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 88.9/100, a mean average of 92.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.0.

great 90's list! Twenty percent same as mine, a lot I liked but left out, and about twenty percent I have to check out!!
Its cool that you've got the CORRECT Stereolab and the CORRECT Daft punk.
Lots of excellent selections here, especially OK Computer (I know it's become a total cliché at this point, but there's no denying it's a great album), Grace, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and Nevermind. Sure, this chart smells like the nineties, and sure, my nineties smelled like a nasty combination of human sweat, Teen Spirit, patchouli, and old flannel shirts--but there sure was, and is, a lot of great music to celebrate.
This charts sucks, you don't have Radiohead at #1 and YOU'VE GOT OASIS, oh God, you should die.
Great chart dude.
Great chart
Adicionar em breve, ainda em construçao :)
Bom descobrir que mais alguém no planeta conhece Plumtree.
Só uma pergunta: cadê Chico Science?
