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 83.1/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Plenty of masterpieces. A good chart. But i feel sorry that you probably hid some other interesting albums by putting so much Beatles and things related to them too. Sometimes feels like you trying to fill some holes in the list. Also think that you missed a lot of good records from the 21th century, particulary indie and folk. Don't know if it's due your taste. After all, it's your chart.

Top heavy on the Beatles (always understandable). The Rolling Stone top 25 to fill in the cracks between post Beatles and The Newsboys. Docked a notch for Grease. Then again my wife would have bumped it up 10 points FOR that album.

On the whole, a beautiful chart. "The jungle book" is a cute touch. Too many solo Beatles? Not sure. There's room for more, the body of work being gigantic.

Well someone likes the Beatles ... but I have no problem with this.
Diverse but nothing all that unknown, though not a bad chart at all :)
