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 is rated in the top 17% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.3/100, a mean average of 87.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Frank Zappa up there!

I like it because there are so much music from the 60s and 70s one of the best times for music. So i give you a high up for the choice.

Amazing list. I'll be checking this list a lot for material to listen to.
Great stuff. My kind of music.
High quality comments and some nice choices. You clearly know the classics. Maybe you can try and include some >2000 albums you also enjoy apart from Radiohead's?

Wonderful chart. Great comments up to #25. You speak of lack of recognition: the Captain falls into that category. He is certainly off-putting at first listen, but his genius comes out with additional listens. Agree or disagree?

Fabulous chart.
I really need to get into Zappa, I've only heard Hot Rats and I liked it. Psychedelic music I love and experimental is interesting.
Wish the notes had carried on but the ones that are there are great, Very enthusiastic. Love this.
Any chart with Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys in it is alright with me

I love the Chart.
I´m too young to have been part of the music scene in the end of the 60´s...but maybe that was the best time for good music.

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 :(
