, like the new literary rock hope. “Round Here”, a song from his previous band, and “Rain King” and “A Murder Of One” are exceptional tracks, giving the illusion that this was going to be one huge monster of a band and that Duritz was going to have one of those rare rock careers…but there were already cracks in the armor. But, for the moment, this was great stuff.
Helped by producer T-Bone Burnett, August And Everything After showcases all that is great about Counting Crows…and everything that has always kept them from the throne of truly great bands. While the band is capable, they have always taken a back seat to Duritz, never really stepping to the front as a unit. And Duritz, with all of his strengths, can be wildly inconsistent and overly wordy…and he often comes across as whiny. After this album, those weaknesses were always more evident, which is why this is the album by the Crows that you really should have. This is their most consistent set of songs, their strongest musically, and the best lyrics that Duritz has committed to record. They never worked with a better producer than Burnett, and they never had the fortune to be blessed with another song as magical as “Mr. Jones”. Still good…and almost great.

Produced By NEIL DORFSMAN & MARK KNOPFLER
1. So Far Away
2. Money For Nothing
3. Walk Of Life
4. Your Latest Trick
5. Why Worry
6. Ride Across The River
7. The Man’s Too Strong
8. One World
9. Brothers In Arms
The greatest commercial achievement for Dire Straits also turned out to be the beginning of the end of the band. The last five years had been a struggle for Mark Knopfler and company following the excellent Making Movies. Love Over Gold had the exceptional 14 minute track “Telegraph Road”, but not much else. This had been followed by a somewhat lame extended play and a disappointing live album (Alchemy). So, when Brothers In Arms exploded in 1985, it was actually something of a surprise. That they became the poster band for MTV was even more surprising. “Money For Nothing”, with its cheesy slick animated video and backup vocals by Sting, became ridiculously enormous. The better tracks fared not as well, but don’t disappoint. “So Far Away” is a fine song, but points the way to more mellowness to come. “The Man’s Too Strong” and “Your Latest Trick” are better representative of what Dire Straits was now about…this was fast turning into one of the mellowest bands in the world…had they continued on, they may have gotten even softer.
The two tracks that people identify most with the album are actually the two that don’t fit in. “Money For Nothing” is that huge guitar riff over some badly recorded snare shots and “I want my MTV”. The other is “Walk Of Life”, which (thankfully) sounds nothing like anything the band ever recorded. The rest is Knopfler maturing, and even though the sound is sometimes so quiet you can barely hear it, it’s pretty strong work. The tracks are long…five of the nine are over six minutes long. It’s the stuff that didn’t get hammered into the radio over and over that will stick with you. The hits are disposable and dated, and the album would be better without them. But songs like the title track, “Why Worry”, and “Ride Across The River”, while sounding like whispers compared to earlier Dire Straits tracks, have a definite beauty about them. The band made only one more album, six years after this, and then they were gone. But there’s enough to make you smile here. You just won’t spend much time rocking out to it.

Produced By JASON ISBELL & PATTERSON HOOD
1. Brand New Kind Of Actress
2. Down In A Hole
3. Try
4. Chicago Promenade
5. Dress Blues
6. Grown
7. Hurricanes And Hand Grenades
8. In A Razor Town
9. Shotgun Wedding
10. The Magician
11. The Devil Is My Running Mate
Jason Isbell joined the Drive By Truckers in 2001, and played on 3 of their albums before leaving for a solo career in 2007. His presence with the Truckers gave them a formidable 3 guitar, 3 writer lineup. He is an excellent songwriter...you only need to hear the excellent "Danko/Manuel" to know that.
Sirens Of The Ditch is his solo debut. His songs, as always, are great. The performance sounds tentative at times, and the album is less rocking than his work with DBT. "Brand New Kind Of Actress" (which is supposedly about the death of Lana Clarkson at Phil Spector's mansion), "Dress Blues" and "Hurricanes And Hand Grenades" are highlights. Not a bad album, but his next effort was much stronger. [First added to this chart: 07/22/2024]
Produced By THE ROBB BROTHERS
1. Rockin' Stroll
2. Confetti
3. It's A Shame About Ray
4. Rudderless
5. Buddy
6. The Turnpike Down
7. Bitpart
8. Alison's Starting To Happen
9. Hannah & Gabi
10. Kitchen
11. Ceiling Fan In My Spoon
12. Frank Mills
13. Mrs. Robinson
Lemonheads is the domain of Evan Dando and a revolving cast of friends. It's A Shame About Ray is their 5th and best album. With Julianna Hatfield of Blake Babies, the album clicks and runs along like a well oiled machine. Great songs like "Buddy" (originally "My Drug Buddy"), "Alison's Starting To Happen", and a cover of the Hair tune "Frank Mills" make this a great listen. The cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" at the end just makes it all the better.
Lemonheads broke up in 1997, but started back up in 2005. They've released 2 albums since, including 2009's Varshons. [First added to this chart: 10/28/2013]
Produced By DAVID BRIGGS & NEIL YOUNG
1. On The Way Home
2. Tell Me Why
3. Old Man
4. Journey Through The Past
5. Helpless
6. Love In Mind
7. A Man Needs A Maid/Heart Of Gold Suite
8. Cowgirl In The Sand
9. Don't Let It Bring You Down
10. There's A World
11. Bad Fog Of Loneliness
12. The Needle And The Damage Done
13. Ohio
14. See The Sky About To Rain
15. Down By The River
16. Dance Dance Dance
17. I Am A Child
For the most part, I'm not a big fan of "lost" tracks. But it's different when an artist like Neil Young makes live recordings from his private archives public. Live At Massey Hall was recorded during Young's Journey Through The Past Solo Tour in 1971 at Massey Hall in Toronto. The album features only Young on guitar and piano, and is an amazingly well played set. Young has said that this should have been the record that came out between After The Gold Rush and Harvest, but he opted for a studio release.
Many of the songs here had yet to see record yet (all of the Harvest tracks, plus some others that surfaced on later albums). "Bad Fog Of Loneliness" is heard on record for the first time here, and "Dance Dance Dance" turned out to be an early version of "Love Is A Rose". In all, Massey Hall is a great record, well with the 34 year wait.
This is the second in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series. Thanks for sharing, Neil! [First added to this chart: 05/13/2017]
Produced By TONY BROWN & LYLE LOVETT
1. If I Had a Boat
2. Give Back My Heart
3. I Loved You Yesterday
4. Walk Through The Bottomland
5. L.A. County
6. She's No Lady
7. M-O-N-E-Y
8. Black And Blue
9. Simple Song
10. Pontiac
11. She's Hot To Go
How does a guy who looks more like Eraserhead than Buck Owens fare with the country music community? Not very well. But Lyle Lovett has strong enough material and enough talent to overcome even that. Pontiac is his 2nd album, and while it almost completely seperated him from Nashville, it was too good to be ignored. Mixing elements of country, jazz, and some kind of interplanetary swing music with a razor sharp sense of humor, Lovett swings though "Give Back My Heart" and "She's Hot To Go", get's deep on "Black And Blue", and sounds terrific on everything else.
Most of Lovett's catalog is great, but this is a great place to start. This is the one that will really get you hooked. This is how country music should sound...not like another stupid Ford commercial. [First added to this chart: 05/30/2016]

Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 86.3/100, a mean average of 84.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.6.

Very nice extra chart. Expands your musical tastes and the notes are good. Good to see Led Zep and good to see the Semisonic album too.
A ranking of 100 better albums is very complicated.
I don't know if a ranking of 1000 better albums is meaningful. I'm not sure.
But some good choices in this chart.
Difficult to judge withou talking the first 100 in account at the same, when the site in not really designed for it. Like the intent and like lots of the albums though.
you have 5 or 6 Led Zeppelin albums in first 40… I think some of them could've been in first 100… Back in Black, Sg. Pepper and Highway 69 too. But I appreciate your work, I mean best 1000 albums, great.
Tons of excellent albums.
Nice to see you made a great chart outside your top 100!
Wow This Chart Made Me Think About Waht Type Of Songs The Society Ignores.But They Are fu**ing Good Even Those Idiots Can't See Excellent Chart
We have very different tastes, but I admire your willingness to go beyond 100. Nice to see "Highway 61 Revisited" finally show up.
Very nice chart!
