Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 15henklea 
Allright, here is this chart. As I began to create this, I realized that I listen to waaaay too much music. Each album on this chart, I absolutely love to death and wish that 75% of these could be in the top 30.
So anywayse, I came to the random realization recently (nice alliteration there sir (; )that going on and rambling about an album in my comments for each album is pretty dumb. So, adding best tracks and the best part-thingy (usually lyrics...) on the album.
Screw Honorable mentions. Screw rating paradigms. etc.
All IMO, be 17 year old boy from Nowhereville USA if that matters to you...

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 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

34 in common- though I don't do a good job of preventing myself from rambling on about my music. My notes are a little excessive and long... XD

there may be a ton of albums by some bands, but at least they're really good bands.

Very good only 8 artists in common, but you have all the 8 Radiohead albums in your chart. Love Doolittle and the others we have. I would suggest listening to all the Massive Attack albums if you haven't already! Also Bjork as well. :) Rate and comment on mine please.
