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 14% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 88.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.9.

I already left a rating around a year and a half ago but since this is chart of the day I'll leave a comment too.

Brilliant chart, with great diversity of genre and inclusion of non-English speaking countries (no doubt helped by your own nationality).

Given the creativity of charts like your 'Strange Girls' I suppose I expected nothing less - add some notes as to why these are your favourites of the 80s and I'd happily raise my score to a perfect rating!!

Listening to that album of Tom Waits, I can understand this can be someone's all-time favorite. It's raw, weird and conceptual. Sadly, I'm not that someone, but I can enjoy the fact you are. I can see you've put a lot of personality in this chart, maybe a bit more variation in genres might make it better. But then again, I don't know half of these albums.

Love seeing Remain in Light so high! Seventeen seconds is definitely an underrated record as well.

the few albums we have in common, I like a lot (New York, Discipline in particular)
'I Advance Masked' was a nice choice. 'Bewitched" would have been a good one also

I have a problem with Tom Waits and Police. Apart from this, excellent. I know it is silly to rate the quality of a chart by the number of albums "in common" but it always warms my heart to see Kevin Coyne appreciated.

Excellent eighties chart! Remain in Light and Rain Dogs are such fantastic albums. Enjoy some of the selections that didn't make my chart too, such as Seventeen Seconds.

14 matches to my 80s list! And some were unique and surprising like Ambitious Lovers and Fela's Black President.
