Picking a best album of all time, at least for me, isn't easy. If I could, I'd give this number one spot to a lot of albums. The reason this one got the top spot, is for a very simple reason. Music that can evoke emotion is impressive, and I have yet to encounter an album that does so like Hospice. It would be an understatement to say that Peter Silberman's vocals, lyrics, and writing are impressive. While not for everyone, this was a breathtaking and emotional experience for me. Even months after listening to this for the first time, it still haunts me, and every time I listen to it I find something new. For those surprised that such a recent discovery would take the number one spot, I'm as surprised as you. Is it the best ever album? Probably not, but it's my personal favourite at the moment. It'll be interesting to see how long it holds this spot.

Oh boy, where do I even start. Pink Floyd is a band that means a lot to me, as I'm sure it does to a lot of people. Their ability to produce masterpieces is unprecedented, and I believe The Wall is the best example. Roger Waters really shows just what a great lyricist he is, by not just writing excellent lyrics, but also an excellent story. The compositions are gorgeous, the lyrics are haunting, and I get goosebumps every time. What else is there to say?

OK Computer came out just a couple months after I was born, and due to my dad being a huge Radiohead fan, I got to listen to it quite a bit growing up. There's no doubt in my mind that OK Computer is a masterpiece, but it never got to me like The Bends did. The Bends isn't without it's flaws, but it has it's moments, and I feel that those moments are brighter, more heartfelt even, than the moments on any of Radiohead's other work. It was hard picking a best Radiohead album (due to limiting one album per artist), but I have to go with this one. Also, Fake Plastic Trees has to be one of the best songs ever.

Demon Days has everything going for it, and in my honest opinion, fails in nothing. It's daring, imaginative, creative, and even though I've listened to it a countless number of times, it never ever gets boring.

What's there to say that hasn't already been said? King Crimson is one of prog rock's best bands, and In The Court Of The Crimson King is one of prog's best albums.

I've only been listening to this album for a couple months, but just, wow. The lyrics paint a beautiful picture that just adds to the wonderful and unique sound that these guys produce. Easily one of the most memorable music experiences, and it grows on me with every listen.

Electronic is a genre that is becoming ever so increasingly popular, and one that I personally am quite fond of. With that said, I think it's quite easy to get discouraged with the sea of electronic music producers and bands out there that produce music that you're too familiar with. Animal Collective comes along though and takes you on a journey through space, time, and the universe. I don't do drugs, but if I were to, I would definitely be listening to Strawberry Jam while doing so.

The Lips have tried a lot of different things in their career, some of which have worked, some of which not so much. In the case of The Soft Bulletin, I thought it was their most relaxing. As much as I love Clouds Taste Metallic, and Yoshimi, I often find myself giving into The Soft Bulletin.

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 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.6.

While some inclusions I've yet to see as great (maybe only 10), the sheer diversity and depth of your choices are fantastic. Great chart!

@baileyhawks1523 I never would've expected someone to rate my chart so highly, thanks! And yeah, I love all the Lips stuff (they're easily one of my favourite bands) including their older stuff. They have a pretty decent sized discography so I still have to get around to listening to a lot of it.

Really good chart. Also, although the later Flaming lips stuff is fantastic, their late 80's/early 90's stuff is some pretty fantastic alt. rock, give it another go.

I love how you put your description here in almost all of your albums. I feel like the same as me and it's great to see a personal thoughts of everything.
I can say we are similar, but I'm just a little bit older, hehehe. Also have an impression that I'll like what I'm going to listen in your chart... Hugs

Looking forward to see how this grows, assuming it is consistent with your passion on the forums I'm sure I'll find it interesting and my rating will grow.
