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 77.2/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.8.

A properly different chart to the usual conventions on this site. Love some of the choices. Plus, Kate Bush and The Smiths AND Prince all in the top 10...whew!
Hounds of Love truly is a gem. Glad it is your favourite within a long list of strong contenders! All the best to you, little light shining!

Great chart! Nice to see ABC!

Boxer is a great album!
No Beatles?
Awful. F-.

Sputnik's inclusion pushes my rating up to 90... Brilliant!

telefunker: "Mirage" may not be the best FM album ever, but it is my personal favorite. And that's basically what this list is about--- my 50 all-time favorite albums. "Mirage" was the first FM record I bought (thus, the sentimental value attached to it. Plus, the songs are very good if you give them half a chance!) while "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumours" were more my parents' albums.

I love Boxer too. It's a great album. Some of these 80's era albums though, especially in the higher number range, I gotta wonder about. I guess you just dig synthesizer more than I do.
Applerill 02/15/2010 06:52
You, sir JRS, are made of win. Mostly because of Tori, but still.
telefunker 02/15/2010 06:18
