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 76.1/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.3.

You stick faithfully by the artists you like which is okay with me, I do that too.
swhaze 06/30/2014 19:03
I love your list! Someone who is not afraid to embrace Pop here!
junodog4 10/15/2012 18:54
Lots of pop, but that's not a bad thing. Prince is a pimp.
pearljammer13 01/07/2012 23:55
13 Prince albums. I didn't even know there were 13 Prince albums.
FlashRah 10/17/2011 06:52
Props on the unabashed love for pop. The community needs more folks like you
Hayden 10/16/2011 00:57
Props for Berlin. Amazing album. The rest is your taste, is definitely not mine though...sorry.
cartoken 10/10/2011 05:27
too much Prince for me but a very good and feminine selection. and thank you for adding The Sound Jeopardy, i feel less alone now. if you haven't listened to From The Lions Mouth/The Sound, you can go ahead, for me it's even better than Jeopardy.
alelsupreme 09/22/2011 20:41
bloody hell, someone likes Prince.
Anywya, decent chart. Like the inclusion of Monster Movie, Dare and Replicas. They should get more respect on this site than they do.
Your chart is not to my taste, but anybody who describes the Beatles as 'horrible' is alright with me.
joedec 09/10/2011 11:55
Not a bad list. It's obvious that you're a huge fan of Prince
