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 84.5/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.3.

You have very good taste in music. 24 of 100 the same as my list, including many not in other people's like The Jam, Midnight Oil and Costello. You are more of a radiohead and Bob Dylan fan than I am, but it's a cool list.
MLou 10/21/2014 08:43
great! But not so variate..
PsychologistHD 02/16/2014 03:42
This hasn't been updated since 2006. Shame, 2007 was one of my favorites.

Nice list with a bunch of classics. Cool to see highly elvolved on your chart.
Antonio-Pedro 02/15/2014 09:15
Classics albums, new albums (some Predictable new albums, some not) liked the overall and the inclusion of "Setting Sons"
benpaco 08/16/2013 03:30
Hm ... not a fan of how much Dylan is near the top, but to see Skylarking on someone else's chart meant I automatically forgive that. Overall, pretty good!
SingingPeasant96 02/16/2013 01:08
Great!
btener11 02/15/2013 23:00
The first couple pages are just way to similar to the overall list for my liking, making me feel smothered in the Beatles and Radiohead. But right about when Get Happy!! (my favorite Costello album and in my top 25) shows up things take a very nice turn. Major props for the Church's Heyday, Ride and Pornography as well.

The Jam is the most interesting part of your top 10.
Cymro2011 02/15/2013 10:12
Too much Radiohead for my liking but overall great.
