Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by The_Captain Unknown

This chart is based off of albums that I currently own and have listened to extensively. Mostly old school stuff, with a tinge of the newer era of music. No country or jazz albums, as I'm not a huge fan of either.

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 83.4/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.8.
