*6 May 2014. "This charting is rotting"... Lately I always been having this thought. So I make some relevant changes here. Despite the endless agony of chose what is best than what, I think this chart is nearly up to date for nowadays.
Also reduced to 2 albums per artist.

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 89.0/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Thank you guys for all the comments here. It`s my chart of the day and I finally feel like a BEA adult lol.
Yes BraddlesHendo, Daydream Nation is a truly pearl for me. It instantly makes me feel like an angry explosive teenage again. It`s an album for living. I advice you to listen to it again after watch "1991 The Year Punk Broke"
Also seems like that Pompeii made some success here and we have to admit the guys had put so much spirit recording this one. It feels much more personal than some studio recorded songs like Echoes which I prefer this version here.
Finally I have to admit AGAIN that some choices here are actually outdated and others missing due the lack of time. Some albums like Filosofem and others splendid black metal records certainly will get into.

I loved the Film Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii was brilliant , interesting top 10 find Daydream Nation a little boring to listen to these days but it's a classic of that era

Cool chart. You have a lot of the obvious artists, but I'm glad to see you chose some less-than-conventional albums (Live at Pompeii, rather than the obvious ones like DOTM or WYWH, as well as Pornography). Would've given it a higher score with the exclusion of Back in Black, but hey, it's your opinion.

I am loving your chart. Healthy and diverse and unpersuaded by the atypical top picks.
I've also been on a huge Floyd kick lately, but have never watched Live at Pompeii...until now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
