Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
ledemoncleaner 
I usually try to think I have rather eclectic taste (compared to many people I know who rarely dabble out of their comfort zones of music). It seems not too long ago that'd I'd bash genres that aren't classic rock, but as I matured my taste, I feel, matured. I'm not the most eclectic guy on the earth, but I'd argue I'm better than most the crowd. Alas, enough rambling. Here are some of my FAVORITE (not best) albums.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm limiting myself to 1 album per artist (there'd be a lot of Radiohead, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Beck, Beatles, and Queens of the Stone Age if that were the case). I feel like I'd show of my musical taste better this way.
UPDATE: Hey, checking in around 6/7/17. I feel like my taste has changed enough for a bit of a make over of this list. I still enjoy the majority of my 2016 list, but there's a few new favorites that I feel like I need to include on this list. Peace and thanks for all of the positive feedback over the past few years.
Update 04/2018: Thanks for the chart of the day. I use RYM now folks so here's my profile and new album list: https://rateyourmusic.com/~thedemoncleaner and https://rateyourmusic.com/list/thedemoncleaner/my-135-favorite-albums-in-no-real-order/

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.6/100, a mean average of 92.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

A Highlight of the site
Granted, I don't spend that much time around here, but this is one of the best charts I've seen. Love the hip hop albums, and I really appreciate the comments. I love seeing why people love the same albums as me but for slightly (or drastically) different reasons.

Lot of good stuff to check out here

I'm thinking about redoing my chart after seeing this. Solid effort, and 1 per artist works so well
Davy 04/10/2017 17:09
Did I give you a 100 yet? No? lemme give you a 100, boy. You deserve it
John Lennon is the best solo Beatles album (and this is coming from a huge McCartney fan) and, although I always try and find another favorite Zappa album, I keep coming back to Apstrophe.
Remember "don't eat the yellow snow!"
Great to see these on another chart

Good chart. 24 albums in common. This deserves 100. Great taste in music, good interesting notes, some really good albums. I( don't adhere to the 1 album per artist rule myself but the good thing is through it you present a broad range of artists). You are clearly enthusiastic about your music. Great chart of the day.
Good music! I like your chart

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
