Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
bonafini 
Some observations on this chart:
Since the goal is to build a greatest albums chart, this list will only include music that was composed to be firstly released and/or mainly consumed in the form of an album in the album era, which is not a very easy thing to define by the end of the day. But that means, for example, no "classical" music and no compilations of the "best of" or "rare tracks" kind.
The chart contains only one album per artist for it to display a greater array of musicians and do some kind of overview of what is relevant to me in the history of album music. However, this is a best albums list, not a best artists list: people that I would most definitely include in such a list, like Otis Redding, Kraftwerk or Patti Smith, are not present because I consider none of their albums to be as strong as any of these here.

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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

It's amazing how a chart as incredible as this can creep on you out of nowhere. The choices, the write-ups: I adore your taste and your love of music that is clearly evident from this chart, which may well be my favourite from any I've seen on this whole site...

A bit predictable with regards to the non South America picks.

excelente, amei! ve o que acha da minha? abraço
Nice chart, but the many Brasilian albums make it quite unknown to me. To discover!
Good taste. Nice chart.
Lastings 02/21/2017 16:08
Excellent Chart, as well as excellent and well thought out interpretations or the albums you've chosen.
