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,
Don't take this chart that seriously! I just play with it sometimes, if you're interested in my real ratings please visit my rym profile:

Hell that's the greatest album ever. Such a harmony in such an experimental way! And the impact it had on indie move.

I swap places on my favorite Beatles record every now and then. But for now I'd like to go with their 66 masterpiece.

Surfer Rosa is a perfect album too, but Doolittle is even better than that. More variety and ambition.

Most of Pink Floyd fans insist on Dark Side being their best, but I'll stick to this one for the sake being the most melancholic

I don't think if they would have survived longer, they would be this good, since they didn't know what they were doing:D

For some time I disliked Nirvana because of their acts and impact, but the music is great, so let's forget our grudges!

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.

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.

Everything's fine here,though i think your list can take the advantage of a good arrangment.moreover don't limit yourself unnecessarily to one album per band,there are bands of different levels,so some deserve more than one choice.
