Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round' the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.1/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Great chart. It´s nice to see someone who knows there´s music that is not british or american

As many probably are, I was thrown off by the first page. However, knowing that Lily Chou-Chou's Kyuku was buried somewhere in this chart, I kept looking. Just on the second page I was thrown for a loop on some of the most beloved or obscure music I have ever come across. Have you ever listened to Jim O'rourke's Eureka. You should. Love this chart.
Love this chart! We have many albums in common.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
