Top 15 Greatest Music Albums
by wildhoneypie 
I'm litening to my entire iPod over the next week or two, so this will probably change...a lot...
Recommendations are very welcome, I'm listening to mostly experimental music at the moment.

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 83.6/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.2.

I'll rate you a 95 because a lot of your albums appear on my chart as well. Also I want to even out NowhereMan's bad rating since he rated me poorly too. I am just now listening to more sigur ros so it might be on my chart soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

NoWhereMan: Ah yes, its probably not too long cos I decided to listen to some more music instead of continuing the list :) Also, I know who you are matt, and you aint listened to Loveless, Doolittle, Strangeways, Aegitus Bjyrun or Funeral. Thats half my list there, so technically you just gave me a rating of 110. Thanks pal :)
