You can feel Flood, Eno and Lanois each time a string is plucked in "With or Without You".
Fuck, each time I update this album goes lower, and lower, and lower. At this rate when I have my "Ultimate 1000 Best Albums EVER" chart this will be around #781, with #780 being the Libertines self-titled.
Sorry guys, Daydream Nation is just better.
I still love U2. [First added to this chart: 03/21/2011]

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 86.5/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Muy bueno el chart, me gustaron mucho las descripciones, muy buenas y la mayoría originales. Pero como dijo Defago, no entiendo como no pones musica argentina!!! Con los terribles artistas que tenemos, como el flaco Spinetta y todas sus bandas, Charlie Garcia, Manal, Gustavo Cerati, etc. Es casi imposible que alguno de estos no este en tu top 50 siendo Argento!

It's fun to see your comments on the Sex Pistols. You think they're pricks but you still listen to them. That's punk for you. I really enjoyed reading through your chart keep adding more albums as soon as you can.
