Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by Welshlass 
This chart was done in May of 2009. Albums that were later released this year (and were good enough to be in my chart) do not appear (I've edited in The Resistance, but I'll update it at the end of the year).
Older albums that I loved AFTER May 2009 also don't appear, but may be included at a later update.

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 76.8/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 23.2.

Captain_Dude is right: Nice list. Way too heavy in the 2000s, though.
