Greatest band ever with a great collection of songs. Still playing this album 46 years after I brought it on vinyl in 1968. Now that is what you call a great album. Why this album well you have George with while my guitar gently weeps, Paul rocking with Helter Skelter and John with Revolution, Dear Prudence and ....the list is to big to put on here

The best guitarist ever, the best debut album ever, saw Jimi live in 1970 and still love the guy in 2014. Now Jimi Hendrix really is a genius, changed rock guitar forever. It is not possible to imagine a world of music without him. Love you Jimi

Someone else who can be called genius. The complexity and beauty of Dylan's lyrics are a wonder of modern poetry. And this has for me personally the best song written by Dylan Masters of War still relevant today. Master songwriter.

Have just had the privilege of seeing Kate Bush live (Before The Dawn) and heard the Ninth Wave side two of this wonderful album. Have always loved this album now hearing most of it live I am of a mind to say the best female artist ever with her best album. Love you Ms Bush

Again I was lucky enough to see the best ever live band. Without doubt the 4 most talented rock musicians ever to be in one band. Why this album above others well because it has my personal favorite song one brilliant Gallows Pole.

As with Led Zeppelin seen live (saw the Wall live unbelievable)but I choose this Floyd album over others because I believe this to be the most complete beautiful and complex of all their albums.

Brought this album on vinyl and played it into turntable. Still listening to it now, what a voice and rightly called the Queen of Soul. 10 great songs all on one album.

The most underrated singer/songwriter on the planet. Painful, beautiful, sublime, sad and gorgeous. Songs of lost love, this album just breaks my heart. I seriously love this album. Songwriting at it's supreme best.

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 14% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.4/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.2.

Great choises and a promising start! I hope you fulfill the next 50 too! Then you get the last 5% missing here!
I think you have a great basis in the classic artists from the past, and is clever picking out the newer promising acts! Well done!

Dynamite! Love seeing Buddy Guy on there, although I must confess I have not heard that particular album. Going to put Tom McRae on my list of things to check out as well.

This is a very fun chart. I think I may love it even more when it gets to 100. Loved seeing the Boo Radleys on here and Dylan and Kate Bush so high. They are the bestest.
