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 84.2/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.8.

I expected your list to be full of "classical snobbery" (and, with all the Radiohead stuff, it kind of is), but there are still some extraordinary choices here that I would never expect from your name. Stankonia and Talking Heads among them.
Still, I think that you should maybe cut it down to 3 albums (at most) per artist. That'll help give it even more variety :)

I think this list would be much better if all the top ten were albums with obscenely sexual album art. Is This It being number 23 just won't do.
Hahaha, thanks for showing me this site, it's cool :)

I don't think both #1 and #2 should be the same artist. and do you really think the White Album is the best Beatles album?

at fist look it just seemed far too classics influenced but adding stuff like Stankonia is brilliant
