I really didn't want this to be my favorite Bowie album. I wanted to be able to say that my favorite of his was something really unexpected and strange. Let me just say there is a reason this is everyone's favorite. It's undeniably brilliant.
Top Tracks: Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Ziggy Stardust [First added to this chart: 11/17/2014]

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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.9.

This is one of those charts that just gets more interesting the further you go. There are so many great and underappreciated album hidden in the back half of it! I also feel like this is one of the few charts that I would consider similar to mine. Even though we only have 21 albums in common, thats still kinda a lot, and I feel like our tastes in general are pretty similar. Nice work, keep going!

Really love this chart, so many picks I adore! If I were to make any criticism I'd just ask why such a neglect of the 60s and 90s? You've got a crazy high score so if you're just not too fond of those eras then don't worry but since you asked for recommendations here's a few underground favourites of mine from each that maybe you'll enjoy :)
The Red Krayola - The Parable Of Arable Land
Fishmans - Long Season
Bark Psychosis - Hex
Rodan - Rusty
Pretty neat though you definitely have a lot of music to discover from before 2000. :)

Nothing but praise. Love your taste to pieces.
Cool choices.
LedZep 02/12/2017 13:18
Pretty solid, maybe too much 00' records but that's ok. Love the descriptions!
Nice list!!

Your top ten is immaculately curated. To Pimp.. in the top ten? This guy. Love it. Lift Your Skinny Fists is so good too, gotta admit, a little ballsy putting an hour and a half long instrumental record in your top ten, but seriously, so good.
8/10 Homie, keep up the good listening.

To all the critics: Sufjan Stevens IS the greatest music artist of 21st century and honestly deserves to have at least 2-3 spots in everybody's greatest albums list.
Also, although this list is heavily 21st century oriented, we do have a pretty similar taste. Also, love the captions.
Please yes. Apparently I've already rated and commented on this chart. Congrats on Chart of the Day! A truly wonderful list.
