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]

Yep. This is, indeed Sean Penn's little brother. And yes, the magic dust that seemed to bless the Penn children did not skip Michael. March is a strong debut album that came from nowhere to give us one of the more pleasant hit singles of 1989, the jangly acoustic "No Myth". What if I WAS Romeo in black jeans? But this wasn't just a one hit and a bunch of filler. March is actually a really good record.
The first 4 tracks are as strong a beginning of an album as you'll find. Catchy, melodic, and not a speck of cheese anywhere near it. "Brave New World" might be the catchiest song of the 80's that isn't buried in aquanet or new wave. And "Half Harvest", "This & That", and the awesome "Cupid's Got A Brand New Gun" are all just as good. (The last one, "Cupid", was actually partially recorded for my album...I almost covered it.)
March is not perfect...but it is really good. Definitely worth more than a spin, because this one does grow on you. [First added to this chart: 03/13/2024]

When Bob Seger broke into the mainstream in 1976 with Live Bullet and Night Moves, America had its next rock and roll hero. Four years later, Seger’s career was showing definite signs of strain, overwork, and an over reliance on the formula that made him a star. Against The Wind is Seger’s only number one album, and it boasts an impressive four hit singles. It also marks the beginning of Seger’s decline into the ordinary. Not that this is a bad album by any means…it’s not. But it’s a very safe album from a guy who should have been expanding his sound, not collapsing into it. Turns out that with Against The Wind, Seger showed us all that he really was a one trick pony, and that everything he would do would be pretty interchangeable. He also showed us that he when it come to that one trick, he is very, very good at performing it.
Simply put, Against The Wind is an extension of the album Strangers In Town (from 1978), which is an extension of Night Moves from 1976. Any of the songs from any of these albums could be switched around with pretty much the same results, as if Seger had stopped writing years before and was just releasing old material. Each album has its merits, and with Against The Wind, he actually does rely more on ballads than at any time in his career. “Against The Wind”, “You’ll Accompany Me” and “Fire Lake” match the rolling piano balladry of “Night Moves”, “Mainstreet”, and “Still The Same”. The rockers, particularly “Horizontal Bop” and “Her Strut”, would fit well on either of the two previous albums. There’s enough filler here to keep the album from rising too far above average, and there’s one true clunker. “Long Twin Silver Line” may be the worst song in Seger’s catalog. If you’re a fan, this album will fit in just fine. Just don’t expect anything you’d never heard from Seger before. [First added to this chart: 08/09/2024]

A band that should have been big, especially with this album, but never were. The Afghan Whigs were always a bit too alternative to really catch on...which meant that they made some really great music that not a lot of people heard. Shame. Gentlemen, their best album, is an awesome rock document. "Debonair", "Be Sweet", "What Jail Is Like"...along with almost everything else makes this one of the 90's coolest albums.
The Whigs never matched the strange and catchy power of Gentlemen, but they released several more pretty good albums. This is the one to start with, and the one you will always come back to. [First added to this chart: 10/08/2024]

Joe Cocker has always been more of a cover artist than anything else, so he’s always at the mercy of those around him who select material for him. As a result, we’ve had to endure things like “Up Where We Belong” , and decades of bad to worse albums. But in the beginning, Cocker had people like Denny Cordell and Leon Russell on his side…and a huge sense of adventure that allowed him to take on the biggest of songs. On this live album, Cocker tackles The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Traffic, Bob Dylan and more, and it’s easy to see why he was such a hit at Woodstock.
Cocker has a lot to deal with here, however. The band is massive (three drummers and a full choir), which gives him a lot to have to pay attention to. His vocals don’t suffer, but the songs sometimes do. Having a terrified sounding Rita Coolidge sing Russell’s classic “Superstar” is a low point. But, as has always been the case with Cocker, the better the song, the better the performance. This is worth having…although if you’re a true fan you can get later and more expansive versions, including a six disc monstrosity of the entire two day run at the Filmore East.

Ryan Bingham may be a young man, but his voice and his songwriting suggest that he’s been down some of the same roads as Tom Waits. After having made a name for himself in Texas for years with his band The Dead Horses, Bingham was signed to Lost Highway records, who surprisingly paired him up with producer Marc Ford, best known as the one time lead guitarist for The Black Crowes. His first major label album, Mescalito, shows Bingham as an already seasoned veteran, and it’s a winner. Although his vocal style may be limiting at times, Bingham makes the most of what he has, and conveys all of the emotion necessary for great Americana / alt-country storytelling. But what Bingham has the most of are songs. Mescalito is filled to the brim with fine tales, given extra drama by Bingham’s own voice and some fine playing, led by none other than Ford himself, who adds a lot to the album.
The opener, “Southside Of Heaven”, is a rolling country slice of perfection about life on the road, and still stands as one of Bingham’s finest moments. Other highlights include “Don’t Wait For Me”, “Bread And Water” (Ford plays a scorching slide riff on this one), and the rollicking “Ghost Of Travelin’ Jones”, but nearly every track is a refreshing slice of Americana. Bingham sometimes brings to mind Steve Earle or Bruce Springsteen, or a combination of both, which is no small feat. Mescalito has moments of country beauty (“the outro of “Southside Of Heaven” is all mandolins and banjo and back porch joy), moments where it rocks just enough (“The Other Side”), and even a bit of mariachi (“Boracho Station”) In all, Mescalito is the perfect place to start a country journey that avoids the pop disasters of current Nashville music. And it’s the perfect place to start a journey through the discography of Bingham, one of the brightest lights in country today. [First added to this chart: 06/06/2024]

Out of the wasteland of dying classic rock, hair metal, dance pop and synthesizer driven music of the 1980’s came this Tufts University protest singer and her acoustic guitar. Turned down by numerous producers because she wasn’t any of the above, Tracy Chapman was finally hooked up with David Kershenbaum, who was brave enough to let her be who she was in a musical landscape that did not support what she was doing at all. The result is one of the most striking debut albums ever made, and a shining beacon during one of music’s most dismal times. Tracy Chapman had something to say, and she said it well. Compared frequently and accurately to Joan Armatrading, Chapman’s debut album is a thing of beauty. Even though it does contain a couple of clunkers, as a whole it’s nearly perfect. The song that made the world take notice of Chapman was “Fast Car”, a beautifully told story of a life struggle within the boundaries of poverty and alcoholism. “Fast Car” was the unlikeliest of huge hits, and still stands as one of the best songs of the decade.
“Talkin’ Bout A Revolution” is a protest anthem that would have been perfect in the late 1960’s. “For My Lover” may be her most beautiful song, while “Behind The Wall” is a brave a cappella picture of inner city life. Also of note are “She’s Got Her Ticket”, which brings reggae into the mix, and “Across The Lines”. The album is almost as good as, and draws comparisons to, Armatrading’s self titled debut album. Her career has continued on, with not surprisingly less success (after all, this isn’t the kind of stuff that consistently sells a lot of units), and she’s never quite matched the magic of her debut, but this album should still be a must have. It’s so much more than just “Fast Car”, which is all that it’s remembered for today. It’s proof that, once in a while, beautiful music can come from nowhere. She’s more of an artist than a hitmaker, and more of a storyteller than a star. It’s hard too not appreciate Chapman for any of that. [First added to this chart: 05/28/2019]

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!
