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 83.2/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.1.

The chart deserves update. There are so many fantastic prog records that 21 is a shortlist of a shortlist. Your choices are brilliant, but many albums I personally love are missing. From Animals to the modern bands such as Porcupine Tree, Opeth etc.

Good lists of mainly good to amazing prog-rock. The Dark Side of the Moon and Selling England by the Pound are my 1&2 aswell. I'm not as big on Yes' Close to the Edge though. Argus looks pretty interesting. I should check it out sometime.
