ROUND 7… 6’s 06… Muse - Black Holes & Revelations (2006)… Some good stuff on here but ultimately not to my taste… 4* 05… Jeff Rosenstock - Worry (2016)… 2016 was a year I struggled with and found hard to populate with anything that I actually liked… This is a good album though!… 4.25* 04… Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)… 4.5*… The kindest thing I can say is that this deserves it mantle as one of the best albums of 1966, if not all time… I think it’s good and I like everything on it, at least to some extent, it even contains one of my favourite songs of all time, it is an obvious choice but ‘God Only Knows’ is simply stunning… I always liked the Beach Boys but I really have to be in the mood for them… 03… The Divine Comedy - Casanova (1996) ... 4.75*… Nothing to add to your summary… 02… David Bowie - Station To Station (1976)… A class album and one of Bowies best … 4.75* 01… XTC - Skylarking (1986)… Hands down my pick for XTC’s best but the race for second is strong… 5* From my first placings… 06… David Bowie - Black Star (2016)… 4.25*… Despite liking the JR album just as much, this still remains my pick but to be honest, this is in my opinion a bad year, at least for me… None of the albums on my 2016 list would see much air time… At just past the halfway point in this exercise it is no surprise that the most recent decade is the least interesting for me… 05… Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out Of This Country (2006)… My favourite album by them… 4.5* 04… The Divine Comedy - Casanova (1996)... I think I put this 2nd on your deep dive… 4.75* 03… ELO - A New World Record… (1976)… Not even close, love this album… 4.75* 02… XTC - Skylarking (1986)… One of my all timers and a very easy winner for 1986… 5*… 01… The Beatles - Revolver (1966)… My favourite album growing up, my favourite of ’66 but occasionally swaps with ‘The White Album’ as my favourite Beatles release of all time… 5* R7… 60’s… 6pts, 80s… 5pts, 70’s… 4pts. 90s… 3pts, 00s… 2pts, , 10s… 1pt, … AFTER R6… 80’s … 30pts, 90’s … 28pts, 70’s… 27pts, 00’s… 19pts, 60’s… 14pts, 10’s… 8pts … RUNNING TOTAL 1st 80’s… 35pts, 2nd 90’s… 31pts, 2nd 70’s… 31pts 4th 00’s… 21pts, 5th 60’s… 20pts, 6th 10’s… 9pts …
Hello Chuchu: i watch a lot of your ranking videos but haven't commented for whatever reason. Your vids are very high quality and i am usually in general agreement with your rankings. I like this series (tournament) and really wish I caught it from the start. I will try to play along when you post the next videos in this series. I think you should get credit for re-assessing Blackstar - - I am a huge Bowie fan and it's not even in my top 10 album list for 2016. Okay, Chuchu, talk to you later and keep up the great work! 😎

@@NaughtyVampire-zf8pd Looking forward to seeing your take on things!
Some great choices here. Will you be doing a Muse list at some stage?
@@amugsgame9936 Hopefully! I have many things to say about Muse, both good and bad. 🤔
@@tokyochuchu haha I feel the same! I will say though that I find the album the second law to be really underrated! A top 3 album for me.
