1975-REPRISE
Produced By KEITH OLSEN
1. Monday Morning
2. Warm Ways
3. Blue Letter
4. Rhiannon
5. Over My Head
6. Crystal
7. Say You Love Me
8. Landslide
9. World Turning
10. Sugar Daddy
11. I’m So Afraid
12. Jam #2

15. Over My Head (Single Version)
16. Blue Letter (Single Version)
Rumours is always cited as the crowning achievement of Fleetwood Mac, but I have a different opinion. Two years prior to Rumours, the Mac was almost over. Coming off of what was probably their worst album (Heroes Are Hard To Find) and reeling from the departure of guitarist Bob Welch, they stumbled upon the unknown duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who had one so-so album under their belts. This album propelled them to the top and set the stage for the massive success of Rumours. But don’t kid yourself that this effort was any less great. It’s always lived in the shadow of Rumours, but the reality is that it’s just as good. I might even be a bit better. This set of songs is a band discovering that they had (at least for a couple of albums) the ability to create real magic together. The addition of Buckingham and Nicks lifted Christine McVie to another level as well, and the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie found new life with the suddenly improved songwriting. And while Rumours was recorded amid turmoil, Fleetwood Mac was made more in celebration.
“Monday Morning” is a powerhouse opener. After that, the hits start rolling in, mostly from McVie and Nicks…and even a cover (“Blue Letter”). “Rhiannon” solidified Nicks as a mystical character, and the one holdover from Buckingham Nicks (“Crystal”) was sung by Buckingham but written by Nicks. McVie’s “Say You Love Me” is augmented by Buckingham’s nice banjo work, and “Over My Head” contains some of Lindsey’s greatest and magical guitar work. “Landslide” is one of Nicks’ prettiest songs. And then Buckingham, who really carries it all, takes over at the end. “World Turning” is maybe the best Mac song ever, and his “I’m So Afraid” may be their most underrated tune. Fleetwood Mac is a rare album with zero filler and exceptional work from everyone involved…each member shines in their newfound good fortune. Rumours sold a gazillion more units, and had the bigger hits. But, song for song, Fleetwood Mac (or The White Album, as it was called) is just as good, just as strong, and just as worthy of celebration and praise. [First added to this chart: 10/20/2020]

1979-EPIC
Produced By GUY STEVENS
1. London Calling
2. Brand New Cadillac
3. Jimmy Jazz
4. Hateful
5. Rudie Can't Fail
6. Spanish Bombs
7. The Right Profile
8. Lost In The Supermarket
9. Clampdown
10. The Guns Of Brixton
11. Wrong 'Em Boyo
12. Death Or Glory
13. Koka Kola
14. The Card Cheat
15. Lover's Rock
16. Four Horsemen
17. I'm Not Down
18. Revolution Rock
19. Train In Vain
The Clash were one of the leading lights of punk, thanks to their self titled debut album. What they had on the others (The Sex Pistols, The Ramones) was a keen political sense. And, it turned out, much more talent than their contemporaries. London Calling is a masterpiece. Diving head first into not only punk, but reggae, rock, and blues, The Clash makes this set of exceptional songs an album that still sounds great today, and that earned them (for a short time) the label of the Best Rock Band In The World. Punk would never be the same, as The Clash expanded the sound and made smart music. The title track remains a hit today, as does "Train In Vain"...a song the band disliked enough to not list on the album credits.
After this, the decline was slow, but they never reached this height again. But London Calling is their masterwork, a true classic album, and maybe the best punk album of all time. [First added to this chart: 11/20/2012]

1970-WARNER BROTHERS
Produced By GRATEFUL DEAD
1. Box Of Rain
2. Friend Of The Devil
3. Sugar Magnolia
4. Operator
5. Candyman
6. Ripple
7. Brokedown Palace
8. Till The Morning Comes
9. Attics Of My Life
10. Truckin'
The Grateful Dead may be know for their live shows and their place at the top of the list of jam bands, but what a lot of people don't realize is that in 1970, The Dead made two really great albums: Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. With nothing over 5 and a half minutes, this is all about the songs that made them a captivating live act. Taking an obvious clue from The Band, the songs are down to earth and loaded with great harmonies. Every track here is exceptional. The Dead proved that they were excellent writers and could make a studio album as good as anyone else could do. Not a single weak track, not a single weak moment. This is as good as you'll ever hear The Dead.
They never matched their 1970 output. But the two albums from that year should be a part of every collection, even if you're not a fan of their live shows. It's simply great music. [First added to this chart: 05/24/2013]

1979-REPRISE
Produced By NEIL YOUNG, DAVID BRIGGS & TIM MULLIGAN
1. My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
2. Thrasher
3. Ride My Llama
4. Pocahontas
5. Sail Away
6. Powderfinger
7. Welfare Mothers
8. Sedan Delivery
9. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)
This is a strange album, even for Neil Young. Recorded mostly live in San Francisco, the audience noise was removed and overdubs were added. Two songs are not live..."Sail Away" was a leftover from the Comes A Time album, and "Pocahontas" had been recorded 4 years earlier. The album is half acoustic and half full Crazy Horse rock. The two studio tracks are excellent, bolstered by the vocals of Nicolette Larson. The version of "Powderfinger" is great, and Crazy Horse is in full smoldering form. Another classic from Neil, a must have.
A film was released along with the album, and later in the year, Live Rust, a concert album from the tour came out. Nobody rules quite like Neil Young, and this is just another great reason why. [First added to this chart: 12/18/2012]

1977 – RSO
Produced By GLYN JOHNS
1. Cocaine
2. Wonderful Tonight
3. Lay Down Sally
4. Next Time You See Her
5. We’re All The Way
6. The Core
7. May You Never
8. Mean Old Frisco
9. Peaches And Diesel
Before he settled into his solo career in the early seventies, Eric Clapton earned his reputation as one of rock’s elite guitarists in bands like The Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, Cream, and Derek And The Dominos. After that, he discovered the work of J.J. Cale, and became a somewhat mellow singer songwriter guy who could still play a mean six string. And his recorded output throughout his long solo years has been, to put it nicely, sporadic. With a couple of notable exceptions. 461 Ocean Boulevard is well worth having, and a couple of others are steady enough to hold up. But maybe the best album of his career is 1977’s Slowhand.
This may be because Slowhand is simply the best set of songs Clapton has released. Cale’s “Cocaine” is here, along with “Wonderful Tonight” and “Lay Down Sally”, two of Clapton’s most memorable songs. “Next Time You See Her” is fine but a little weird, and both “The Core” and “Mean Old Frisco” contain enough fine guitar work to keep his 60’s fans happy. But this album, as with much of the rest of his 70’s and beyond career, is more about Clapton the singer than it is about his fretwork. Which is fine…it’s just the lesser of his two instruments. Other Clapton solo albums have come close, but this is his most consistent work. If you have to have just one, this would be it. [First added to this chart: 05/12/2015]

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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

I enjoyed looking through this chart -- discovering a few bands I've missed along the way. Nice to see 5 Aussie/NZ artists listed (this includes Crowded House, of course). I even found about 5 of my top 100 in your top 201-300 - which I think is so cool.
