I’ve added three more “best albums of all time” lists to the best albums meta-list. Thanks to Make Lists, Not War reader Keith Nutter for the update suggestions. As before, the meta-lists includes every album on at least three of the original source lists.
Here are the links to the updated lists:

Best Albums of All Time – Chronological
Best Albums of All Time – By Artist
In addition to rearranging the meta-list somewhat, the new lists added 35 new albums and 14 new artists. Here are the new-to-the-list artists:
- The Avalanches
- Beyoncé
- Dave Brubeck
- Daft Punk
- Fleet Foxes
- GZA
- Lorde
- Madvillain
- M.I.A.
- Mobb Deep
- Slowdive
- Solange
- Talk Talk
- Vampire Weekend
