Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by henrygreen0203 (2021) 
In which I sample an album from each decade when my favorite artists were actively releasing music. How I fit it into 100 spaces I'll never know!
Check out my chart honoring the many folk singer/songwriters that hail from Texas.

For context, I am a US white college-educated male born in 1990.
I enjoy clever/funny lyrics.
I hope you enjoy my eclectic picks and discover something new!

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 11% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.6/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.6.

Excellent chart

Great chart! There's lots of albums that I have to check from your chart, and isn't that the goal of sharing our taste?

Certainly quite an original chart. Nice stuff.

Good chart idea! Even though I am personally not that into americana, some solid albums can be found here.

Great taste you got

Very interesting!
This is awesome, there are so many surprising selections here that I too love. That top ten is so cool. Uncle Tupelo, Drive By Truckers and the Avetts? Wow.

Lots of my favourites here! Flower Boy deserves a top spot.

I love charts like this. They're way more interesting.

Wow. Such an unique chart! Loved Tyler the Creator and the new Sampha albums. I'm surprised to see them so high in an all time chart, but I'm not complaining either. :)
