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 79.8/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.7.

Contra as Vampire Weekends best? Illinoise is too far down, as are Deja and American Idiot (They're #1 and #2 on my chart). Also, im confused as to why Yield is Pearl Jams best. But all in all, love the picks on this chart. Just A little out of order.

some really awesome records here, only flaw is that there aren't any before 1991- you might be missing out on experiencing some all-time classics man, anyway respect for putting siamese dream as your number 1 - much respect

There's a lot I like about this chart, but there's a few albums that bring it down. Also Nevermind is the oldest album you have; there's nothing from before 1991. It's nice though, I do like it overall.

Glad to see someone appreciate Siamese Dream enough to make it #1. Have you tried listening to music from earlier generations. As someone that loves Siamese Dream, I could see you really appreciating what influenced this album...some psychedelic rock (which isn't all acid tripping whack stuff). Check out the best of stuff (sometimes best way to get to know an artist) of the Beatles: Best of 1967-1970 and Rolling Stones: Hot Rocks 1964-1971.
