Hello. I've been using this site quite a bit recently. I never really seriously listened to music until the past year.

I changed the way I rated the albums about half of the way through listening to these albums, so I need to relisten to quite a few of the albums, especially the ones not in the top 100 on this site. So, any suggestions based off of this list?

Welcome to AMF!
Looking at your list, I noticed that one of the 5's was "Nevermind" by Nirvana. You should definitely check out their album "In Utero".
I also noticed you rated two Stevie Wonder albums well. I would recomend his "Talking Book" album.
If you want some other suggestions, check out the moderately acclaimed albums thread. It has a lot of great, underrated stuff.
I would also relisten to the albums three or four times before writting it off.

It's cool that Sound of Silver was the album that changed the way you listened to music. For me it was probably It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or Pet Sounds. LCD is actually a good group to get started with because their music references so many other great artists, either sonically or literally (the end of "Losing My Edge").

Definitely check out Brian Eno and Roxy Music's first few albums. I would also recommend Primal Scream's XTRMNTR, which I prefer to Screamadelica.

It looks like you got a good start with these albums; I hope you stick around the forums.

Welcome to the forums! A lot of the ones you put near the top are great albums. It's also neat that you're hearing the great newer stuff at the same time as the great older stuff, whereas most people either hear one or the other first.

Have you listened to Portishead - Third? I think you'd like it.

You should also hear Rain Dogs, and more of the post punk/new wave stuff from the late 70s and early 80s. Stuff like X, XTC, Pere Ubu, Wire, etc.

Wow, I am in a very similar situation to Chris. I too, have been using this website and forum for some time, but I realized that I haven't heard enough music to really participate in the polls. So, to expand my musical experience, I have been listening to the top 25s from each of the 2000s yearly polls and am now working on the AM top 100 albums (I probably won't stop there). I'm wondering if i should post a similar list to Chris's with my reordering of the top 50 or wait until i finish the top 100.

Off the top of my head, some excellent suggestions would be-

"Summerteeth" by Wilco
"Parklife" by Blur
"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel
"Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" by Pavement
"Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches" by Happy Mondays
"Maxinquaye" by Tricky
"Mezzanine" by Massive Attack

Also, "Sound of Silver" is a top 10 album of all time for me, so nice job!
