My definition of "mediocre" is more along the lines of "average" or in general being unexceptional and not offering anything new.

Under that IDK how you can call them mediocre. Especially Song Cycle.

Isn't it bizarre how 7 of the albums you picked are all on the general essentials.

Its amazing how limited your little world must be, unless wait, no you can't think the essentials contains the best music of the last 50 years.

Why it that all 12 of the Beatles albums were better than the other 7 on this chart?

Here's something shocking: I've actually listened to a lot more than these 8 albums. Woah! Mind blowing huh?
