Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by Woozz

After a few years (lol), it's finally a bit more stable.

So difficult. I used to think that 100 was too much, now I think it's nearly impossible. I mean the last one is in my top 5 favorite Hip Hop albums of all time!

Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.2/100, a mean average of 92.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.6.

Very awesome chart you've got here. Loads of IDM, Krautrock, and post-rock. Love it!

This will definitely worth a closer look. Lots of Autechre in here, which I have barely not listened to at all, which is remarkable. Thanks for sharing!

Very, very interesting list. I absolutely love your top choice, Boards of Canada are so under-appreciated.

Very ambitious and interesting Chart.
I´m missing some heart and soul.
I cannot listen too long to acts like Autechre or The Prodigy..
Same as revolver94 I´m missing some electronic acts of the 70/80`s.
Thanks for uploading a lot of (on BEA)unique albums...someday I´ll give them a listen.
