m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 65.4/100, a mean average of 46.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 46.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 32.5.

I think this is a pretty decent list. Some of it is really disparate genre-wise (like Pantera and Faith Hill), which means some picks don't sit well together, making it seem a little strange. However, I think an enjoyment of wildly different genres is essential to a good appreciation of music, and while I wouldn't pick some of these albums myself, I'm certainly not against someone else doing so (that's why this site exists in my opinion!).
I think this is a really solid chart. (Although it looks like a lot of people have passionate disdain for it; sorry about that, man.) A lot of Radiohead and Velvet Underground is definitely respectable, and I think Rufus Wainwright is way cool, so, overall, good job.
Seriously? Nightwish in your top 10? you are not worthy of this site!!
Rufus Wainwright is an abomination to this chart!
poor you... you get a 5
