Top 70 Greatest Music Albums by BassCadet 
this list isn't really in any order, but I will rate each album 1-10
1 - worst album of all-time
3 - I do not like it
4 - Below average
5 - mediocre (most music)
6 - good
7 - exceptional
8 - personal favorites
9 - among greatest of all-time
10 - best album of all-time
with all that said, you might see a lot of 8's and wonder why they're here - because they are an important piece of music experience I have had and continue to have in challenging my ways of music appreciation and listening.

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 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

A most unique chart indeed. Of those albums that I am familiar with, my own ratings would be 1-2/10 lower than yours. Of the other albums, I have a good sense of the genre, which is not where my musical tastes reside.
So I didn't find this chart very interesting beyond it's uniqueness.
I am not a fan of having compilations (4 in this case) in a greatest 100 (or 70, in this case) chart - even if one of them is the only entry of an Aussie artist.
Some nice obscure stuff here but can’t rate chart without it being in order but overall, I like the albums that you have chosen.
Schribes 01/15/2023 14:40
I am curious. How does someone expose themselves to so many obscure albums? This is coming from someone who is rather main stream. Great personal chart!
junodog4 02/04/2018 15:30
I think most BEA members would find this chart WAY too mainstream. Geez... don't you know that mass-market sales don't necessarily equate with brilliance?
J/K - what I know, I like. What I don't, I'll have to check out.
JulianR 10/12/2017 01:55
respectable choices, but it would be nice if it were in order :)
arthurbittencourt 07/31/2017 15:39
congrats man this deserves to be on top
LedZep 04/09/2017 11:15
Pretty obscure stuff, but everybody loves Neil Young. I'm missing descriptions for at least top 20 albums, otherwise it's good
ObsoleteEntity 12/22/2016 15:13
Well researched chart. I love having new stuff to hear! Thanks for that. I look forward to seeing what you add.
sssvnnn 10/09/2016 22:29
