Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by bigbird 
This is hard!
My chart is a major work in progress at the moment. Just reeling off whatever comes to my head so it is by no means in order.....or in fact my greatest albums of all time. Just picking one album from each of my favourite artists and whatever ive been listening to recently that I like. Eventually it will take shape!
Note: I have added a few that weren't on the site yet that will probably be moved once I can make more charts.....AND....I also lost my way with one album per artist rule

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 84.9/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

Very personal chart. Nice to see Porcupine Tree and Riverside so high, though the album choice for the latter is strange. Two good surprises with "Little Hell" and "Seldom Seen Kid". Some comments would be great.

Cool chart a lot of rock and progressive
We have some albums in commons but our taste it is for rock metal progressive and indie

Your Chart with a metal/progrock focus looks pretty interesting.
I cannot rate yet, there are too many contemporary albums that I don`t know.

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 :(
