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 85.6/100, a mean average of 84.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.0.

decent selection. Lots of classics
Repo 04/14/2017 06:39
All classics & impressive range. Love seeing Toxicity & Tapestry up there.
CA Dreamin 03/19/2017 22:34
How did I not see this list for so long? Really great stuff, dmercado. I love seeing both CCR and SOAD on the same list.
JoaoMoreira 11/08/2016 20:33
I was ready to gave it a 90 for its quality, but I suddendly faced My Chemical Romance & System of a Down. Why?

Classics, classics, classics, classics and more classics. I like that Grimes is in there. Maybe you'll find new music endeavours in time and include more "unique" choices as other users have mentioned. Nevertheless the classics are classics for a reason. Good stuff.
Loved seeing "Visions" make the cut. Wish there were a few more unique choices.
Lots to like in here, which is not too surprising as we have 21 in common

A decent list of classics.
We have so much in common!
