What can i say about this album!
After a lot of listening ,I am now pretty sure that this is the most 'Beautiful Mess' music I have ever listened to.
Mingus is just plain genius. [First added to this chart: 02/07/2014]

Start from some catchy tracks from the 1st disc to the experimental highlight in the 2nd disc.
This is one of the greatest record ever ,no doubt !!

Changed my perspective on 'Electronic' genre since then.For me How to Disappear is a highlight of the album and describes what "Beauty" really means.

One of the most beautiful album ever recorded in the history of MUSIC.Shine On You Crazy Diamond is maybe the most perfect 25 minutes for a song.

Almost Flawless but OK Computer 'A' side is absolutely the most perfect side for an album.

Coltrane and his music for 'GOD' so there's nothing much to be said about it.Right at the very start til the end is an "experienced"

The best Beatles album for sure.Start from cool drum grooves in Come together and end by greatest solo(of the band themselves) in The end (+Her Majesty).This record shows that Lennon and co. are the best rock song writers ever.

The most influential album by the great Beatles.
Only 'A Day In The Life' is enough to put it to the top 10

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.9/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

Great chart love the jazz albums. I agree the song Money is terrific on The Dark Side Of The Moon but doesn't really fit in with the rest of the album. Still a great album love it

Incredible chart! Really full of classics, in an interesting order that makes your chart very original. Also, with some albums that are not so common in the top ten, like Tago Mago, and The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady, you made an almost perfect one, with an incredible variety of kinds of music. The fact that you included several artists from and differents countries, not so common, makes your chart unique and attractive, besides having famous artists who are great, as Radiohead and Pink Floyd. Furthermore, I feel a certain predominance of progressive rock in the chart, because of records like Wish You Where Here, In The Court Of The Crimson King, Hot Rats, among others. Really great the Getz/Gilberto album, it shows your appreciation for music from other parts of world. Overall, really great chart, an almost perfect one!

Brilliant Chart.
I feel I have to rate 100, if you expand to 100 with the same quality.

A lot of really artistic picks. The addition of artists like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin makes the chart more rough, what I like. Keep the albums coming.
