Top 98 Greatest Music Albums
by pawelzietek Unknown

This is my chart. With emphasis on MY. My chart. I didn't copy it from Rolling Stone magazine... I didn't take it from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die... You won't find Miles Davis here (not that I don't like him...), The Beatles (they are not THAT good) or Bob Dylan (as he said - his music is basically for teenage students having too much time)...

Here's MY chart: full of polish music, 00's bands and world/folk/roots sounds.

And do not ask me to listen american music, 70' bands and krautrock sounds. I already did it. Like it. A lot.

Rating metrics: Help 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 75.0/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.7.

yeah, i'd suggest sandwiching it inbetween the radiohead/thom yorke combo near the top to at least look like you have an appreciation of how melody and rhythm come together to form something remotely listenable..

przede wszystkim serdecznie witam panie Pawle i dziękuję za odwiedziny i miłe słowa. :D

cóż, na moją listę jak sam trafnie pan zauważył trafiły płyty dla mnie absolutnie najbardziej przełomowe jeśli chodzi o światowy przemysł fonograficzny. Miałem przez chwilę wątpliwości, czy zamieścić wspomnianą "Nowe Sytuacje" Republiki, "O!" Maaanamu czy "Cegłę" Dżemu - winyle moich dziecinnych lat, które ciągle na mojej półce stoją jako najświętsze relikwie. Jednakże postanowiłem ułożyć moją listę właśnie w formie "The Best of The Best of The Best" i wybrać kamienie milowe, które dla mnie stanowią absolutną Alfę i Omegę każdego szanującego się melomana. Oczywiście wiedziałem, że spotkam się również z takim zarzutem, iż ta lista jest zakurzona (tak jak wspomniał o tym pan cartoken) i dosyć oczywista, jednakże układając ją pojawiły się pewne osobiste naleciałości. Też uwielbiam muzykę Mars Volta i Joy Division, nad którymi ubolewałem, że nie mogłem wsadzić na swoją listę, bo 50 miejsc nie wystarczyło. Tak samo Leszka Możdżera, który reprezentuje światowy poziom już od wielu lat. Natomiast jeśli chodzi o świeżość pozycji, to jest mi przykro, że nie umieściłem "Is this is it" The Strookes, czy "Back to Black" Amy Winehouse, które również absolutnie zasługują na wyróżnienie.

już całkowicie syntezując moją wypowiedź starałem się aby faktycznie lista ta składała się z absolutnie najlepszych (nawet aby pojawiło się "Nevermind" Nirvany, której nie cierpię).

a co do tego aspektu sugestii innymi listami to trafił pan w samo sedno. :] Pasjonuję się przeglądaniem takowych zbiorów aby potem je szczegółowo analizować i ewentualnie poznawać artystów całkowicie mi wcześniej nie znanych.

jeszcze raz dzięki :D

absolutna zgoda, zabrakło wielu perełek (jak chociażby "Na Dworze Karmazynowego Króla" King Crimson, albo "Joe's Garage" Franka Zappy) i wrócę do tego co wcześniej powiedziałem 50 pozycji to zdecydowanie za mało, aby zmieścić wszystko co bym chciał (min. Pearl Jam, Buddy Holly, Benny Goodman, This Will Destroy You, czy nasz rodzimy VADER) dlatego proszę zrozumieć, że faktycznie ta lista jest bardzo podobna do innych, bo w głównej mierze wziąłem pod uwagę tylko i wyłącznie aspekt kształtowania naszej muzycznej świadomości po dzień dzisiejszy przez te płyty. Spokojnie, mam w planie stworzyć drugą, już całkowicie własną listę :D Obiecuję, że wtedy zgłoszę się po ocenę. Pozdrawiam z zatopionej Nowej Huty.

i agree about the fact that 99% of the best albums aren't mainly US and secondarily UK. in my top 100, 55% is US and 28% is UK, which makes 83%...which is, i have to admit, a pretty big share. but we have to admit the importance of these both countries (mainly the USA) in the pop music. the language barrier remains very important, i'm quite sure that there is some good stuff in Poland (the Chopin's country !)but if it's in Polish...it's gonna be hard to swallow !

I'm not denying that radiohead, mars volta are extremely good and definitely deserve a lot of credit. it's just that I don't think there are that many albums in the last 5 years or so that can stand up to stuff like Blonde on Blonde, Unknown Pleasures, London Calling, etc. Again, not denying that there are some excellent records that have come out recently (In Rainbows by Radiohead, Funeral by Arcade Fire, Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective, Dear Science by TV on the Radio...)
