Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by amin67

there is only one album from each band, you know 50 is a very small number, it was a disaster for legendery bands who had many good albums,

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 83.4/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.8.

I can't argue with the quality of the picks, but the list feels a little to eager to please, I want to be surprised by something. I still had some fun looking through though, so you get a good score anyway.

Thanks for your comment.
If by "pretentious" you mean why there's no trace of Coldplay, Muse, The Killers, Blur and Oasis on my chart, well, I don't think these bands are really great, they are some sort of advanced beatmakerss, their attitude is more like mainstream show-biz idols, more or less they do the same thing in order to satisfy their huge fanbase. Maybe the music itself is great, but the idea and style isn't expandable.
I visited your chart, though I don't Pabloalto, Starsailor and Metric, but the rest is familiar. It was nice to see Against Me! In your chart.

I just saw your 2010's list and man! you've listen to so many album and as far as I am familiar with them, they are significant picks. Loved to see Deerhunter, Local Native, Spoon or Antony and the Johnsons. Although I can't find the point that why 'Lisbon' is on such a low rate. I would consider it on my top 5. By the way it is just the matter of tast in the view of your interesting and diverse collection.
