Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by BoDu4ka 
This chart is not exactly list of the greatest albums IMO, rather the albums I'd like to listen again when I don't know what exactly I want to listen to. For example I don't think that Three Dollar Bill is greater than Are You Experienced.

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 78.8/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.0.

Great list. Talking Heads is the highlight for me.
Neat stuff.

Some great stuff mixed with some absolutely horrid choices. Overall...you're alright by me, man.
I also want a russian code! And what's an album #3?

First addition of "The Eternal" by Sonic Youth to a chart. Thanks!
